What they call him?

just a word huh?

Has no consequences?

Never used to demean?

IF you never face one tenth the consequences for saying it as most do for being it , you might want to shut the fuck up?

Just to make sure my comment is not misinterpreted, thanx for the link to that article, BA. I had never heard of this incident before. It's sickening, but not surprising. I remember, years ago, being invited to an outdoor party in upstate NY, and found myself the only Black person there. I left before anything could even remotely take place, cause, ya know, if anyone had said something, I woulda started shit and it wouldn't have been pretty.

Keep up the good work, BA.

Colt, the defense’s only witness, took the stand and testified on his own behalf. “I want everybody to know the truth,” the clean-cut young man told the jury, which was made up of ten whites and two blacks. Colt’s attorney, Corky Stovall, began by guiding him through a show-and-tell of photos that pictured him smiling beside black teammates and acquaintances

OMG, the straight panic defense was ridiculous enough but the "black people love us" defense? What is this bullshit?
