I see this as a tragedy (not the nigga, nigger thing), the one time that I black woman is THE most powerful person in the world, she has to be talking to a dumbass. (She just happens to be misguided and a house nigger. But I feel that's an aside.) We all as black women are some where in corporate America at the water cooler or around the espresso machine laughing, cause not only did they let one in, that gives the rest of us hope that it CAN happen again. . . and maybe this time they will get it right. This is the number one reason we keep coming back to this triflin' job. Feel the Geroge Forman thing. You know I think your like Chris Matthews only Black and right . .. and since he took your TV show's name your going to have to think of a new one!!

Interesting POV...it is hard to get mad at someone who states the obvious. Maybe I'd have a different reaction if he'd said it directly versus indirectly in a comic strip. But he didn't, so I don't. I'll check out more of your work...be easy. Hey Bomani…Julian from FAMU’s HCASC team…I got here via Killa…good to see that you are doing well.

Thanks for having good music taste unlike the rest of these pseudo-Roots fans who thought Phrenology was the jump-off. I completely agree that the Roots new CD is beyond wonderful.

Plus, beyond the Honda thing I found out we have some mutual friends. You are doing truly big things man! Okay on to the entry itself. I have to agree with you as it pertains both to Ted Rall's use of that term as well the conflict in using the n-word itself. I am pretty prolific in using the word nigga myself, but I'm also wary of people outside the race getting comfortable with it. I think you expressed most of my sentiments on the issue pretty accurately. I'm adding a link to you on my site and look forward to reading more of your work. Keep up the good work.
