I have high hopes that this Country will finally show Hitlary that we just don't want her and her hubby in our government.

MICK - Derogatory word for Irish people.
The origin of the word is disputed. Some beliefs are that "mick" comes from the common "Mc" in many Irish names. McSorley, McNeil, McFlannagan, ect.

Others believe its related to the sound of a drunken hiccup. I was the captain *mick* of a ship *mick* for 3 years!!

Also, Mick is the word that "spick" came from.
Irish and Hispanics are both dominantly catholic. In the 1900's when Irish immigrants had pretty much been well established, but still hated by many Americans, was also the time when many Hispanic immigrants made their entry into America. They ended up sharing our churches, schools and neighborhoods due to the catholic faith and moral values we had in common. When early retard americans saw this, they bagan calling hispanics "spicks" (Like a spanish Mick).

steelharp, that WAS a bit insensitive..but to say that Kennedy is Irish is casting a slur on all Irish folks everywhere.
other than that, I guess you're right on target.

as a side note, I'd say distrust anyone that he endorses.

[Steelharp]

Sorry, Mike and Tower. I don't regularly use that terminology, but I grew up in a time when we still had a sense of humor and could laugh at ourselves without being hypersensitive about trivial matters. I had an uncle that was Archie Bunker made over. I only used it for the humor aspect, not to offend.

I'm a wop, btw. Or dago... whatever... it doesn't bother me. And yes, if Obama wins, I will be practicing my best "authentic western gibberish" with, "No, durn burn it, I said the President's a N-----!" :D

Now if Kennedy would just expire, that would make my day.

[strickj]

i see nothing wrong with what he said being he is joking!!!it is much different if "outsiders"are useing a slur to degrade or attack someone.but as to post a possibly offensive word publicly,well i wouldnt do it.

[bulletproof]

Both sides of my family are almost all irish but I take no offense. My description of Kennedy is much worse than that.

I would rather go hunting with Dick Cheney than to go riding in a car with Kennedy.

[saintsfanbrian]

Remember, Kennedy's car has killed more people than most guns....

[TargetShooter84]

This is going to be one h*ll of a race for the president position....

[skwashdem]

Remember, Kennedy's car has killed more people than most guns....

It's also killed more people than Dick Cheney's shotgun.

Caroline says Obama reminds her of her father??? Is there a DNA check needed? Maybe Jack wasn't the only runaround in the family...

Contact the Maury show and they'll provide a free DNA testing in exchange for humiliation on tv! :)

Was Caroline's statement a general one, or did she go into specifics? I can see only one comparison. Both are/were senators. And I am not really sure what Obama has accomplished while in the Senate. How much time is the guy even spending there?

I would guess all the Kennedy's were running around a little back in the day. Presently a mental picture of Teddy in his b-day suit is fairly unsettling, lol.

[enfield]

Wow, what the heck is that for? Would you use the N word referring to an afrcian american? I am not sure what you meant but i take offense to it.

There's always someone who volunteers to be offended.

You know, I'm not just going to let my last reply sit there like that. I'm going to tell a story of a bunch of us that happened, just to prove a point, then I'm leaving this alone.

I did a showcase (musical performance) with an artist, all of the musicians being hired guns to back this guy. We showed up at the rehearsal, and the drummer was a tad late. All of us were setting up, talking, doing our thing, and the drummer walked in. He was black, and none of us cared one way or the other. However, the silence when he came in and we all looked at the doorway and saw him just standing there with his cymbal bag in one hand and his snare in the other... he just bugged his eyes, looked at all of us, and said, "Where all da white women at?" We all just fell out laughing, him included.

Something is only racist if you choose to make it that way. So cut the sanctimonious crap.

[towerclimber37]

LOL! I like that one steel!
and you of course are right
My grandmothers' name was O'connor...and She didn't like the kennedy's either!

[R1100R]

I second that!!!

ok mike..ya got me.
I actually called some fella a bluebelly a few days ago..and I'm sorry about that.
In my defense it turns out, he's from colorado..and He cast aspersions on both Tn, and myself first..

so in retrospect, the term "bluebelly s.o.b" wasn't that bad.

[Steelharp]

tower, I've never heard that one. What does that refer to?

[towerclimber37]

*sigh*
a blue belly was the term used to describe union soldiers. its usually used in a derogatory manner.
basically its a nasty word for 'yankee'

[towerclimber37]

and I apologized to him after he calmed down and quit calling me names.
I guess it really DIDN'T help that I was actually more versed in the name calling thing. (after awhile in the military, you learn some pretty colorful ones)..

I wouldn't have used it if he hadn't brought out that tired old line about all of us here are stupid, inbred etc.

[Steelharp]

I understand. You know, if you say something in anger, to agitate and degrade, then that is racist and uncalled for. But for cripes sake, if ya can't joke around...

[towerclimber37]

hmhmhmh well, with Ted Kennedy, anything you say in a derogatory manner, I'll probably laugh at..that guys a slimy creature. there is no truth in his words and his idea of integrity is whatever he can say or do that will line his pockets with money or further his own agenda.
and guys, I apologize to you all...I DID say that..it wasn't right to say it. That fracas is long been over and well concluded in my opinion. I use the term "the war of northern aggression"..but I hold no grudge against any man because of where he's from. only his actions will cause that.
so I hope you all don't think less of me for that.

You all missed my entire point here. I guess I did not explain it well enough.

This board gets visited by all kinds of people. Is racist name calling how we want to portray ourselves?

I understand Mikey was using humor. but there is a place for things. I do not believe that this forum is the place for it.

In a hundred years would anyone have used the N word or another derogatory term to make fun of a black mans heritage on this forum? I doubt it.

so what is the difference between using a derogatory term towards an Irishman and using a derogatory term towards a black man?

Elliott you know me, I am not one who can't take a joke. I can take it as well as give it. If you called me a drunken mick to my face I would laugh and enjoy the humor. But on this forum racism has no place. Elliott you have nothing to apologize for here.

Off topic on this off topic board I hope you are enjoying your time at home!

well, thankya kindly! :) I am enjoying my time here at home... I just bought Julie her christmas present..we both picked it out.. a 52" bravia, sony lcd tv. it cost about as much as 4 springfield emp's...but she's happy and the picture is incredible!

as for the bluebelly comment, if you folks knew what it was, you'd call me on it..so I you all deserve an apology. I should have more integrity than that.

[Marswolf]

I hope this board doesn't start getting politically correct.

I come here to get away from that insanity.

Stop it, Mars. be serious. No humor here, ok? Just to be safe, get rid of the smiley faces, too. We don't want to project the wrong image.

I called one of those low lifes who have moved in from Ohio a " Damn Carpetbagger " the other day and he didn't even know what it meant. It takes away from the insult when you have to explain it. If someone gets offended by a word that was not directed at them then they are looking to be offended.

[Mike.357]

obviously I am wrong I will go and remove my posts on this subject.

But I tell you one thing Mikey, I do not believe your little anecdote happened for one second.

That line is straight from Blazing Saddles and you botched a quote from there in another thread..

[strickj]

com-on guys,lets not make this board like the lowroad

[Steelharp]

Mike, I really don't care if you believe me or not. It happened. I would give you the artist's name, but out of respect for his privacy, I won't. He has had a few records, and been on the Opry a time or two.

Unlike my kids, I don't memorize movie dialog verbatim, so it's possible I didn't quote something exactly.

Someone go ahead and lock this. It's going nowhere, it started as a harmless little joke, and has spiraled downward in a totally unintended direction because some people are just too hypersensitive... one of the problems with our modern society.

LOL!

I can see where there would be confusion.
I grew up as my generations' historian for my family. (can you believe I had an ancestor named icbarticus mercillia??).
while other folks were learning about the much publicized burning of the south by Sherman, I learned also about a little place in Florida where he got his butt handed to him (The battle of Olustee)and fled like a coward leaving not only soldiers but equipment behind as well!
I also had to work 3 times harder that alot of folks to find my family history around then, since Union soldiers burned my ancestors house (along with the family bible..where, back then, genealogical history was kept...marriages,deaths, births etc.) because they were afraid my family would supply Confederate soldiers with food. The house was a freebie I guess.
I took it personally when that kid said that everyone in Tn was inbred, brain-dead and corn-fed. This isn't my native state (GA is.)..but I've come to know quite a few fine folks here...and that ticked me off.
the wars' long over now..and we're all just folks...but that kid made me want to spit in his eye and step on his neck..and explain that the ONLY reason the North won the war was because they had numerical superiority and a solid industrial base..if he's an indication of brains....well boys, we got em licked! :D all the smart folks moved south already..LOL!!!!

[Marswolf]

Yeah, people want to move to the South not move north when given a chance. One thing that has stuck with me over the years is someone saying that whoever heard of retiring to the north? :p

I had over a hundred folks I could have joined Sons of Confederate Veterans under. Maybe a couple of them owned slaves. Mostly just hard working Georgia farmers who didn't like yankees (small "y") telling them what to do. I have a hefty streak of that in me. ;)
