Nagger
June 17th, 2005 at 2:02 pm by Preston Taylor HolmesI was driving West on Kingston Pike yesterday heading out to Farragut, when I noticed the license plate on one of the cars in front of me.
It was a personalized plate on a white 4-door sedan which read “NAGGER”.
I had to do a double-take to make sure it didn’t say what I thought it said, which, in retrospect, would have been absurd on at least two fronts. First, such a personalized plate would have never made it past the censors and second, the middle-aged woman driving the car was definitely a cracker-ass cracker.
Just the same, the plate still made me feel icky for some reason. I have to assume that it is a joke – perhaps meant to express the driver’s tendency towards excessive nagging. Which is kind of understood if you think about it: middle-aged woman – probably someone’s wife or mother or both – for either one, nagging skills are a job pre-requisite.
Am I insane for reacting this way to such a license plate? Caveat: I realize I’m generally insane, but I’m talking about in this specific instance.
Related: Ralph Nader loves using the other N-word – and of course Al Sharpton gives him a pass because he’s been such a good soldier – despite the fact that Ralph caused Al Gore to lose the 2000 election.
SEMI-RELATED: Sweden’s biggest Ice Cream maker, GB Glace, recently unveiled “Nogger Black” Ice Cream, which uses a hip-hop-culture-style logo for marketing, which GB Glace says “has nothing to do with hip-hop culture.” Those crazy Swedes. Even worse, it’s liquorice-flavored. Bleah.

Sheeeesh. I knew that was going to get me in trouble.
Wait a second. You can’t say fellatio here!

WHAT DID YOU CALL ME? Oh wait, sorry, just read it again and realized you were not being insensitive.
And….”Father’s Day fellatio”… you are the woman MPTH!!

I believe that is now out of the question, OFD. I also believe I have now lost any female readers I may have had up to now.
That’s what I get for trying to be funny.

I think you blew it, Preston. Or rather you aren’t going to get it blown. Oh, hell, never mind, just leave me out of the whole thing.

“Father’s Day fellatio.” Makes me wish we’d had kids…

Preston, Don’t be niggardly with your vocabulary.
BTW, spunky lil lady you have there!

I knew someone would chime in with “niggardly”. And Gordo, you don’t know the half of it.

Froggy, I think it’s time for an intervention.

I’m surprised nobody has commented on Dairy Queen’s newest concoction, the Moo-latte. what makes it funnier is that they use light-skinned black people in the ad…
Oh how i wish there was more than the one DQ out here in the lovely SF Bay Area
