Or when you think "hillbilly," is that your offensive slur for the tacobende...er, Mexican merchants that bring it up from Mexico...? Sheesh, R |

As for "hillbilly" being an offensive slur, it's not. Not to me anyway. I can use it in polite society and on Usenet and almost no one would considered it crude or racist or vulgar. Is that a double standard ? Perhaps. The goddamn guilty white liberals are so terribly unfair to racist rednecks it ought to be a crime !! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA !! So, you look down upon rural whites and use derogatory racially-based terms - you know, racial slurs - about them because you imagine they might look down upon others because you perceive they use derogatory, racially-based terms...which naturally in your mind they would do, because, hey, that's what THOSE people do... On top of which, you feel some need to defend those you perceive as being "slurred"...as long as they are of a race that you perceive as requiring your defending them...you know, sort of like a parent would do for their helpless child...or a big, strong man would do for his baby-mam...er, woman... Sheesh, R |

heck, i almost forgot about the crazy aunt...another illegal
alien...just like our new president.... ------------------snip----------------------------------- WASHINGTON (AP) - The Homeland Security Department still is requiring high-level approval before federal immigration agents can arrest fugitives, a rule quietly imposed by the Bush administration days before the election of Barack Obama, whose aunt has been living in the United States illegally. The unusual directive from the Homeland Security Department came amid concerns that such arrests might generate "negative media or congressional interest," according to a newly disclosed federal document obtained by The Associated Press. The directive makes clear that U.S. officials worried about possible election implications of arresting Zeituni Onyango, the half-sister of Obama's late father, who at the time was living in public housing in Boston. She is now believed to be living in Cleveland. A copy of the directive, "Fugitive Case File Vetting Prior to Arrest," was released to the AP just over two months after it was requested under the Freedom of Information Act. It does not mention President Obama or any members of his extended family |

"Ken Fortenberry" wrote in message ... Well there's the issue, I don't consider "hillbilly" to be an offensive racial slur nor would I consider someone uttering it to be using racist language. and there, Ken, is the problem. Folks in Appalachia consider the term derogatory(I know this for a fact), at least some of them. All you seem to REALLY care about is what offends Ken. And that is truly pathetic. TOm |

I'm sorry to keep piggy backing on your posts, because i don't mean to necessarily direct this to you personally; but since you brought it up... I certainly agree (and I'm willing to bet Ken does too) that "hillbilly" can be and often is intended or received as an insult. In either case, I've never seen the insult intended as racial. We city slickers coined the phrase as an insult to the intelligence or sophistication of our rural brethren, not because of their race. You are not wrong to point out its insulting nature, but Ken is also correct in not considering it a racial slur, IMHO of course. Joe F. |

Of course I speak up when I encounter racial slurs which are offensive to me. What should I do, take a poll ? I don't consider "hillbilly" to be an offensive racial slur, if you do you should speak up. I'll ignore you, of course, and think you're silly but that's what happens sometimes when you speak up. -- Ken Fortenberry |
