Kinky's Latest Racist Slur: Ni**er Eggs | 22 comments | Post A Comment
What worries you most... (0.00 / 0)
Amazing how much coverage you are giving to the "racist" candidate for governor.  Bell must be very worried about Kinky. Or looking for someone to blame for his loss.  Last time it was because he was the wrong color. This time it will be because he's the right color but he's not racist and Texans are racist? 

And comments from 26 years ago - at least he's learned to use the word Negro instead of nigger.

Which is something the African-American community has not learned judging from their music.

Sort of hypocritical for African-Americans to object to the word nigger when they don't object to the word nigger in their music.

If you don't think the word Negro is acceptable, I suggest you suggest they change the name of United Negro College Fund. Political correctness begins at home as they say.

But do keep posting this drivel because it will get Kinky elected by all the real racists in Texas.

I don't care who said it...
I don't care if it was my neighbor, my friend, or my brother -- I would be just as offended by the remarks. Like it or not, Kinky's remarks are racist and offensive -- maybe not to you, but to many.

If I wrote a music blog, I'd be writing about rap lyrics. If I wrote an entertainment blog, I'd be writing about movies and comedy shows. But I'm not -- I write on a political blog, and I'm covering the full truth about someone asking to be Governor of Texas.

Now, a very great man once said that some people rob you with a fountain pen.

Humor?
Since you only played a select snippet from what Friedman said, it's impossible to understand the context of the remarks.  Sounds to me like he was making fun of the racists in Houston who would throw a bowling ball into the sea for that reason. I'm voting for Chris Bell, but, really, aren't Kinky's stupid positions reason enough to vote against him.  We don't need to manufacture outrage to beat this very funny, very entertaining, horribly informed mystery writer and musician.  Why the hell not?  Because he's an idiot.  A racist?  I don't think so.

Ah yes, "their" music
Fits right in with the way "your" candidate speaks.

So let me ask you something... do you think the word 'negro' is acceptable?  Would you walk in to a predominantly African-American community and say "Negro" or the more offensive n-word?  Don't think Kinky's man enough to do that.

Kinky's a little bitch.  Get over it.  You're backing the wrong horse and any amount of 'context' argument you want to push back with is a losing argument.

If you're explaining you're losing.  A very wise man says that.

Let me get this straight
First you claimed to be so in tuned with African Americans and why you believe "they" hate Chris Bell so much and for all intents and purposes, called Chris a racist. Now you are using very descriptive language to seperate yourself from "them" and freely using the "N" word in your post.

Just an observation.
