If you wish to learn the true history of "Eenie" and you have a strong stomach, check out Page 11 of the proposed testimony of Dr. Valdenia Winn...in particular Point 13.
"The substitution of the word "tiger" for "nigger" highlights the original purpose and meaning of the "eenie, meenie, minie, moe" nursery rhyme. The nursery rhyme imparted to the listener that "niggers," like tigers, were dangerous animals that should be feared and destroyed."

Excuse me. Did that decision say that n*, like tigers were dangerous animals????? Animals????? That decision sounds racist to me! Sue them! Meanwhile I gotta keep an eye on that 'respectable looking' family of obviously 'dangerous animals' up the street from me. Mom is weeding the flower bed right now, no telling what sort of *dangerous* behaviour she'll resort to next!

This little rhyme is from India during the British rule period. The ORIGINAL was "Tiger by the Toe!"
The lawyer is simply, and TYPICALLY, lying. that's all. that's what lawyers are good for: lies, subturfuge, and money-grubbing....just like the plaintiffs
