Political Correctness run rampant

AMC, despite decrying the fact that Blazing Saddles probably couldn’t be made today proceeds to censor the N word  from the movie and ruins its funniest scene, ignoring the fact that the movie is anti-racist and was co-written by Richard Pryor. Lenny Bruce said that a slur’s suppression gives it its power. Banning words is like banning colors from art. Get over it and be offended when someone is trying to offend you.
