Seriously though, can you picture me suggesting to the partners I work for that they should try to “hire more negro associates?” Or describing someone to a client: “you know the guy, maybe 6 feet tall, mid-30s, negro…”
No way. Just no way. With the greatest of respect for momma snappy.
“I once called a woman from Latvia”
I thought this was going to be the start of a limerick.
Snappy, have you ever seen that Chris Rock skit? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I11w-rl6iaY
“As long as he says ‘Negro, please!’ and NOT ‘N—a, please!’ he’ll be alright!”
So when I say that to a big black dude who then looks like he’s about to beat the crap out of me, can I say, “but Momma Snappy said it was ok!”?
lol snappy’s mom.

I once called a woman from Latvia
a Slovenian and she slugged me.
not because of the Slovenian part,
It was the “woman” part he didn’t like.
Lechacal…Momma Snappy’s comment to your 11:55:
“As long as he says ‘Negro, please!’ and NOT ‘N—a, please!’ he’ll be alright!”
ROFL
Momma Snappy is a hoot!
“I would rather be called an American Negro.”
Really?? Not sure how well that would go over if an invisible minority like me tried using that term in New York. This is getting confusing.
ROFL Lechacal!
