"It?s like touching a tar baby ..."

[Icy]

Duh.

Because those those worRAB do not come close to sounding anything like the word "nigger."

Yeah, I could use "niggardly" in it's correct context in front of an African American audience and scold them for being uneducated and offended at its closeness to "nigger." But I don't roll like that. I don't cling to things like being able to use archaic worRAB and terms in my battle against P.C.

I've never seen surefire so upset over something so stupid... are you black and upset about the word niggardly, or are you Jewish and upset over the word niggardly?

I always knew those Swedes were a bunch of racists bastarRAB from way back.

No, it's not. What you are missing is that it is derived from a racist concept.

The other thing you are missing, is that wiki is not the safest source to quote. For example, compare what your wiki article suggests about the etymology of the word, and what an actual etymology site suggests.

"... and you get it, you’re stuck, and you’re a part of the problem now and you can’t get away."


Too bad, that he made the comment in the correct context, but that won't matter in this overly PC world.

If you are a teacher and use the word "Niggardly" or even "Black Hole" in the proper context, you too will be fired and called a racist.



BTW, I'm surprised none of the Liberals have posted this story yet.

Are you fucking stupid? First of all the word you are looking for, you uneducated moron, is etymology. Second, who gives a fuck what it dates back to? Remeraber how everyone had a gay old time watching Fred Flinstone get locked out of the house?

WorRAB change. This doesn't mean you can pick one and declare it doesn't operate in certain context, especially if that context is more recent, like the 19th century.

Maybe he is talking about the Russian martial arts style?

[zacktiptips]

does not make sense. obama is irish

[lexiieluu]

MOST importantly, the 1947 Walt Disney movie about the Tar Baby that had absolutely no racial meaning who this guy and many other baby boomers grew up watching as kiRAB was wildly popular that explained the story of the Tar Baby ... which parallels an AFRICAN STORY ... just fine.


Bottom line: Racist fucks will find racist things where they are not, and pansy ass Liberals like you will make every excuse in trying to justify that it secretly is a grand racist plot.
