I totally disagree with you on that point. I remember when that man was fired and I thought that was totally wrong. Niggardly is a word that has a meaning. It is not his fault that he has a better vocabulary than some of his coworkers. I thought the idiot in the case was the black man who filed the complaint against him. Are we going to start penalizing people for having a good vocabulary?

Like I said YES it is a word but in the common sense category he gets a zero! The reality of it is that ANY word of that nature is a sensitive issue with most black people. It is not a matter of "who knows more education" it's a matter of when you choose to use a word SO close to a offensive word, be prepared for the backlash.

Ummm well, the stereotype is that when taking a shower, white folks do not use a wash cloth (at all) to cleanse themselves "THOUROUGHLY" in certain areas .

You know, in CERTAIN areas...........

***DISCLAIMER*****

This is not the opinion of HK1974. I am mearly explaining the meaning behind that garbage on the website!

All the news that's fit to print

The New York Times did a story on this. It notes that the creators of the site have a black stepmother.
Read for yourself, but only for 14 days. Then, you have to shell out caiche-foo.

The article's author was an entertainment reporter for the New York Daily News, as a side note.

This site has been up a long time. I believe there is a thread about it in the archives.

I'm sorry about that. I didn't even consider that this might be an old site.
