    I read that today and was going to post this. Just horrible.

    People who complain about being excluded from using a racially charged word need to understand, why do you want to say it? What right do you have to say it? Simply because others are using the term? Well once you're belittled and demeaned by the term, you get to use it. Until then, STFU.

    That’s the best response I’ve heard to that complaint.

    I usually just go with “Actually you are allowed to say it. Nobody is going to put you in jail. Just don’t come crying to the rest of us if you don’t like the response you get.”

    We love racism in baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet.

    I will be surprised if Daniel Perry is with us in five years because someone will take justice into their hands. As Starman constantly reminds us, "400 million ... "

    Then again, I'm surprised George Zimmerman hasn't gotten capped.

    Perry is undoutedly a racist and a shitty person, and for me, his conviction was rightful because when you go into a volatile situation carrying a gun and end up shooting someone dead, you put yourself there and are responsible.

    But that incident still boiled down to two morons with gun fetishes crossing paths and one of them ending up dead,

    It's not really like George Zimmerman. In this case, they were both white, and they both were there looking for trouble. The guy who ended up dead was the one who initiated the whole thing and he had an AK-47 strapped to his chest.

    There were no winners there in the best case scenario, even if the bigger loser was the one who ended up dead. The guy who killed him should be in prison, because that is how the rule of law works, and Abbott is a shithead.
