Racial "code words" - Ed Lasky's take

We've had posts on racial "code words" - but I found a more extensive compilation on American Thinker written by ED LASKY. It seems the list will keep growing as the polls slip or stay even. I read that the word "niggardly" should be removed from the dictionary. It's root word has nothing to do with that other word. But all manner of words: bitch, she-devil, whore, trollop, hitlery, hildebeast, shrew, angry cunt etc. are ok because they're about THAT woman. Try calling Mrs Obama an angry cunt. "Angry" becomes one of those code words when applied to black skin? This world is crazy. Ever watch the Obama fans on TV? They ARE angry. Doesn't matter what color, profession, gender or whatever else. Keith Boykin, Susan Rice, Donna Brazile, Howard Fineman, Jonathan Alter, Roland Martin--never stops screaming, Mark Green went ballistic and the list goes on. All it does is show how weak Barry is and how he can't fight his own battles.

List of 'Banned' words to describe Obama growing
ED LASKY
What are we to do? So many words that might be used to describe Barack Obama are being shouted down as being "racist".

Here is the roll -- and it is an ever-expanding one:
"Clean and articulate" (remember those words, Joe Biden?)
"Skinny"
"Arrogant"
"The One" (David Gergen says that in the South -- it's always the South -- this term means "uppity"
"Exotic"
"Angry"
"Risky"
"Disrespecful"
"His middle name" (which shall not be used here)
"Community Organizer" : New York Governor David Patterson was merely the most famous person to register this charge -- it has been a popular one on the web."
Go read the rest of Mr Lasky's article. He has each one of the "code words" linked. Wonder how soon before he updates.
