hoe potatoer

Sounds more like a slur on the Irish.

[chance33_98]

In a book about slave songs, she found terms from the chant: "chicka," "rat trap," "bulligator" and a reference to slaves hoeing potatoes.

They found that in a book? Burn it!!! Destroy anything with words we don't like. get rid of the chant, and then destroy all printed materials people could see those words in... < /sarcasm here, but reality on liberal boards >

[Dog Gone]

She also determined that the words "Higger, Bigger," could be viewed as a mask for the original terms.

Oh well, if they could be viewed as a "mask" then we should ban them, of course.

Anything that rhymes with "digger" should be banned from the English language.

"hoe potatoer" -- could be considered offensive

integrity and respect and tolerance

Welcome to tolerance camp.

[Loyalist]

This nonsense sure does trigger a snigger. I'll have to pour myself a bigger jigger. She's quite a rigger, I figger.

[RLK]

How long did it take these idiots to research all this in order to show their behinds and become the center of attention?

[JRandomFreeper]

The 28-line chant of apparent nonsense words

The high school's name also appears in the chant. And those words are obvious nonsense words.

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

I'm offended and I don't even know why. I feel a lawsuit coming on.

[judgeandjury]

Gary Carson, the district's associate superintendent of operations, however, suggested the district build a tradition of "integrity and respect and tolerance."

Huh? I can understand the part about integrity and respect, but how and why did the word tolerance get tacked on to the end of Carson's statement? Tolerance about what?

[judgeandjury]

She also determined that the words "Higger, Bigger," could be viewed as a mask for the original terms.

Yeah, and the word "fornicate" could be viewed as a mask for that other F-word, but should we ban the word fornicate because of this?

[APBaer]

Yo, Bro, I got a hoe:

"The Man With a Hoe" by Millet

[SwinneySwitch]

"The school board voted unanimously Monday night to do away with the chant after Superintendent Wynona Winn said that at least one phrase -- "hoe potatoer" -- could be considered offensive."

Only if you are a hoe or a potatoe!!

[Intolerant in NJ]

- "hoe potatoer" -- could be considered offensive... I for one am offended that so many people seem to have become convinced of their own superior righteousness that they can so easily become offended and pass judgment on what others have to say...

[ravinson]

My favorite Kansas cheers are "Rock, Chock, Jayhawk" and:

Rah rah ree,
Kick 'em in the knee,
Rah, rah, rass,
Kick 'em in the... other knee.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I googled up "bulligator" but got virtually nothing but references to the Hutchinson story. What on earth is a "bulligator"?

[Rightly Biased]

My Wife a Hutch High Grad 1991 never even learned the silly chant in fact I just read it to her and she said "you wonder why I never learned it"

None the less these are our publically funded indoctrination camps in full swing.
