SirJohnBarleyCorn,
In regards to your 'Exotic' comment, I pointed out to the Raleigh N&O in an article about a week ago that they were being inconsistent.
The had an article about a club causing problems and the headline was "Strip Club Owner ..." I asked them why the owners are Strip Club owners and the people working there are dancers. I wonder why they didn't say 'Dance-Club' owner?
You are right about the plantation remark... Nothing like going back 145 when you're talking about 19 year old kids. When these kids where born, Oprah was the Highest Paid TV personality. The Cosby show was the number ONE TV show, and
his nickname was "America's Dad". The grew up watching Rap videos on MTV.
We all need to ask ourselves why the need to go back and mention the south, slavery, and priviledge in reporting of this case. Because they are trying to elicit an emotional response, a negative emotional response toward these players.
Okay, remember this is the Country's largest paper going to the masses.
Not only do they slip Master and Plantation in there, but check this out:
"Master-planned marriage of Gothic..."
One of Websters definitions of Gothic is as follows:
6. gothic Barbarous; crude. AND
b. Germanic
You know about them Germans
Oak I live in NJ. Ive had the blacks here accuse me of my granparents being slave owners. Im second generation. My grandparents had it tough when they came over legally. The Irish side had it rough and the Slavic side were farmers and miners. However my family is still blamed for slavery. Go figure. Ive always thought if you wanted to go to college you saved, got scholarships or were lucky enough to have parents who could pay for you. People whine too much and expect free rides. And the outcry from the blacks over this rape amazes me somewhat. They have condemned these guys before a trial. On MTV they glorify thug life and being pimps. If they want to go to decent colleges then dont buy the brand new cars and expensive clothes, and go to school. I am amazed at the brand new expensive cars you can see parked in the projects. I wish theyd get over the slavery BS, their own tribes sold many of them.I told one guy, you could still be in Africa and not driving your lexus and living your thug life. I think we need to dig up some cases where blacks raped white girls and compare them. This whole thing reeks.
