Thread Name: appeasement
Subject: RE: appeasement
Well, hey, 'bout 90% of guys in the South and MidWest could just be called "ball-caps"... I think if a few folks of Isalmic faith were to do this, it would piss off about 90% of 90%...

It depersonalizes people...

It is equivalent to the many terms that we Americans find distastefull...

"What, can't you friggin' camel jockeys take a joke?" (spit)

"No, Bubba ball-cap. Can you?"

If this thread was jokingly calling black folks niggars then maybe some folks wouldn't be so quick to make a joke out of it...

Like I said, classless and tasteless...
