I was surfing blogrolls when I happened upon a post about some Big Brother chick getting kicked off the show for saying “nigger”. Well, I was shocked that they had a Big Brother in England, but that’s not the point. There was some commentary about why it wasn’t that bad for this chick to use that word. It all made my head hurt, to be honest. I guess when someone doesn’t have to explain to their toddler what a nigger is and why the babysitter shouldn’t be calling her that they really don’t see the issue. I’m fine with that. Ha! Yeah right.
Anyway, I’m not going to go through all of that again because I covered it so well here. If you haven’t read it, go there now. Anyway, I felt compelled, as I often am with one of the issues close to my heart, to comment on this. But not so much as to go into a rant. That says a lot about the state of my rant button right now. Very sad.
In related news, I went to visit a blog that I used to frequent, but stopped when…well, nevermind. Not important. Anyway, for some reason I thought that this blogger was black. Mostly because he commented about his blackness a couple of times. Imagine my surprise to see a picture of him in all of his white glory. HA! Now that’s some strange shit right there.
By the way, I’m really a tall, hairy man. Oh, and I shave my head. I’m not short, fat and cute at all.
Where is my rant?
