We think we all know that this nice old Kansas fella cannot be a racist, because of how he has black friends. But maybe he can accidentally be a racist when he says "nigger-rigged" during a meeting of the county commission he sits on, and then when folks were like "asphinctersayswhat?" he clarified that he was talking about "Afro-Americanizing" it instead. (Sadly, when it comes to Afro-Americans, we have determined that we no longer get to COMMAND that black women wear their hair just as we would want them to, in a kickass regal sexy and did we mention kickass afro, because we have learned that they are really motherfucking hard to maintain, and as queen of the world we would never mandate a hairstyle that took work.) Oh, right, then he said SOME MORE STUFF. By accident.
Another vote for no, that's not too old to know better.

I would guess that they put this in the "who cares" category. And the answer to that is that "who cares" are the people who are being referred to.
You might ask them if they think it's okay to intentionally mispronounce the names of people who have non-standard-English spellings. ("Boner" vs "Bayner" does spring to mind here, but I'm thinking more of, e.g., "Sinead").
My personal theory is that you pronounce peoples' names the way they want them pronounced. If your folks can accept that, then they should be able to accept that you use collective terms that are broadly acceptable to the folks being referred to.
So, I'm probably a contrarian here, but about 50% of those things are, yes, really stupid; but the other 50% are ugly, but perfectly reasonable, "jury-rigging". The folks who run that site are a wee bit supercilious, in my opinion.
Or, perhaps, I'm white trash. Could be. I'm white, for sure.

If you&#039;re guided by your Christian principles - as you&#039;ve always seem them demonstrated by your family and everyone around you - why, you can&#039;t go wrong. Emotions and &quot;old [racial] grudges&quot; that are at odds with your steadfast righteous behavior are signs of the other peoples&#039; sins... usually pride.
Chemically it is TiO2.
PS: Google Fiber showed up today in ATX along with my goat fucking Governor. Yeah me.

There&#039;s a Twitter in the datapile? Who the fuck has a woodpile anymore?
Oh, wait, I do.

tommy, this gentleman is between you and me in age. A modest attitude adjustment would suffice.
Probably I will have to say this on every comment thread of 2013.
I believe that Paisley&#039;s intentions were good, but this is an awful, awful song that should never have been made public.
Just say &quot;non&quot;.

That there Afropolis didn&#039;t build itself.
I always felt bad for how it looked after the bombs fell in &#039;83. Jason Robards looked so haggard.
