Remember in Die Hard 3 where John McLean (Bruce Willis) had to get naked and walk around Harlem with a sign that read "I hate Ns". Then Samuel L Jackson had to save his ass!

No reason for this behavior.

I can't stand Oblabla because he's destroying the financial state of this country, discarding everything which made Americia a superpower, and dividing us into fragments.

I don't care if he's purple with orange polks dots.

Unite or this Republic will fail.

Afro-engineering is the politically correct term.

Generally a reference to being rushed; not quality built.

And to answer your question, it is used all over the nation. I know, because i've lived in every region of the country, and i've heard every variation of the term that you can come up with.

You have to admire that kind of ballsyness from time to time.
Yeah, that guy's real admirable. He deserves the utmost respect because he gives the utmost respect, doesn't he?

It's a racially derogatory term for jerry rig--"organize or construct in a crude or improvised manner."

jerry-rigged - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

Growing up in the South, I used to hear it all the time. I haven't heard in in a long time, as finally, thankfully, the N-word became more and more unacceptable and less used.

I remember someone I knew thinking they were being clever and non-racist by changing the term to "Afro-engineered." Still racist, though I'm coming to believe that many people are too ignorant to realize that they are racists.

Nope, nobody uses the N-word anywhere else but Georgia.
