See that's the thing, the rhyme never even had to DO with anything racist. It was always "catch a tiger by his toe, if he hollers let him go", hence why it was used in the show. People are just ignorant and don't bother to actually figure things out for themselves.
Because some person decided along the way to make it derogatory/racist by changing the words and now some unenlightened people actually think that's what it means. You can do that with any type of "nursery rhyme" as I said, someone will always take the words and twist them in that way. In elementary school, we always did those nursery rhymes, as they were originally written, and no one ever said a damn thing.
Point being - the REAL rhyme had absolutely nothing at all do with anything racist.
I take this the same as someone who says a person who is a Satanist sacrifices animals and has black masses and kills babies. When if they actually read about what Satanism REALLY is, they'd see that those people absolutely do not at all, do anything of those types of things.
It's because again, people ASSUME instead of finding out what the real deal is.
I think sometimes people just want to make something that's not an issue become an issue so they can run their mouths.

Had to argue the same thing on the olden board, but by that logic i suppose you deem it perfectly fine for someone to run around with a swastika tattooed on their forehead. Completely agree with that last line though. Like, you know, a T-shirt that's pulled from being sold

Completely agree with that last line though. Like, you know, a T-shirt that's pulled from being sold I see your point on all this, trust me. I guess I'm just pissed that a t-shirt that has a direct quote from the show and wasn't used in that context is being taken that way. Anyway, what's funny about the swastika is of course, the Germans stole it and made it into their own propaganda. It was an ancient symbol first, and meant something good until it was used to represent evil, and now of course it's synonymous with that. Same with "666" Those are more grand examples, but still the same in a sense. My point on all this is, because it was interpreted in an incorrect way, it became now something "racist". Perhaps I should get rid of my "Pimpercrombie and Bitch" shirt, wouldn't want to offend anyone! Haha. But, I promise I won't turn into Morgotha on ya

I actually never even knew that rhyme used to have a replacement (target) word. I always thought it was tiger. I am apparently not the only one. To me, a portion of racism (NOT ALL but a portion of it) still exists BECAUSE of how incredibly sensitive some people are. Sometimes the racism is not even there and people just place it there. I am not a fan of that word, I think it's horrible and I cringe when I hear or read it. I also don't condone violence (IRL ) But I do think people take offensiveness and politically correctness a bit too far. If you look at this as an example....you can trace almost every saying or tshirt to some form of an -ism... 6 degrees of -isms. lol I agree with this. I never liked n*****. I am mixed but I still find the word offensive and just because you are African American doesn't give you the right to say it either . I don't say it as slang nor do I ever say it. I cringe too when I hear it in music or in movies too.
