The one thing that i'll say is that racism is not being "kept alive" by black people. Again I ask, how is not letting anything I consider offensive to be said to me cause racism?

Well, if I don't know anything about it, and my 65 year old partents don't know anything about it then how could White poeple have used this little rhyme towards a couple of Black ladies in their mid 40's? Kinda proves my point......the N***** part of this rhyme is being kept alive by the Black community because us White's alive today have no clue of it or it's origins so thus how can my use (or that of a 22 year old White flight attendant) of some form of that rhyme be considered racist in any way?


Yea no way any white person today could possibly no the origin of that tune or any other.

Maybe if you are in the KKK... but otherwise I'm pretty much 100% sure at least my peers and my parents (and their peers) don't know its origin.

U.S. District Judge Kathryn Vratil last week dismissed the sisters' claims of physical and emotional distress but set trial for March 4

At least the Judge had some what of a brain, however, I guess it is left up to an endlessly stupid jury that will award some obscene amount of money. This junk is just passed on to the end consumer in higher rates.

That's because I didn't see yours first. The fact that I was bored and in the mood to debate 20 people is what got this one going. There's been a decided lack of energy since I went home for that day. Now it's just people repeating the same pointless things the first people said and idle chatter. Like this post for instance.

I am going to sue over these lyrics, they are a little more offensive than "Eenie, meenie, minie, moe; pick a seat, we gotta go."

Idiots. This is probably their second lawsuit, the first is because happy meals made them fat...

awesome dude please, everyone knows it ain't the happy meals that make you fat, it's the crackas.

You have a problem, boy?
I would suggest seeing a counselor about anger management.

And if you want to know the truth: Yes. I call b!tches like those two and like you n!ggers because that's what you are.
A lot of my friends (whose skin color is black BTW) would also call them and you n!gger!
And that is mostly based on the fact that you and those two girls act like @ssholes.

Now, why don't you go back to play with your toys, boy.
