About “Another View of the N-Word”:
“I think what jams up so many white folk is that it is a bit of black culture that can’t be appropriated. Nearly every other black style, word, phrase, gesture, musical innovation — you name it — has been appropriated by the Man, but this is one word that can’t be and won’t be.” — jeff
About “Letter from the Editor” and the Paula Deen controversy:
“Bruce, one of your father’s friends said the N-word? I think you should resign immediately. Yes, that is how ridiculous this thing with Paula Deen is. She answered her questions honestly. She should have just lied.”

About “No More Auto Inspections for Memphis”:
“The EPA has ruled that all of Shelby County is in violation of emission standards, not just Memphis. The state has ultimate responsibility with the county having primary responsibility, NOT Memphis. All Memphis is saying is that since the whole county is responsible for air quality, then let all of Shelby County’s vehicles be tested.”
