The kid that was removed from the LSU track and field team was using the word just like his mom. The only difference, the son was not sedated.... No need for insults here.
Old Barleycorn or real Barleycorn, you're still clueless.

If that’s where your mind goes, maybe you have some racism in you (not directed to HF, speaking generally). To claim “well I was angry” is definitely a bullshit excuse.
A lawyer I know whose about my age is black and married to a white woman. He recently recounted how he’s used the word regularly (he says it’s a result of his small town upbringing in the back woods of central Louisiana) and his kids who are preteens started using it as well. The wife went ballistic (he says he’s never in 14 years heard her use the word even when listening to rap music) after she was fed up, having told him on numerous occasions that she didn’t believe he should say it, regardless of his blackness. He stated that he finally got it. Realizing that no matter the situation, she has not done it and abhors it’s use. We should all hope to get to that point. Originally Posted by NoirMan

It is Louisiana. Racist deep South states like that probably wouldn't have many judges if people knew what they said behind closed doors without people listening.Which reminds me of a navy experience; We had a coon ass named Thibodeaux in the shop. He was talking one day and he dropped the N word a few times. Also in the shop was N****n, a young black man from DC, and H****n, an older black man from Mississippi. When Thibodeaux did his thing, everyone stopped talking and looked around apprehensively. It was H****n who broke the tension by laughing at loud. He pointed out to us how we all looked when we heard that word. Looking at N****n, I don't think he knew how to react but Herron was a few years older. I ended up dating H****n's niece when we both ended up in New London, but her family didn't like that.
I say just look at their history and see whether their judicial fiduciary decisions were biased against people of color. If so, fire their racist asses. If not, leave them be because that is just the fucked up world we live in.
I say look at their history because it is pretty easy to figure out that Tyrone and Hector always get sentenced one way. And Mikey skips out of court every time for doing the exact same shit as Tyrone and Hector although they all had the same court appointed attorneys. Originally Posted by Lucas McCain

Seems like I'm right about those northern sympathies.

1st of all, let's just say I know a guy who has a degree from there and we prefer to be called Penn or University of Pennsylvania and not Pennsylvania university because we take offense to people believing we went to Penn State. I'm just speaking for a friend.Salty, I told you this is why we don't like to be called Pennsylvania university. Ummmmm, I mean, my friend told me that is why. Getting into Wharton is a lot harder than getting into Penn State so he says. He's kind of an asshole so I just roll my eyes when he tells me this shit.Originally Posted by Lucas McCain
I'm sorry, they all look alike to me. I do have an unnamed former shipmate working at Penn State. He's gone completely lib. Originally Posted by the_real_BarleycornLOL. Trust me, Penn is too.
