Rick Perry’s Texas hunting spot's racially charged name lingered. [Wabbit season! Troll season!]

Paint Creek, Tex. — In the early years of his political career, Rick Perry began hosting fellow lawmakers, friends and supporters at his family’s secluded West Texas hunting camp, a place known by the name painted in block letters across a large, flat rock standing upright at its gated entrance.

“Niggerhead,” it read.

The name of this particular parcel did not change for years after it became associated with Rick Perry, first as a private citizen, then as a state official and finally as Texas governor.

This from a media that downplayed years of Obama befriending Jeremiah Wright.

Not only befriending him. He married them, he baptized their kids, he preached to them for 20 years and he was supposed to be his WH minister until he was exposed.

***and I have never heard the term NIGGERGEAD.....ever till today***

One of my working companions years ago said that in the military there was a sexual transmitted disease called that.

I never heard of it and I don’t remember seeing it listed in the book EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT SEX, (But were afraid to ask), although the book did mention several weird STDs endemic among black people.

The “b” word is commonplace, and the “n” word has become profanity. What’s profane is that both terms try to diminish the humanity of the people called by them.

Seriously, though: they leased some land during hunting season that had an old rock that had been painted. And this is news?

You need to read the article - the parcel had been called that name for a long time before his dad leased the land for hunting season, he saw it, he mentioned it to his dad and his dad painted over it.

The femminists used the word “bitch” to suggest power as opposed to a slur...I hardly think Perry is a racist as he grew up with poor Hispanics, etc.

the biggest racist and promoting the division is Obozo!

The article states:

His daddy painted over it.

The rock was turned over.

People have read the name for years.

It’s readable now.

The name was going to come back to bite him in the butt.

He and his family have had a hunting lease there for decades.

Ok, something doesn’t add up. If old man Perry was so upset over the name, why did he sign the lease year after year after year? What gave him the right to paint over it? If the rock was turned upside down, then how is anyone able to read it? Perry knows the name could bite him in the butt, however continues to sign the lease when there are other leases he could have found during those 30 years.

This is typical Perry. We’ve tried to tell y’all.

Cain is sleazy opportunist for Peddling the RACE CARD on this sad Compost hit piece !

I have zero respect for him after he teamed Up on the Obama Media race card game against a fellow GOP candidate !

He showed who he really is just another Race Baiter.

I will take the Washington Post, NYT, and all democrats seriously if and when they complain about the abuse of the word “Nigger” in the black community. Until then I will NOT tolerate the liberal double standard any longer.

PERIOD.

I watched the Issac Hayes/Yaphet Kotto Blaxploitation flick “Truck Turner (1974)” yesterday and the word “nigger” must have been used at least 100 times.

Mostly it was black on black usage, but there were a couple white on black uses of it.

It was nauseating hearing that word so many times.
