BrownsKidd Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Come on, this is going to far. If we want P/C rubbish to end, why aren't people standing against it and or just ignoring the crap and the snowflakes that want to try and claim everything is racist. To recap: U.K. department chain Primark pulled a Walking Dead T-shirt (image below) from its stores after a customer complained the clothing item is “racist” and “offensive.” The shirt featured Negan’s signature Lucille baseball bat and his victim-selecting rhyme, “Eeny meeny miny moe, catch a tiger by the toe…” The problem? About 100 years ago, that rhyme commonly used the N-word instead of “tiger.” https://www.yahoo.com/celebrity/walking-dead-star-slams-t-152048600.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbedward Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 I laughed out loud when I read what the customer said The customer that complained about it isn't even black "This image relates directly to the practice of assaulting black people in America … It is directly threatening of a racist assault, and if I were black and were faced by a wearer I would know just where I stood.” It related to a TV show not the practice of assaulting black people in America lol - is that even a practice in America? This guy totally has multiple black bulls plow his wife on a nightly basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 I never heard of that rhyme using the word ngr, ever. It doesnt even make sense if you throw ngr in that rhyme. "Catch a ngr by his toe"? What the fuck does that even mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Does it make less sense than tiger? Catching more slaves than tigers I imagine. This complaint is dumb btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, wasn't it catch a tiger by his tail when we were kids? Now that obviously makes sense. But ur right neither ngr or tiger makes sense catching em by the toe. And how dare they mess with neegan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cysko Kid Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I've never heard "catch a N***** by the toe". Like ever. Now that this idiot has brought it to my attention I'm gonna say it literally every time now. I won't be able to help it. The absurdity is too strong.

Yes, none of us were ever exposed to racist nursery rhymes as children. But tell us moar "back in the day"'stories of snapping each other's bare asses with towels in the boys lockeroom.
