is asking a black man to dance a "jig" racist?
that's what the woman on google+ asked the president to do. the one who said her husband was out of work. i know it is a dance:

The Jig (Irish: port) is a form of lively folk dance, as well as the accompanying dance tune, originating in England in the 16th century and today most associated ...

but it is also a racial slur:

You +1'd this publicly. Undo
a combination of two insults... 1 - "jig"...abbreviated version of jigaboo - a racial slur against blacks

so what gives?

That reminds me when the worlds smartest man in the history of the universe read the Irish PM's speech off teleprompter. 0bama went on for a couple of minutes and even thanked himself before the Irish PM interrupted him saying that he was reading his speech.

Just more proof of how scary smart Wyle E. 0bama is.

74. Obama actually has some traceable Irish roots

View profile
and going to Punahou, at one point he learned some hula.

Neither I think are germane in this case, but they are interesting tidbits.

I don't care what BS he tried to run down in the 08 campaign, obama has as much Irish in him as Idi Amin. obama's family doesn't have a background of slavery. So his granmammy wasn't getting boinked by a slavemaster. Neither does michele-my-bell. Her family comes from the Planet Wookiee.

That thread is just about as stupid as when libs worked themselves into a lather over some guy that used "niggardly" in a sentence.
It was years ago, and the libs had a cow over it.

Damn liberals keep removing words from a white mans language and soon I'll be a deaf mute.

A "JIG" is also a device used in the manufacturing of something as an aid or guide. I guess from know on when I build a "JIG" in the woodshop I'll have to call it a "Contraption" or else I might offend a damn liberal or some wandering jig.

Seems to me it was an employee of the District of Columbia who urged the city council to resist acting niggardly about something or the other.

He was fired for uttering a slur, then later reinstated after his remarks were translated into ebonics.

When I hear the phrase "danced a jig", I think of a guy or gal doing the I told you so dance.  I guess the guy or gal in my imagination is usually white but that's probably because I'm a white guy.

Jig here is a tool. Not sure how that's racist, but I'll give it a shot.

A jig is a tool, which means it has a work function. So it works, but I don't pay it, or give it benefits. And it's always at my beck and call, even in the middle of the night. Just like the racist old bastards with slaves.
