Alaska Congressman Don Young IS SORRY, OKAY ? He is sorry he said, "My father had a ranch; we used to have 50-60 wetbacks to pick tomatoes. It takes two people to pick the same tomatoes now. It’s all done by machine." When he was a young man, that was just how they did. (Note: we are pretty sure "wetbacks" was never
Which would take longer, Mr. Young? Apologizing to all the races that you've offended over your life, or thinking twice before opening your mouth-hole?
You know, I spent several minutes trying to recall what term Editrix could have been referring to, and now I remember. I imagine I used it when I was ten or twelve (which would have been twenty-five years before Rebecca did), but I had actually forgotten that particular usage. Actually, I imagine ten-year-olds are still using it today.
I like how our Editrix just assumes she will make it past the Death Panels™ to even end up in an assisted living home for senescent parents of ungrateful shitheads.
Unless Snipy and Dok have been lying to us, she is not rich.
Um, yeah, the linked article doesn't contain an apology either. "I meant no disrespect" doesn't quite fill the bill.
When I was growing up in upstate New York, we called Alaskan-Americans "Motherfucking Racists". Affectionately, out of respect. But sometimes I forget times have changed and still use that term about Don Young.
Clearly Rep. Young is the victim here, as everyone is now trampling his First Amendment (free speech, freedom, 'Murca) right to be racist dipshit.
I'm almost 40, from the OC, and I have no idea what this is and it's driving me crazy! I guess being the only black kid most of the time, it was not used around me. Dammit, cool white friends, for sparing my ears!
I fucking LOVED that game! it built character, unless you were the slowest kid in the pack that is. I'm not sure how to teach it to the next generation without the whole prejudice thing. Smack the xxxx ? Smear the near? Nah, that won't work Nuke the puke? Destroy the boy with the spheroid?
I bet Commie Mom did some serious edumacatin' when she heard that comment about lips on the Coke bottle. We say all kinds of stupid and regretful things when we're young. When you're Don Young it apparently never stops.
...considering Sarah Palin the Moose Queen of the Alaskan Yukon's, strong feelings against the use of derogatory terms like "Igloo" and "Eskimo" I know she will be leading the charge against this racist assclown!
Yeah, stick you what you guys know best: Rape.

All for $2/hour! Ask me how he lives on that.
Go ahead and ask me.
Because Jesus Saves!

I think the preferred term these days is "Teabagger"

so you called them coke suckers?
(as to the actual slur in question, I also remember it being used as a verb, for those who tended to slobber on said doobage)

It's ok - he don't like them darkies neither.
