I think "Feets, don't fail me now" is one of those phrases that has entered the common vernacular. I wouldn't even have realized it ever had any racial connotation if someone didn't point it out and I don't think most people would.
This kind of overreaction has gotten ridiculous.

This kind of overreaction has gotten ridiculous. Amen ... this is the kind of crap that comes from the DU crowd.

"This kind of overreaction has gotten ridiculous." Amen to that. I've been around a long time and I never thought of the phrase as racial in any context. Little Feat and Bugs were my exposure to it.

(Unless I start calling Peshawar using phrases like as "I want my 72 virgins now," I figure I'm safe.)
