I am sickened by the faction of internet tough guys in St. Louis who steadfastly proclaim "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" was a "total lie aimed at making cops look bad". There's no reasoning with these modern day KKK grand wizards, but damn if there aren't too many of them.

I don't use the word, never did. Long time ago we always said colored people and I could not understood why "black" is preferred.

But, you figure, lots of whites are not white, and lots of blacks are not black.

Technically his use ends in -ah, and indicates brotherhood.

I hate the n-word when it's used hatefully. Makes me violent. Thanks to Ms. Klimko in eight grade social studies for showing us slides of lynchings and burnings. It made me understand the truth, and helped me avoid the soft racism of my family.

Racism belongs under the rock, if not six feet under. It's Anti-American.

"Why do they call people black and white when they're brown and pink?"

Out of the mouths of babes.
