“In my early youth, in the 50’s, blacks were referred to as “spades” becsuse, presumably, spades were a black playing card suit. Of course, there were other words for blacks like “coons” and “jiggs” or “jigaboos.” By the 60’s, with the civil rights movement and advances, such terms were largely out of use along with “nigger.”

Unseen: Is bigotry a mere colloquial vocabulary choice or an intended use? Words and expressionse that once had racist meanings: “peanut gallery,” “paddy wagon,” “mumbo jumbo,” and “off the reservation.”
Mumbo jumbo? I don’t know the derivation. Bigotry is a set of ideas that typically include stereotypes and depict out-groups as having certain…[Read more]

rhonjon,
Here i am surprised others can’t make connection between gypped and gypsy and i am not sure i ever did between animal husbandry and husband.
I was surprised to learn Jamaicans use the word Pickney in Patwah for children. It is an obvious derivative of Pickaninny. Pickaninny was term slave owners used for Black children and later used…[Read more]

Call a spade a spade. I have a foggy memory of that phrase being a public issue some time ago. I think many are unaware of any bigotry associated. The racist term i have heard on and off since childhood is gypped. You must know that one if you are an American. “That son of a bitch gyped me!” Just like spade a spade oft times the speaker knows not…[Read more]

Not only undefined but where is the scientific adventurer who is seeking proof of ANY religious BS. I think there have been experiments perhaps to see if there is a weight reduction upon death or a visible soul exiting the corpse. Not aware of any other searches for heaven, hell, devil, other angels…any of it.

Sunday School 3 years, 8 months agoSimon, I see marionettes. People are not evil. They’re mindless and amenable to the most ineffable manipulation.
That is why there is a glimmer if only a Potempkin shimmer to ameliorate lives of people everywhere and reduce existential risk.

Sunday School 3 years, 8 months agoDavis, I agree. Was not trying to diminish or contradict anything you asserted. In fact Islam is to my knowledge a combination of Judaism and Christianity and very similar to Christianity as a political institution that fractured and produced various sects & sought to conquer, absorb and proselytize. It is just that at this point Islam is more…[Read more]

Sunday School 3 years, 8 months agoThere are roughly 2 billions Muslims. Islam is a DRIVER of immorality. It is a political institution and it seeks to increase its membership and influence. Yeah it is all make-believe. But at this point it is as far as i can ascertain the number 1 enemy to humanist ideals.

” At the end of the day, religion is a tool that serves human interest.”
Whose or what interest? If you are simply saying that proof of usefulness is longevity then you can say that about harmful and parasitic bacteria or other pathogens.
