Yes well clearly it is impossible to have a free ride as a judgmental cow on these boards. I promise to keep my incoherent judgmental rants to myself from now on for the good of all mankind! These are the moments when I must remember you don't have to share every thought.
ML Rule #3836: we do NOT under any circumstances judge other parents. Dads? Sometimes. Moms? HELL NO. If you are not a parent yourself, stand the fuck down, you have no opinion.
Unless they lock the baby in a hot car. And even then it's 50/50 on judging the mom and just assuming the kid was being an asshole, in which case we give the mom a pass.
I'll be honest, when I hear buckwheat I think of the zyedeco band that I saw a few times as a kid and pancakes. My dad took me to see Buckwheat Zydeco a few times AND he used to make buckwheat pancakes b/c they were healthier.
I do get what @misoangry and nuggetbrain are saying, it's just not a word that automatically makes me think of race. I think of Zydeco and pancakes.
When "Buckwheat" is hurled as an insult, it refers to neither Zydeco nor pancakes.
I've only been half paying attention around here lately so I could be wrong, but I think the consensus is that in these situations you're supposed to just break the window.
FULL ON LOL.
I keep cracking up over that too.
Now after reading the last page, I think I need to read the middle 3 dammit.
I suppose you could consider it "old people humor" in the way that old people like to "insult" another white adult by calling a white person a black child with an unkempt afro.
Old white people call other old white people black children with unkempt afros? Wut?
