I don't agree Smokepole. But I hope that your right.
Here in the North East you never hear that adjective used. It would seem low class or insulting to a negro to use it.
Thus if your not from the NE you may not understand.
You misunderstood my post. I'm not defending the use of the term, and I fully comprehend that it's offensive. But as far as I understand it 1) it wasn't Perry's property and no one so far knows who wrote the term there; and 2) Perry's dad painted over it almost 30 years ago.
Maybe I'm missing something, but if those two things are true, it's much ado about nothing.
