Thread Name: BS: Racial No-nos
Subject: RE: BS: Racial No-nos
Peace says, "Let me reverse it: "As I am defining it here, a "racial no no" is something that a Black person says or does that is likely to cause trouble for him or her with non-Black Americans and/or other people who are concerned about racial political correctness."

Saying something that cause trouble with people who were concerned about "racial political correctness" what got Emett Till killed and dumped in the river, Peace--as in "A black boy don't talk like that to a white woman and live to tell about it"and it still happens today.

This "Pick a Bale of Cotton" rage is just bottled up anger, from that and about a million other things just as bad that you never heard about. The anger isn't wrong, but venting it on any white person that looks at you crosseyed doesn't get anyone anywhere.
