Here's a new one. I heard someone refer to OJ's past jury as "a bunch of the N words".

I was out in Arcadia, FL (such a lovely, little redneck community) when I heard it. Someone told me a few years ago that they like to go "coon hunting" out there. Racism in Florida is hidden in plain site and it is frightening.

1. How vile

Bigotry makes me want to :puke:.

2. That's what Repthuglican rule has led to .....these racist feel

they don't have to hide anymore.

3. That is not something new. It may be the first time you have heard of it - but new - no way!

Bigotry is alive and well :(

4. Well, I never heard it put quite that way: N-words.

Like they know it wrong to use the word, so they found a polite way to use it in public.

5. Coon hunting is just racoon hunting unless its followed by a wink,

and they do it nh too. ;)

6. And led by a pick up truck with rifles, torches and ropes.

Seriously.

7. Is that what your friend saw?

8. He stopped at a convenient store to ask directions (dumb idea)

and a bunch of guys came in to buy beer and butts. They claimed they were doing some "coon hunting" and were slapping eachother on the backs snickering, etc.
When my friend left to get into his car, the guys truck was sitting there filled with rifles and some rope in the rear.
