Always wanted to do a cover of "Johnny, Are You Queer?"

Melissa Etheridge's comeback single: "Hello Lucille, Are You a Lesbian?"

Dude's wearing like 10 necklaces. 90% of all necklaces are god-related. Odds are, one of his necklaces is gonna be someone's god.

jesus christ idiot prop people, stop selecting necklaces at random without checking whether they say the name of a currently-worshipped god

Not sure how long the comeback has been in effect, but hi-top fades were noticeably more common this year in Twin Cities secondary schools.

Windbag blows wind.

is the word "denigrate" racist

http://www.nytimes.com/1990/01/28/magazine/on-language-dark-words-of-disapproval.html

The etymology of the word denigrate was promptly called to my attention by a media colleague, who wondered whether the Mayor was unwittingly using a term that illustrates how racism is buried in the language.

Niger is Latin for ''black''; denigrationem is Late Latin for ''a blackening.'' The de- does not mean ''the opposite or reverse of,'' as de- so often does; in this case, as in denude and declaim, it means ''completely''; thus, denigrate is rooted in ''to blacken completely.'' The term was picked up as a verb in Old French meaning ''to blacken'' and transferred to English in the 16th century in the sense of ''darken a good name,'' or ''defame.''

Historically, black and dark have signified ''bad'' (Satan was called the Prince of Darkness long before the self-styled meanie, Robert Novak, was born), and white and light have meant ''good'' (none but the brave deserve the fair, meaning ''light-colored'').

whoa

white/black, right/left go way back

was talking about the phrase "that's awful white of you" which along with "jew you down on the price" i heard somewhat regularly as a kid and have blessedly NOT heard this decade

Both of those are things I never, ever heard until years after I read about their existence (if I even have to this day??). People, man. They're terrible.

the guy i bought my first car from, with my dad negotiating, promised us he wasn't gonna jew us on this
we, as jews, kept our mouths shut and got the car cheap.
a grand for a 78 chevy nova. black with silver finish. loved that car. that always spoiled my memory of the moment tho'

When I took my driver's license exam for the second time (after failing a week earlier and feeling humiliated about it), the old guy giving me the test said "thank God, a white person who speaks English - I'm going to pass you just for that." So the victory of passing felt pretty shitty.

Passing complexion

lol

wtf
