Isn't Prince like half black or something? Is "half-blood" some sort of racist comment? Damnit, Mo I thought you were sensitive to issues like that. It's over between us...run back to Slimpy.

don't you know anything?!?!?! gosh!

J.K. Rowling comments on racism through her fictional use of the prejudice people from magical families sometimes have against people who are part "Muggle" (non- magical people); the slur to describe these "half-bloods" is a "mudblood". There was a fight on one of the books over it, I think Ron punched Malfoy for calling Hermione one or something.
Anyway, discussing racism is not the same as propagating it- in fact it's often the opposite.
Dude, haven't you read ANY of the books?
and I'd like to state for the record, here and now, that Prince sucks. Almost, but not quite, as much as Bjork.

Wow, I think I hate you! You said the following: Prince sucks (not true), Bjork sucks (really not true at all), and insinuated that a book filled with racism is supposed to be cool. "Muggle" is too close to "Nigger" in my world. Next you're going to tell me that Quentin Tarantino is a genius because every character he's ever played in all of his own movies has made more racist comments than any other character in the movie!

And, no, I haven't read any Harry Pootie books! The church tells me they are the devil's work and I should burn them and pray for the souls of the non-believers.

Amen.
