Actually, I kinda disagree...any man who hides behind his wife's or mama's good sheets and too scared to say how he feels to my face or too scared to say or do something without a rabble and some cops who feels likewise is a coward to me.
Heh

That's what the Klan said when I fought with them and the National Guard was between us... Besides, there are skinheads that just wear jeans, t-shirt and steeltoed boots, and Dr. Duke wears a suit...

Some Klan members wear sheets and some wear suits (and you would never know they were Klan members). They often march without their faces covered.
Whatever the case may be, they get no props from me.

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...

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.

Please enlighten me since you are so familiar with the GC population's "poignancy"?

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

*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
