Subject: RE: BS: Racial No-nos
I was looking for a reply to my minor post and came across the ....."catch a Tiger by its' toe" mention.
Azizi, why would you even think about the possibility of calling it to the attention of the young people? They have obviously become accusomed to the "Tiger" terminology which could be attributed to their Parents/Grandparents outgrowing the use of the "other" due to education, enlightement and just plain proper behavior.I think most have come a long, long way and hope everyone else, regardless of color, is able to do the same thing.
The major problem here in the Midwest where I am most familiar is Black on Black crime with racial slurs basically unheard of.
