How Low Can You Go?

Stanley Crouch reveals the contemptible effort by Daman Wayans to copyright "the n-word," using "iggas" instead of "iggers."

I share his disgust at this maneuver, and at the lyrics of most of rap music, in general.

"How Low Can You Go?"

Well, you could sell off management rights to US international shipping ports to a foreign country over the security objections of the United States Coast Guard.

Hope that rzafft's comment was made sincerely. Would have preferred “naïve” to “ignorant” though even that term has difficulties.

On the third hand, I don’t get Mr. Twister’s comment except as a stick in the eye at the administration.


Keep going...

Scooter, Rzafft is the person who chose to open the New Year with "Many in the 'mainstream black leadership' have become overseers on the social-welfare plantation."

Rzafft is the beacon of racial enlightenment on Carol's blog.

That's just about right.

Well, couldn't post a comment on the next post "Needing Some Perspective", so I'll just Non Sequiter here just as our friend Mr. Twister did. Oh, and what happened to Duke-Stir? Hopefully he's busy posting "n" words over at Daily Kooky Obnoxious Sociopaths.

Yes, there is plenty that I've disagreed with Bush on, and I believe that's why his approval rating is low. I wouldn't read too much into those polls though. Because the poll that matters is would you have rather had John Kerry in the WH? What situations would we be in now...thankfully, we'll never know the answer.

And to clarify, less we all be ignorant Jane Curtains, the Administration didn't try to sell off our ports to DPW, the sell off was P&O selling to DPW, we just had to approve it. And it looks like it's not going to happen, and the majority of Americans gut feel on that one is good. Bush was wrong on that, and where he fails the most is in communicating clearly where he's coming from, and elaborating on issues.

I suppose you're right in connection with the Douglass quote and your reverse statement.

I just meant that Mr. Wayans doesn't strike me generally unaware or uninformed, though he certainly may be.

He could just be cynical.
