Sorry you totally misunderstood my comments.

If I herd the word negro used by some one of my age or older I would of course be understanding and generous. I did not say the term was incorrect or not to be used at all.

You have put thoughts and intentions into my comments that do not exist. Perhaps your generous spirit can be extended to those of us who may not be clear enough for you

[Ditter]

The same word usage in Texas at the same time. Nigra was Negro spoken with a southern accent and was not meant to be insulting.

[Deagle]

Well said, and think if someone put some of these thoughts into words, well, the enormous backlash that might occur...heh. Mostly because of the racist groups looking for causes...

No problem, I know what you meant but was just trying to put things into context. We have those today trying to portray those that use those words now as if they were using them years ago. We will continue to have that problem, especially with liberals that always seem to know better.

I have no problem with your statements - true. I just wish that liberals would have the same forgiveness...

[Nifster]

yeah....I have pretty much given up expecting anything from liberals other than their proven foolishness

[Amagi]

That's a big LOL, Cowboy Bob.
Now the chronically offended are fundamentally transforming the definitions of long established words in such a way so they can continue to have more excuses for whining.
They so funny.

[Deagle]

Yeah... It’s called political correctness...

My son was called colored during a recess in third grade. The next thing he knew he was pulled into the principals office where the kid who said colored was sitting crying and the Education Leftist establishment present in the room made the little fellow apologize to my son. Wonderful way to encourage positive race relations.

My son couldn’t figure out what was going on.

A few days later it all came out, and I went into the office to hear their version.

When I heard the story, I looked at the assembled fools and said, You use the term “Person of Color” all the time. In English grammar a person of color is a Colored Person. So what is the problem?

It was like talking to oatmeal. For a few minutes I thought they might call DHS because I was not a PC enough mom. He lasted til Thankgiving in that system.

Brigitte Geiger and Sharon Jones were brought up on six administrative charges by Larrie Reynolds, the superintendent, on March 23, 2012 for unbecoming conduct and other charges based on a conversation they had in the locker room on March 2, 2012 that was overheard by two students

Well, at least they still have their White Privilege!!

(sarc)

Gosh - that’s as bad as calling Whites “Caucasians”.....

My paternal GF was from Lebos. Does that or does that not make me 1/2 Lesbian? Forget the male plumbing, BfloGuy, I’m resigned to it.

Well, the libs have done a good job. Because almost every post here is so caught up in the semantics of this event, caught up in the history of words, caught up in the meanings and minutia of words, on and on ad infinitum, that the real story here is almost completely ignored.

The real story is that two long-time, experienced teachers were terminated from their livelihoods in this time of economic hardship. No mention in the article of their side of the story, or what will happen to them now that their names, incomes and reputations are shattered., not to mention the effects on their health and their opportunities for future employment. These are REAL people like you and me. They are probably not young any more. Now they are tossed away by the liberal establishment like so much garbage in a trash can.

The "evidence" of their crime is laughable hearsay and would never hold up in court. They were judged and found guilty by a couple of children and by adult inquisitors on a PC mission.

Without writing twenty more paragraphs, I could boil it down to one fact. The word "negroes" as allegedly used by the two teachers is not the real story. The real story is the use of political correctness for power and control....to show white people who's boss....to govern white people's thoughts and speech, and to keep ALL employed white people cowed, paralyzed and always looking over their shoulders for lurking tale-bearers waiting to report them for the words they use.

The above linked article bears reading in toto. Analyze it. It's basically a description of two gestapo-like, non-judicial kangaroo courts in full authoritarian action.

Forget the semantics....concentrate on how the race card is played for control, power and destruction of personal liberty by the liberal establishment. This can happen to any of us in the brave, new ObamaWorld.

THIS is what it's all about.

That was History of the World, Part I. Gregory Hines was pretending to be a eunuch to escape the guards.

Ditto.

Ain’t it nice to be published?
I have a six-year publishing history with what was, the local newspaper, until Gannett got involved, moved the paper out of town, and made it a regional fishwrap.

Heh. But in California I think you're allowed in the ladies' room if that's any consolation.

Dead on. You are exactly right in your analysis. Excellent. I hope these two people will be helped out by one of the conservative legal groups to represent them in Court. No one should have the right to ruin people like this. It is sickening.
