You still haven't said what Lott said that was racist. You only assume that because he spoke kindly of a Strom Thurmond at his birthday party that he was racist.

As such, do you feel that the girl who refused to press charges contributed to the horrible events at VT?

The fact is that this kid had mental problems and "went off". Plenty of people saw "warning signs" but there lots of kids showing "warning signs" so perhaps greater awareness of risky kids might help, and maybe not. We can't exactly just lock up all the risky kids. This situation may not have a solution. And here is our problem. We see people like Cho who have mental problems and some brave soul may try to seek help for them but everybody else seems to be afraid to force the issue because *we might be violating his civil rights* or ask ourselves*Who am I to judge*, or be afraid of being called a *racist* if we reported some minority as being odd. So in the name of being politically correct we just ignore the situation and hope somebody else does the dirty work or nothing happens. Had Cho been asked to leave VT until he was mentally stable, how long would it have taken before the ACLU would have filed a law suit against the University on Cho's behalf? ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Your Ho ness
In a message dated 4/14/07 6:07:12 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: have seen "ho" used in various contexts that seem to have a "positive" slant. In my view, it tends to mean something towards "dedicated". Like Imus calling his wife a "green ho" -- she is fanatatic about environmentally safe cleaning and household projects. She will give up social politeness and get in your face about it. It would seem to me, a traditional ho, is one who is dedicated to money and will trade something precious in their life for it. An environmental ho, or a political ho, corporate ho, will trade something precious in their lives -- time, energy, spirit, soul -- for something: environmental progress, political change, or corporate ascent, respectively. In this context, Curtis is a Blues ho. Or perhaps a "Blues John" -- under the sway of the Blues Temptress Ho Godess. Or perhaps ho captures that "dominated" flavor. A ho gives up some control to their client. The Blues "has its way" with Curtis when ever it wants, but leaves a fifty dollar bill of soulful renewal on the nightstand. Perhaps Judy is a word ho. Bevan is a MMY/TMO ho. Rory is a mystical insight ho. Barry is an irony ho. I am an analytical ho of sorts. Of course, maybe I am over-thinking this. :) Remember all that is holy is half ho. In fact, perhaps its all ho. Ho ly is the adjective describing the state of "ho ness". So what does that make "wholeness"? And if someone who is "gung ho" simply enthusiastically displaying their ho ness? And so... these girls were Baset ball Ho's? ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

No. This was back in '99, in the D.C. mayor's office. The staffer who used the word offered to resign because of the negative publicity; his resignation was accepted, but he was later rehired when it became clear he hadn't used a racial slur.

So you don't think their feelings were really hurt, they just wanted to get on television, right? Gee, you should have told Imus that. He wouldn't have gone to all that trouble to apologize to them and meet with them. Don't you get that *Imus himself* thinks he said a terribly hurtful thing? Possibly, some on the team could be overly sensitive. Not being an Imus fan myself, I do know he makes comments like these all the time, it's his job, he was hired as a shock jock and nobody takes him seriously. My take on his comments was that he was actually paying them a complement, Ghetto style, and it backfired.
