From what I remember, it started with Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott in the early 1990s. That was the first time I remember someone publicly losing their position and being removed from society for saying “the word”. Before then, it just had negative connotations. The media really does have a lot of influence over people, and acts as a way around our freedom of speech rights.
What was funnier about that was that … I don’t remember if this was her or someone else, but someone wasn’t even using it derogatorily, just acknowledging that the word existed, and actually possibly even defending against its use.
Didn’t matter. The cudgel had been crafted, and was used against anyone who wasn’t sided with the cabal.
