re: #265 shortshrift

I am really curious. How is it more derogatory when used by a white person than by a black person?
As used by a black it means that the black person has sold out to the man -to white culture. It is the new form of the old Uncle Tom insult.
As used by a white?

What if we substitute that with the word redneck.

Now compare Jeff Foxworthy using the word redneck against Janeane Garofalo using the word redneck.
