Because white people want to use it and can't. Not because they like the word, but because they don't like that a black man can say something a white man can't.

Lady Gaga...of all singers. SMH

So the sailing races will be a :poop: show?

The owner. Of course, I'm kidding. But......

Then shoot them...

So Earth is Hitler? Great. Just great.

Leave it to BGP to remind me how dumb I am.

And they need to know all of this based on appearance alone.

I hate that I wasn't alive to go to Crosley. I would give anything to go back in time to see those fields. Crosley, Ebbets, Forbes, Baker Bowl, Griffith, Exposition, Polo Grounds, Shibe Park, Sportsmans Park...all of them. But especially, Crosley, Ebbets, Polo Grounds and Shibe Park.

How about this, if I'm dying and someone needs to call 911...send a paramedic and I won't get mixed up.

Great point

That's my point. And they wouldn't say those words because they don't know them.

Probably a few Jr Jr's in there instead of III.

Maybe it's because a lot of criminals having babies aren't too bright. Lee is a hell of a lot easier to spell than Daniel.

Ah. Guess I should read more thoroughly.

Or, they are just more common middle names. Do you have those statistics?

And they are named after General Lee. The car, not the Commander of the Confederate Army.

And I thought after I saw Dwayne Wayne (or Edge) playing a dad who is a spy, whose daughter is also a spy, on the Disney Channel (of all places) that we were past this. Apparently, not.

Come on, guys. She didn't randomly come up with the word without ever hearing it. Someone said it and it was not said in a positive light. If you want to say she screwed up and used the word by accident as she was on the spot, fine. To say she didn't know the meaning of the word or, at the very least, didn't know it had a negative connotation seems impossible to me. Like I said, can someone use that word in a positive manner in a sentence? Please, give an example.

Don't think for one second that Clyde "stumbled" across this story. He has a Google Alert set for all things Robert Van Winkle.

A word that has been used so much lately it has lost all meaning. Thugs aren't in college.

For those saying she didn't know it was offensive... She had to hear the word somewhere, right? I can't think of a scenario where the context surrounding the use of said word is anything but offensive. But that's just me. #whiteguy

My wife is home from work today. If the house isn't spotless and dinner isn't ready upon my arrival there will be hell to pay.

I expected that broadcast to be in black and white.
