And the second brotha takes the time to give the reporter a real slow explanation that seems like the same one he would give his 5-year old son.
I would also add that the whites in Arkansas seem really stupid.

Lets not generalize here. 😉
You know I bet if I started using those letters together in the forums they (or me) would get moderated. Let's see what happens.
NGR keepin it real.

It also reminds of the time Nemesio got moderated for using the word "modicum."

She can at least thank the Lord that he gave her some looks.

Originally posted by kirksey957This reminds me of an ice cream controversy in Sweden a few years ago. There's a popular ice cream called Nogger, a nonsense word derived from nougat which is a main ingredient. It may seem strange to native english speaking people but I think very few swedes (if any) associates Nogger with anything else than that particular ice cream.

Now the ice cream company produced a variation of Nogger with liquorice flavour and unwisely decided to call it Nogger Black, which still doesn't seem remarkable to many swedes but caused commotion among people with a more natural grasp of the english language. This actually led to some debate about the naming of products and the silliness of reading too much into a name. In any case, Nogger Black didn't last long on the market.

The media also should not have covered such a story because it spreads hate and promotes the thaught that one race is more dumb than the next. It is the person, not the race, in my honest opinion.
I would not get offended by anyone using those letters, to me it is only letters in an order that do not spell anything. What bothers me is that the media covers things like this and it causes others to generalize only because one (or two) people think a certain way.

Originally posted by kirksey957I don't think it is right to say that a state has been cursed with dumb peope based on one person's responce to a question. Thoght I agree she could have given a better one, however, she was under some stress trying to answer a question on stage with little time to think about it.
Doc, I believe it is South Carolina that has the confederate flag. God has also cursed them with dumb white people.

BTW, I WAS South Carolina, but the NAACP has changed that and was still not happy whith the outcome.
"On April 12, 2000, the South Carolina state senate finally passed a bill to remove the flag by a majority of 36-7. The bill specified that a more traditional version of the battle flag (square shaped as opposed to the rectangular flag now flying above the statehouse) would be flown in front of the Capitol next to a monument honoring fallen Confederate soldiers. The bill then went to the House, where it encountered some difficulty. But on May 18, 2000, after the bill was modified to ensure that the height of the flag's new pole would be 30 feet, it was passed by a majority of 66 to 43, and Governor Jim Hodges signed the bill five days later. On July 1, the flag was removed from the South Carolina statehouse.
The bill has not appeased everyone, however: the NAACP has not called off its boycott because they feel that the flag's new position on the Capitol lawn is still too prominent."
