Improbable one questioned:"hubert, did you really mean to say,
'sand nigger,'
or did you mean to say,
sand digger,"

I guess that depends on your definition of the word "sand".

"i am black
and i have sand
in my shoes,
but you don't have to call me
a sand bagger."

Impris....of all people you understand the value of "off-color" remarks for what they are. If you were/are black and I was/am black or white, or any of a number of varied sundry colors, my post would point to the idiocy of judging a remark at face value.

Words are such a manipulative device. It is up to the manipulated to decide whether a reaction to words is warranted.

"you really piss me off, man..."

Yeah, I'm sure...nice try though!

impristine, I know that is an awful word, but I think he was using it ironically. He was criticising those who do not respect the lives of people of a different color. I think.
