Cheese whiz. We can talk about all manner of people turning themselves into garbage, but not this (”most xxxx”).

What is your take on this Windy, and True? Are we being over sensitive?

Let's make bets on replies removed by mod.

Two, so far.

I'll predict 5 before the thread dies.

I predict THIS will be one of those removed

I think we need to start a white male history month, white male awards and white male music awards.
Since we are now in the minority.

Actually, the racism of the Left accelerates when the "oppressors" are in the minority. Check out South Africa, Zimbabwe, and dozens of other examples.

Yeah, why not go ahead and have a redneck history month, since they’ve demographically won now?

Ebony gives awards to the parents of the Thug of the Year?

Why not give it posthumously to the Thug himself? Get right to the point.

Do Traytable's parents have a niggardly attitude? ... Isn't it a requirement to be given ANY award from Ebony?

nig·gard·ly    [nig-erd-lee]

1. reluctant to give or spend; stingy; miserly.

2. meanly or ungenerously small or scanty: a niggardly tip to a waiter.

The article refers to the “honorees” as “parents”. I find that interesting since the word “parent” can be both a noun and a verb. By my estimation and observation, it seems to me that the “honorees” stretch both potential usages to the breaking point. In the future, I believe the proper connotation is “sperm donor” and “mattress back” for the two individuals. There is no evidence to support using “parent” to describe either one.

Looks like #2 is the operant definition.
