REGURGITATIONS

Dr. Laura let the world know what every white person in America already knew. Like Lays potato chips, when it comes to the n-word you can't have just one. When the tape was played for Jesse Jackson he took a step back and shrieked "Nigga....please!" Dr. Laura wants to know why white people can't say the word "nigger". Here's why - CAUSE WE HAVE BEEN SAYING IT FOR 4OO YEARS! White people INVENTED the word. Now we want it back! Cause we are pissed that black people took a word created to intimidate and belittle and made it cool and hip. You don't see us whites whining to use the Spanish word "vato". It's not our word and we didn't invent it to dehumanize Mexicans. At this time in history the word "vato" has no value to white Americans, much like the peso. But give us time......this could change. We, white America, are pissed because black people took our lemon and made lemonade. Some of my ignorant and/or racist fell...

Ralph St. Peter of Harbor, FL was attacked by a gang of 500 killer bees and SURVIVED! Clearly, as evidenced by his survival, these were not KILLER bees. Most likely Mr. Peter was attacked by the lesser known ASSAULT and BATTERY bees, a much less lethal cousin to the killer bee. The Killer Bee can be distinguished from it's less violent cousin by the small teardrop tattoo under it's left eye. I was also disturbed by the racial undertones of the news story. Once the killer bees had been described as a gang it was merely seconds before they were labeled AFRICANIZED. What is lost in the story is the post traumatic stress disorder suffered by the bees who will now have to return to the hive after failing to accomplish their mission. Much like the kamikaze pilots of World War II who returned to mainland Japan, these bees will bring much shame to their family and queen. They will not be greeted with affection when they return to the hive and mumble "Honey, I'm home". Th...

I happened across NBA.com's Steve Aschburner's article of 07/30/10 on the suicide of Melvin Turpin tilted "Only now, after a long battle, does Turpin find sympathy". It seems Mr. Aschburner believes some of us may owe Melvin Turpin an apology for the ridicule he received as a college and NBA player for the weight problem he struggled with throughout his basketball career. I am offended by this notion. Melvin Turpin was drafted sixth overall in 1984, only a few spots behind Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley. Melvin Turpin lasted five seasons (three teams) in the NBA before wearing out his welcome and second chances in 1990. During this time Mr. Aschburner's states Turpin was laughed at, ridiculed, hollered at, benched, fined and waived by executives, coaches, and fans. The lesson learned here is not that we, the fans, executives, or coaches, should have acted differently but that Turpin refused to learn from his poor decisions. These consequences are a result o...
