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?

Let’s see how simple it is. You agree it is a slam for a black to use it against a black, yes. So, now, can you see how it is STILL a slam for a white person to use it?

Simple, I know.
