The web site is no longer connecting to the article under the above title. I did find it under a different title:

So what’s his risk? He will get 2+ YEARS of unemployment.

His problem is that he is only 58. But he would need 4 years of unemployment before being eligible for Social Security. So I guess he will sue.

How can the evil corporate plantation owners fire a negro for him using a black approved term of endearment between brothers?

I don't think he is black. I think he is white, and used it as a figure of speech about how he feels his relationship to his employer is structured. The article pointed out that he didn't realize the impact of the term because had a black stepfather who used the word casually; implying that he himself is not black.

Towson is in Baltimore...a city that’s 65% black...black mayor/city council/fire/police/social services/school board/home of the NAACP....the entire power structure is dominated by black Democrats...Towson has to get along in it’s home town..

Nope. Towson is in Baltimore County, not Baltimore city. Entirely different political structure and not the same population demographic.

This case is a first. He got what he deserved. Let the firing stand. (it won’t. it will be rescinded, cuz that’s the double standard)

Hello? He is not black.

Fired for being an idiot. Too bad he didn’t previously declare himself to be gay.

Many people used to say that as an expression of solidarity with blacks -- understanding how they felt oppressed by the system. I remember the expression being used in the wonderful movie The Commitments from 1991, in which a bunch of dirt-poor Irish slum youth in Dublin start an R&B band and emulate Wilson Pickett -- they called themselves (Irish slum dwellers) "the 'n-words' of Europe".

Because I was pinged to it today, May 5, by a freeper who scans the lists for news pertaining to Maryland and pings those on the Maryland list. Now ask me a hard one!

Rarely do I get axed for a hard one, but since you axed, "Why are you so full of yourself or crap?" But that is a redundant question, not a hard one.
