“Are black pearls racist? How about blackberries?” Exactly, They don't own the word black, so any word with black in it is okay to use, black eye, black pepper, black ink, black beauty, black bird, black face, black cat, black ant, black lung, black board, blackhead, black jack, black magic, black sheep, blacksmith, blacktop, black widow, blackout, black mail, black market, black ball...

And if you play it backwards, it says, “Paul is dead!”

[Squantos]

NAACP can’t read or understand basic english so it’s racism ?

Good dawd’a mighty these idgit bigots who profit from keep the hate alive are some stupid SOB’s if they think that card is racist !

Shut down NASA etc ..........no more black holes !!

PC is nothing but liberal socialist dummy speak that makes one believe it is possible to pick up a turd by the clean end !

Doom on those that let such get a pass .......

[Jack Hydrazine]

And they definitely do not own the word “white lie.” That’s for Whitey!

[goat granny]

Some schools have green boards now...(truth) the world is running amok......

[PubliusMM]

I’m offended that they are offended. Too many people are WAY too sensitive to WAY too many things, these days. Time to grow-up, get over it and get on with it.

If I were black, I’d be so embarrassed right about now...I feel sorry for any black person who has an IQ above that of the average NAACP member. “Black ho” indeed. What a complete pack of fools they are.

[Major Matt Mason]

This is a case of people hearing what they want to hear. The Perpetually Aggrieved are constantly looking for reasons to be outraged, even when they are spectacularly wrong as in this case. Clearly, they are saying "holes" and not "ho's". Frankly, shame on the media for even reporting on this. I would have laughed in their faces and said, "nice try".

How bored can these people possibly be? Television news covered this?

Too funny!

So stupid they couldn’t pour water out of a boot with instructions written on the heel?

[farmguy]

When Jay Leno starts joking about this, he will call it a “white trash” hole. That will make it politically correct.

Racist, Racist, Racist?

“It’s a good thing that Hallmark was not niggardly in their efforts to solve the problem.”

LOL - almost ROFL
and I’m not a republican from SC!

[aumrl]

So, am I a racist if I punish my black Lab for waking me up at 4:30 AM?

unless your black lab is the black sheep of his litter, you’ll find the name only refers to his hair not his skin.
My Black Lab is quite intelligent.

[agere_contra]

Sni**er.

LOL, LOL.

[moovova]

Yep, I thought about the possibility of offending Italianos...after I posted.

But hey...I love all things Italian, so hopefully The Mob won’t come after me.

My kid just graduated, and when I was looking for a card, I found one of these cards in Hallmark. I bought it.

[TChad]

I was gonna bring up the guy who resigned (don’t remember the details) because he used the word “niggardly”. LOL

That would be David Howard, a white aide to Washington D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams, in 1999. Williams changed his mind after the story behind the resignation became a public joke, and Howard was rehired in a different position.
