Well it is speculation but not of the tin foil variety. That would be saying Hillary Clinton did it. Jason
Disco Writer used the N word in the writers room.

It's neither. Censorship is authoritative and is an issue both on the left and the right side of the political spectrum.
Agreed. I live in an apartment building that's roughly 80% black tenants, and I've heard older blacks call down younger blacks for using the N-word among themselves... their general idea is "we fought hard to get out from under that word and here you are disgracing yourself by using it."
Maybe my white skin color and culture doesn't give me an opinion, but I have one anyway: I agree with them.
It could be censorship. It depends on the main goal of that particular department. Is it used to help create a friendly work enviroment or as a tool to help make issues go away that impacts the shows public image. Jason
What are you talking about? You're not making any sense.
Left right up down.... Doesn't matter.. We weren't there and our speculating is like pissing up a rope.. Pointless. But do continue.. It's fun to read! It's like a news site piping up with grand stories 2 minutes after the event that have zero facts. Lets see if any more facts come out before we break out the thumb screws and iron maidens..
So you are saying the issue might be less about race and more of a age difference thing ? Jason
But we are nerds. This is our jobs! Dare I say duty. Jason

This article is from September 6th.
Has it been super-confirmed that he was talking about Discovery, since September 6th?
90 percent it's Discovery, of course.
Legally he probably signed shit where he's not allowed to name the show, and legally if CBS talks about it, then Mosley can ignore his NDA, like Eliza Dushku did with CBS recently, becuase the corporation started the conversation.
That I don't know. I do know younger blacks that will fight at the drop of a hat when called the N-word by a white, but allow it from another black.
Personally, I just chalk it up to bad home life, but what do I know...
Not to make light of this subject but I can't help but think of Robert Downey Jr. In Tropic Thunder.
The irony here is that the complaint supposedly came from within a group of writers. People whose livelihood comes from the use of words. One would think that they would be the most sensitive to any limiting of speech in any form.
When speech is censored for one, you might cheer. But when it is inevitably your turn to be censored ...
Still, no one here knows the full story.

Ah, but you see how some reacted to this: they immediately jumped to a conclusion based on behavior (or a stereotype) having nothing to do with the make up of that writing staff. But this is what you get in a world where white liberals (STD production) judge from their ivory tower, and no one is safe from that--not even black people. They believe they know best and will tell you what to think, say and do, even when they are not qualified to even dare cross that line...but they do, hence the Mosely situation. It was his experience. His experience, not those who would never have any idea what that word means, nor have the racial/psychological history to know when and how its used and when its inappropriate to do so.
So yes, screw that in every way imaginable.
What I have noticed is the n-word seems to have been broken down into 3 different meanings. You have the old racist orginal meaning. You have the black Americans trying to take power away from the word meaning. Then you had the hip cool edgelord meaning coming from young people who like it because it is edgy and black culture became a big part of mainstream culture. It is fascinating how you can get two white guys and will use it because they hate black people and the other because they love black culture and want to be part of it. Jason
He said that he used the n-word in the writers room and was called to HR because of it. He said he was asked not to use the word by HR because someone reported it made them uncomfortable and then felt he no longer wanted to work in that environment.
I haven’t seen anyone dispute that this has happened. CBS has not issued a denial or correction. Some are questioning the motive of the person who reported him but the basic facts of the case seem clear, at least to me. Maybe the “why” is in question but “what” happened seems to be known.
From my understanding of working in a white collar job this is exactly what I would expect would happen if a similar situation happened.
The sheer lunacy on display in this threat boggles the mind.
If HR ignores a complaint, no matter how innocuous, the company, and the instigator of any remarks can be sued for millions, each.
It has all the ingredients of a thread that will still be active year from now.
Seriously. Blue Light was probably one of my favorite science fiction novels of all time. They had talent like that in the writer's room and chased him away over a stupid policy like this?
Stupid policy or not HR had to act. He chose to walk.
