Shouldn't States Rights bring us together?

I don't think of slaves when I think of shuckin' and jivin'. I think of liberals explaining their economic theories. Or explaining how the stimulus worked. It's not a racist slang at all anymore unless somebody uses it that way. Anything CAN be racist, despite arguments otherwise, not every thing IS racist.

you're welcome to live in your own little world.

out here in the rest of the world communally shared by the rest of us, words have meanings. and shuckin' and jivin' has a very racial meaning.

furthermore, those of us not with our heads more than 3/4 of the way up our asses all acknowledge it.

Everything's racist to you though which is sweet irony considering how you talk about the "poor negro" and how "they" need help. Or how you equate 2% of a regional population to the other 98%.

If I lived in your world I'd be a miserable liberal elitist racist too and I feel pretty good about where I am in life. So I'll stay in mine. You are welcome to join mine but you'll have to pull your weight and stop stealing.

And when we get to cultural groups that make up their own accent, and lingo to hide and racially or Religiously congregate against WE, that's what I hate.

The kid at MacDonalds that only wants to jive, won't make it.

20 years from now when the political correct crowd gives way to the new noise (anyone remember the moral majority?), people will laugh at people who got upset over a word instead of the meaning. We'll be able to say words like secretary, security guard, housewife and janitor again without hurting feelings.

Sorry Buck, but you are part of a phase our country is going through that is just as damaging as the moral majority crowd. It too will pass.
