[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 886379, member: 56140"] I agree with Richard L on this. Though, I have to bring the following example down one bit... Lets get rid of the N-Word you used and use the word "Colored". Make a team called the "Cleveland Coloreds". Think the NAACP would get involved? You bet!!! Even though the term "colored" for an individual that is black is not technically racist and those that use it are not saying it as a racist term, the description is still racist. I was picking up some temp employees at the guard shack some years back while working a boiler outage at a paper mill. One of the temps was a black kid. After I signed them in and went to leave, the guard said to me, "Don't forget about the colored fellow". I thought nothing of it, but the guy threw a fit. Of course, I am white so I just don't get offended if I get called a honkey, cracker, whitie, or anything else. Maybe because that is because I am white and was never considered a lower class of citizan. Tom [/QUOTE]
