I can see the reasoning behind your comments. Thanks for the mention.
I would also like to mention this with regard to diversity. It really matters to the Left unless it involves education staff, media staff, elected officials, law enforcement, and the national political debate.
Other than that, they’ll all for diversity, and proud of it.
Once or twice in my life, seriously that few times, I saw something someone had done that offended me so much I actually used the word. I’ve never done it in person.
The the last time was about a decade ago and I did it in front of my second wife. I had to explain my though process to her, explaining why I was so upset and what I meant by it.
I know. Isn’t that something. I’ll have to admit to laughing inside in reaction to some of them.
People are trying to find their own way in life. It’s okay.
I do find the Islam adoption by Blacks to be interesting though. The inhabitants of Africa weren’t Islamic. Much of the Continent was in the dark as it related to formal religion, having shamin/witch doctors and the like.
So now we know who came up with Watermelon Oreos. :)
Yeah, that has been redressed, in spades (no pun intended). It has been, for a very long time. It's that very attitude that the wrongs of the past must be atoned for in perpetuity that enables liberals to keep blacks enslaved on the vote plantation.
Go ahead, let that "white guilt" direct your life, it's worked out so well for whites and blacks so far, hasn't it?
If you want to read it as ‘white guilt’, be my guest.
That’s not what it is. It’s simply a matter of respect.
I respect my fellow man and I chose not to use words that offend them.
As for ‘white guilt’ working out well, no it hasn’t. That doesn’t mean that ever aspect of common courtesy is a result of ‘white guilt’.
Louis Farrakhan espouses that blacks should convert to Islam to fight the evil white man who enslaved them. What he doesn’t tell his minions is that it was Muslim Arab slave traders that captured them and sold their ancestors to slavers in the first place, because they would not convert to Islam.......................
Interesting point. Where did you come across that?
I’d actually like to read up on it.
For now, it’s fashionable to call them BLACKS. When that’s no longer PC, what will you do then?
Paula has had Michelle Obama on her show and kissed butt the whole time that big butt was on her show..
IIRC...in a interview after the subject show, did not Paula Deen state somewhat derogatorily, that Michelle would not stop eating during the show, during the commercial breaks. Referencing how Michelle devoured deep fried Snickers, all the pastries, (maybe lobsters???)?
Yes, there were followup articles regarding how the WH / Michelle were upset/felt betrayed that Paula would reveal Michelle’s extreme noshing habits (OR rather extreme grazing habits).
"WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?"
Well first of all, I think that’s hokey baloney. Blacks, African Americans, whatever, pick one and settle on it.
I don’t necessarily like “Whites”, but as long as it isn’t some guy who is using it like cracker, then I could care less. Frankly, even if it was used in those terms, what’s the point of discussing it with that sort of loser.
Folks need to buck up. Quit looking for an offender, and get on with your life.
Liberalism is a mental disorder. Liberals would like for us all to think they have never used the dreaded N.........word.
Oh, Lord, the world is coming to an end. Paula Deen used that terrible word. Stone her to death for it, but give
Chris Rock and the gangbanging thug rappers millions of dollars for saying the word every 2 minutes and rapping about raping women and killing cops. LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER!
Whats the difference in white people using the word rappers use it all the time and so do comedians!!! Plus this was something that was said 30u years ago. Why is this person filinv a lawsuit after 30 years? Does it make sense to you? It does me!!! Money!! Thats all they want!!!!! If people dont like the word then make rappers and comedians stop saying it fire them to!!!! Its so stupid this whole world is crazy!!! And dont look like its gonna change anytime soon looks like its gonna keep gettin worse!!!
If all this hoopla is over something that happened 30 years ago, I owe Deen a big apology.
