The woman is digging for money. Compensation? FOR WHAT? Over a mistranslation? They apologized and she is "traumatized"? People need to get over themselves, seriously, it's 20-fkn-07.

People are always trying to find other people to blame nowadays. I'd inform the store of error, but see no need for further use. Hell, if my son went "What does nigger brown mean?", I'd laugh at him and say "Tell you when you are older", and leave it at that.

I actually heard this story after it happened. She was so upset about the couch that she didn't even notice it until her young child said something, and clearly it's better to deal with socio-political issues in the only way you can get your opinion heard nowadays, sue whoever you can for whatever you can concerning whatever issue you decide to blow completely out of proportion.

In a related story, I shall be lobbying Congress this week in hopes of changing the Saltines box because I am ghastly offended by the word "cracker."

Of course, this girl is just a nappy-headed ho anyways.

I just don't know what to say. Too afraid to check link. I will not forget this safer. Don't expect your platinum car to be in the car lot when you leave work.

Exactly, there's a pretty vivid line between what isn't socially acceptable and taking something just a bit too far. This didn't have to become a social issue, but now I'm sure that Al Sharpton will be there trying to take advantage/credit for any social implications that arise from this.

Back to my story: apparently cracker isn't a racist word, as I've ascertained from a number of black friends. We also would have accepted honkey and milky. When I asked why nigger was racist and cracker was not, I was told it was because I enslaved thousands of his ancestors. That's right folks, you heard it here first, I'm 175 years old.

You know what's funny about that? Blacks enslaved blacks in Africa.

And yea, it's not cool saying the C, H, or now M word. The M one is new to me. I still fume when pale say N so much. He's so white. Trash rappers too, none of the old school hip hop songs had that crap in it. Now rap is all crappy, little meaning behind most of them other than hoes, bling, gangs, and weed.

I didn't follow this thread at all, and just wanted to find a spot to post that picture I just found lol. Also since there seem to be a race topic going on, everyone should watch Freedome Writers. Awesome movie I think.
