I was in the rigging above a stage once when a stage manager called up into the darkness, "Any Riggers up there?"
Came a response from my black friend, "Hey, don't call us riggers, call us rigroes!".

I hate a fellow FreePer to task, but the term Rigger is no longer PC. You must refer to them as Riggroes.
You're welcome!

I just couldn't help posting the McKinney thing because she is soooooo out there. Not just on her charges of racism, either. She's simply one of the most entertaining public fruitcakes we have.
And maybe the most entertaining. I mean, we've got our share of fruitcakes but honestly, I can't think of anyone offhand to top Cynthia.

No, they are Riggers.The preferred term is "Rigroes"
