Today the Democrat-Gazette printed a letter containing the word "niggernado" (like "tornado"). Goddamn, Arkansas.

Although I would argue against generalizing Republicans as racists, the Dem-Gazette is full of dicks, so, yeah.

well, there ya go.

Niggernado!? How did they use it in the sentence? Sounds like something I wrote them a looooong time ago.

I love Arkansas.

Just because you don't agree with the opinions of others you shouldn't judge the whole fucking state, Ben.

It wasn't that I was against the opinion, it was that they printed a word that is offensive to a whole lotta people.

If a brother of yours (I'm not even sure you have a brother, this is just a hypothetical situation) did something dumb, like rob a bank, it would reflect poorly on your family. Likewise, this relects poorly on our state. I'm not judging it as a whole, but this isn't a proud moment. It's the same way I can be ashamed of Arkansas for the segregation of Central, or I can be ashamed of America for murdering lots of Native Americans, or pick whatever other example you want.

You need to slow down with that hostility, sister.

it's like saying people suck because someone tripped you!

or

saying women suck because one broke your heart!

collectives are fun to accuse of things that one specific member did!

Yeah.

Hell, I love Arkansas. It's a very pretty place.
