Black Holes and Men At Work

Interesting. I'll start using it daily with our black employees.

One of the worst things about being black in 2008 has to be the idea that white people are afraid to use certain words around you because they think you're too stupid to understand what they mean and will be offended.

 

That's pretty much the main thing that "I'm too retarded to understand what 'Black Hole' means and I am offended" Guy is achieving. And, ironically, he is too stupid to understand that.

No doubt they will call you a cracker, a term from Middle English believed to originally refer to entertaining conversationalists.

Oh Sweet Jesus!

If I knew it was going to turn out this way, I'd have picked the damn cotton myself!

The scheduling of a picnic to honor baseball Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson led to a furor over alleged racism at the State University of New York, Albany. Some 40 students at the university insisted that the word "picnic" originally referred to the lynchings of blacks.

 

They were wrong. "Picnic" comes from a 17th-century French word for a social gathering in which each person brings a different food. But in reply to the 40 protesters, campus affirmative action director Zaheer Mustafa put out a memo asking all student leaders to refrain from any use of the word "picnic." "Whether the claims are true or not, the point is the word offended," he said.

 

In publicity for the event honoring Jackie Robinson, the word "picnic" was changed to "outing." This offended gay students, so the event formerly known as a picnic was publicized without a noun describing what was going on. "Every day we come up with a new word we can't use," said exasperated student editor Richard Ryback

Just keep them away from "Happening" man, acid flashbacks ya-know.

[X. Benedict]

Just another politician willing to play the quantum gravity card.

 

What else is new?

[John Adams]

Is there some passable etymology for "jew"ing someone?

[Wacka]

I'm going to be niggardly by having a picnic with only oreos for a meal.
