Then for at least "Mikey" and "Donnie", they met with Jesse and Al to "relieve" themselves of their hatred pangs.

What makes it worse is when these fools use these words publicly, the redeem themselves with Jesse or Al, kids are watching and so are others who make policy. Redemption should NOT be an arbiter through undesirables, redemption should have meaning in one's heart if they truly want to be forgiven...

At least the Klan will do that crap up front close and personal. Which is worse?

I have fought with the Klan, face to face, word for word. As my ancestors and parents are. I ain't skurred of 'em. But what about these kids today?
You also missed my point.

[Southerners don't monopolize the market on bigotry and pardon me for not being excited by drunk white men at a game. Even if you were just trying to prove a point with that Youtube. I talk to people with bigoted ideas everyday and instead of being excited I discuss, inform, and move forward.]

There is no discussing or informing with anyone who is drunk... And yeah, we can all K.I.M.

Uh...I was saying that I discuss and inform with the sober on a daily basis and don't care about the expressions of the drunk.

I think folks the spew bigotry and hatred are unworthy enough for me to say anything to them. Why?

*sigh* I don't expect every black person walking the face of God's green Earth to be a human history book. Yes, some terms used today are derived from negative meanings: Jigga Boo, N*gga, etc. but then there are some which no one can truly pinpoint an origin. Most of these terms used today where created by slave owners to pit us against ourselves in the first place.

Ex: Lighter (mulatto) skinned blacks vs Darker skinned blacks
"Good hair" vs "Bad Hair"
Bourgie vs country (that n_ _ _ _ _ thinks he's better than you)



One really has to question why we are hating on ourselves in the first place and why we don't tackle this self hate in the second place

Not at all....just one of the older terms I thought would fit well with that line.
