No.

And, I doubt that poster knows a thing about black people—outside of what they see on tv, of course.

They should know better. People, this is what happens when you don’t have a POC at the discussions.
You were at the meeting?

Get out and meet actual, real-life black people, for God’s sake! Your post is extremely ignorant.

Nope, but it’s quite obvious they had no one there to let them know this wouldn’t go over well. Things like this are why it’s important to have many groups represented during planning discussions. Otherwise, you’ll end up with some idiot thinking Al Sharpton speaks for most black people.

Purely speculative on your part. No evidence to back up this claim.

I don't care, mind you, just thought it was odd to jump to that conclusion.

As I said, it’s obvious, No Recess.

If that's your story and you're sticking to it...go for it.

The only demographic I associate with the term is guests on Jerry Springer. I haven't heard anyone, black or white, use it in anything other than tones of contempt - not exactly what one would hope for in a greeting card.

It’s pretty obvious that poster was being sarcastic. Take a deep breath.
