Quote:
Thought about this thread this morning when I read a letter to the editor, printed in the local North Carolina paper. The writer was decrying the overt racism in the use of "Buck Naked" in Duluth's advertising. He then went into great detail about the slave trade and how that term was used. Would have been funny if he wasn't so serious about boycotting the company.
Get a life, huh?
The writer is channeling his own perceived stereotype of racism, the origins of the word aren't American and have nothing to do with slavery.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
