The U-bomb

This is performance art, right?

 

I do think it's kind of funny that we prompted 31 backwoods Southerners (and one smart grandpa) to get all worked up about race relations at Thanksgiving dinner. Again, all this racial hypersensitivity hurts the white people, who have been the true victims over the last 20 years. As ever.

 

It's not funny either. Don Imus may be the least humorous person in the entertainment business

 

Thirty-one hayseeds ... and a grandpa, too.

 

Oh, I see...you can attack my heritage and family, and that's OK. But if I call a black woman uppity, then I'm full of hate for her race.

Got it.

You all are disgusting, double standard, hate filled, hypersensitive jackasses.

I'm done with this thread.

 

I was kind of surprised to find out my nephews are still learning about the pilgrims and "Indians" on Thanksgiving in school.

 

No. Nobody said that. What everyone is trying to get you to understand and admit is that there are racial connotations for some of these terms. It is understandable that you are not aware of some of them. I remember being told to take "shine" out of a headline a few years ago. Had never even heard of it.

You are not full of hate if you have used it. However, once you have been told that a lot of people do use it in that manner, you should probably understand that many people might take it that way, and it would be best to avoid it in the future. Not as a martyr of "political correctness." But as a means of being sympathetic to other human beings who have an understandably negative connotation about the term(s).

This is not the hill you should choose to die on.
