[High Praise! to Tongue Tied]
True story. Someone got in trouble for including a day of the week while discussing a black man.
Why?
The word can be used as a derogatory term for blacks, and is often associated with Mondays being one of the most-hated days of the week, such as in the common phrase, “I hate Mondays.”
No, no, no – it’s a dog-whistle word for get lunatics to commit mass shootings. Don’t these people know their Boomtown Rats?
Man, I thought I knew my Boomtown Rats very well indeed – was even sing-along-level familiar with the song prior to the original Live Aid (not that that’s such a stretch, I admit). BUT, unless I’m way off, wasn’t the woman in the case which inspired the song, uhm, “white”? Or at least 31/32 white?
This makes the whole “Tell me why I don’t like Mondays” issue SO much more confusing. I mean, it sure gives one a whole different view of Geldof if the answer to that question is “Because you’re a RACIST!!!” rather than “Because the silicone chip inside your head’s been switched to overload.”
Someone should inform them that racism has to involve race! Hm. Monday. Moonday. Mooning. Showing your naked butt in public. Black people have big butts. Ok, I can see the connection.
“Mazzarella said today that whether Monday qualifies as a racial epithet was not an issue for investigators. What was relevant to them, he said, was the fact that Crawford believed it to be a racial slur.”
Time to update the IMAO moderation filter list!
We need to get rid of the derogatory word “the”. You know like in the term “the” president, “the” black community, “the” same sex marriage debate. “The” precedes all sorts of racist, homophobic, anti-diversity, hate-filled phrases. It needs to be stricken from _ language. Image how wonderful _ world would be without __ __ word. See, it’s better already.
Sean, rather than eliminate words from ___ language, perhaps we can get legislation passed to ship idiots who think every other word in ___ language is a “dogwhistle” “codeword” to Antarctica. Build them a compound right next to the compounds for ___ EPA and ___ ACLU. Of course, with all that WHITE snow and ice down there, they might think it a racist punishment of some sort, surrounding them with WHITE.
famous racists:
rick monday
the mammas and the poppas
most racist song ever:
monday, monday
“…Monday, Monday, can’t trust that day…”
There ya go…those old Hippie musicians were raaaaaaaaaaaacist! Pffffft! “Brotherly love” indeed!
(goes off whistling that decidedly non-racist tune “Jimmy Crack Corn, An’ I Don’ Care”)
oops, i almost forgot
those racist bangles and “manic monday” must mean blacks are all crazy
Usually people hate Mondays because they’re the start of the work week. Why would blacks care about that?
