......A spade certainly is a garden implement, but if you are in the gardening shed and I need a spade, I’d better ask you for one, or you might bring out a hoe, useless for my work.......

Celebrating diversity regardless of the consequences. Nice one Clarice. But you might be accused of "micro-aggression" if you're not careful. Of course, bringing that up may make me guilty of it as well. What the heck has become of us? ;>}

The meat for those to lazy to read the whole article:
Multiculturalism, which exalts race and ethnicity over middle class values, is proto-fascist. The centerpiece of fascism is race hatred and race war. The centerpiece of communism is class hatred and class warfare. That's how you tell the two apart. Time to start calling the race hustlers proto-fascists, which is what they are.

Spot on!

The last time I heard the term spade used as a slur was the 80’s movie Police Academy.

I don’t think the affirmative action people would know a spade from a hoe. Someone that has worked in a garden or tilled the ground would be alien to them.

I'm not so sure that you are correct.

After all, they are VERY proficient with manure spreaders.

I wonder what fraction of Americans think a hoe has something to do with road construction.

He has a tough road to hoe

[Enterprise]

Or that tough old ho looks like 40 miles of bad road.

[DeWalt]

That would be row, not road.

[DManA]

I know.

[rktman]

A tough row to hoe? A tough hoe on the road? LOL! I don’t know.

[SeaHawkFan]

I call it a shovel.

If they outlaw the word ‘spade’ what will we do about suits in decks of cards?

[rktman]

Uh, upside down beets? Of course if someone with a club foot gets offended, we’re gonna have to rename those too.
