California is on the way to making willfully using the wrong gender pronoun a misdemeanor criminal offense punishable with jail time. They are doing this because hate speech hurts real people. The D-word is no different, and it conjures up horrific painful memories of slavery and Jim Crow.
And before all the constitution freaks jump in about the first amendment, is like to remind you paranoids that the freedom of speech is not without recognized limitations. You can't say slanderous or libelous things. You cant incite riots. You can't shout fire in a crowded theater. So we're constantly defining what can't be said. This is nothing new.
But if you're white and use the N-word or the D-word, you should definitely go to jail. Then some of the inmates can explain to you in great detail, over and over, all night long, every night, the error of your ways. Right up your butt.
