Ugh! Using "Brotha" in a lede....

So Scoop Jackson is going by Michael Smith now?

Scoop has a story on Arenas on the website right now. I hadn't read him for a while -- and only ever do for a laugh -- this guy is great. He ends the story with the line from the Adidas commercial "You're not a fool are you?" Umm yes Scoop actually I am, for actually making it through one of your entire columns.

 

I'm so white I'm opaque. But that's not going to stop me from using it in one of my stories this week. I'm bringing Brotha back.

 

Bruddah. hehe. I would've enjoyed that far more than "Brotha"
People of Pallor is excellent too.

 

Just wrong. It's a reporter's job to clean up quotes. Say "brother" because there's no dictionary entry for "brotha."

 

How do we feel about "Homeslice"?

 

That's so 1987.

 

What's current usage?

Homeskllet?

Homefry?

Enlighten me.

 

What it is, Drew!

Lord have mercy, I'd like to be down in her hood.

 

A few years back, there was a writer at the Augusta Chronicle, I can't remember who it was, who wrote this lead. The name has been changed, obviously.

"John Doe was the bomb Tuesday night."

 

Drew is indeed a goddess, bruh.

So much so that I think I could get the image of Tom Geen's cock in her mouth out of my head for the three minutes it would require for me to get aroused and fulfill a lifelong fantasy.

Word.

 

Seems like a Pyrrhic victory for Michael Smith the writer.

 

Oh, brotha.
