Why "lynching" brings only one thing to mind is beyond me. A lynching is a mob killing without legal authority. If she's guilty of anything, it's of using an illustration that's ridiculously graphic and violent for the point she's trying to make, it has nothing to do with race.

It should be equally bad for her to say, "Well they'll have to stalk you down and blow your brains out in an ally before they can compete." If it's offensive, it ought to be offensive to a broad range of people simply because it's too violent an illustration for comparing it to golf.

Eh. Well it's like my grandmother was saying that our generation (Which I'm assuming is everyone born from the 80's-90's) is a good generation in the fact that we don't automatically jump to look at things from a race perspective. My best friend is White and she tells me she doesn't see me as a Black person. She just sees me as D (Which is what my friends call me) and that its hard for her to see people as a race and she just sees people as people.

I think if she had said something about blowing his brains out in an alley, it would be criticized but she wouldn't lose her job for it. But society's really sensitive about race issues because I think we're trying so hard to move away from it, as soon as someone says something borderline offensive everyone has to throw the race card out there and say some shit about how racist they are.

What about when Dog said the N word about the woman his son was seeing? They took his ass off the air and I LOVE Dog the Bounty Hunter, I don't care how White trash they claim him to be and I felt terrible that A&E lost their damn mind about the situation. I kinda understand where Dog was coming from. Because my folks do the same damn thing. To them there are Black people and then there's the N word. And I think that's what Dog was getting at. And damnit his son was tapping the damn phone, wheres the repercussions in that?

I dunno. I'm kinda in the same boat as my best friend. I just see people as people. I just wish one day society could do the same thing.
