The CBC doesn't like it when you use the words: blacklist, blackmail, black sheep, blindsided, blind-spot, brainstorm, crippled, dumb, First Word Problem, ghetto, grandfathered in, gypped, gypsy, inner-city, lame, lowest on the totem pole, pow-wow, savage, spooky, sold down the river, spirit animal, tone-deaf and tribe.
It is time for things to change.
Let us have a pow-wow - all of us and our spirit animals - to root out this savage terminology. We can brainstorm strategies so that we are not blindsided by these words.
Let our tribes leave our ghettos and our inner-cities. Young, old, rich, poor, powerful or resting at the bottom of the totem pole - let us all come together.
Let us not fall tone-deaf or be crippled by what we call First World problems.
Don't be blackmailed by the blind-spots of the entrenched, grandfathered-in gypsies that would leave us lame. Reject those dumb, spooky fossils who gyp us with their antiquated language.
Let us join together as one voice and grunt our disapproval!
