Cuco: A fraternity at the University of Oklahoma was caught on video singing a super racist song that also included a lynching reference. Eddie: Didn't they disband the frat? Cuco: Yes, but they'll land on their feet. Soon they'll be freshman GOP congressmen.
Last week I heard the “N-word” 1916 times…. At my job, and no, the radio wasn’t on. It was out of the mouths of the elementary through high school students as I get to overhear their conversations during lunch. I’ve been keeping count, yes.It’s up to parents to be a bigger influence on their kids than the loser rappers they idolize.When I went to school, it was a very bad word to use, it was used on the black students as well as myself. I got to get called names like “sand N-word” and other hurtful names.It is very hard to hear that word despite its alarming frequency, which only seems to be increasing.I hear it out of the mouths of children of all colors, but I hear it the most from the mouths of the girls.Which causes me the most dismay, Mothers, you should be ashamed for letting your little girls talk like street trash.There’s a whole industry geared to setting back all the progress that MLK lost his life for. Suddenly all men are pimps or gangsters and the girls are bitches or ho’s. The continued glorifying of this gutter culture, is only making our kids dumber and more racist.
