Oh, for God’s sake. Was that song stupid and a mistake? Sure it was, but somehow I doubt those boys have serious intentions of hanging people from trees.
Oh, they uttered the N-word! Let me clutch my pearls in horror!
Is the use of that particular word offensive? I’d say it depends on the speaker, since blacks use it with regularity.
It’s a WORD. Sorry, I just can’t work up the required outrage.
I’m offended every day by things I hear, but I don’t try to start national incidents over them, nor do I call for the rending of garments and the wearing of hair shirts. I knew when I heard about this we’d see folks hurrying to prostrate themselves.
Just a few years ago the Black Panthers publicly encouraged the killing of white men, women, and BABIES. Where was the national outcry then? Also, why didn’t black people take to the streets then, with signs and slogans to support US?
Wow...I just discovered that President Boren’s son Dan used to work as a page for...former Klansman Robert Byrd.
