Exactly. I heard about this more just this morning (that the oh-so-horrid “N-word” was thrown out) and have the same view. This justifies GANGING UP on someONE and beating the tar out of them?
Read the last sentence/quote of this very article for some insight into this whole idea.
I’m sick & tired of this being treated as the very worst crime you can ever do (oops, except maybe drawing a “noose”).
One of my co workers and myself were working on a truck when the driver[who was black always in trouble with the law and coming to work with liquor on his breath]walked up to use and noticed the fish hook on his hat bill.He started hollerin and raising hell about it saying it was a klan symbol and he needed to take it off.I thought he was just messing with him but he was serious.He kept carrying on about it,demanding he remove it.Of course he didn't,we were joking about it later and I said I hoped I drew his name out of the Christmas hat and that I would buy him a box of fish hooks for his Christmas present.
