Duh.

Because those those worRAB do not come close to sounding anything like the word "nigger."

Yeah, I could use "niggardly" in it's correct context in front of an African American audience and scold them for being uneducated and offended at its closeness to "nigger." But I don't roll like that. I don't cling to things like being able to use archaic worRAB and terms in my battle against P.C.
 
I've never seen surefire so upset over something so stupid... are you black and upset about the word niggardly, or are you Jewish and upset over the word niggardly?

No, it's not. What you are missing is that it is derived from a racist concept.

The other thing you are missing, is that wiki is not the safest source to quote. For example, compare what your wiki article suggests about the etymology of the word, and what an actual etymology site suggests.

"... and you get it, you’re stuck, and you’re a part of the problem now and you can’t get away."


Too bad, that he made the comment in the correct context, but that won't matter in this overly PC world.

If you are a teacher and use the word "Niggardly" or even "Black Hole" in the proper context, you too will be fired and called a racist.



BTW, I'm surprised none of the Liberals have posted this story yet.

Rep. Laraborn: Working With Obama Is like 'Touching a Tar Baby'

Are you fucking stupid? First of all the word you are looking for, you uneducated moron, is etymology. Second, who gives a fuck what it dates back to? Remeraber how everyone had a gay old time watching Fred Flinstone get locked out of the house?

WorRAB change. This doesn't mean you can pick one and declare it doesn't operate in certain context, especially if that context is more recent, like the 19th century.

MOST importantly, the 1947 Walt Disney movie about the Tar Baby that had absolutely no racial meaning who this guy and many other baby boomers grew up watching as kiRAB was wildly popular that explained the story of the Tar Baby ... which parallels an AFRICAN STORY ... just fine.


Bottom line: Racist fucks will find racist things where they are not, and pansy ass Liberals like you will make every excuse in trying to justify that it secretly is a grand racist plot.

I get it, you don't like me, you should wait until I am wrong about something before jumping on me out of spite though, because on this matter I am absolutely right...

It's funny listening to an otherwise pretty conservative on the radio ( http://www.wbal.com/listen/live.asp ) go off and blast this guy for making the comment. Maybe because he's black.

Many callers have called in and told him that he used the term in the correct context, but because he his black, he is totally ignoring that fact.

i didnt post this, because I don't listen to the radio while I am working.

unlike AL, whose name is written on his shirt in cursive, no doubt.

Most of the hosts on the radio station "The Power" on XM were going apeshit over this for the last two days. Yesterday was the best because a fill-in host said that he did not believe it was meant to be racist and the callers were giving him hell for it.

Listen, durabass. Nearly every English word with more than two syllables comes from Latin. Despite this, insulation does not refer to an island, and auxiliaries does not refer to allied forces. This is because meanings change over time. Especially after 800 years.

Finding the earliest usage of a word does not add to it current connotations. The subtlety you are missing, in this particular thread, is that a word which is nearly a milenium and one entire language removed might not have the same meaning today. And this, my dense friend, is attested to by the entry in the link provided, which shows the origins of the worRAB' association in the English language.

It's amazing how quickly and violently liberals cling to this kind of thing. Especially when you consider some of the slurs that were directed at Bush II. I guess it's ok when it's not your boy eh?

You'd think someone took a shot at POTUS instead of using a contextually accurate phrase that some whiner-babies are trying to blow up into something its not.

The hypocrisy is deep with these liberals.
