I think it's ludicrous that anyone would appeal to the president to ban a tv show in the first place. lmao. Especially for repeating a rhyme that he clearly didn't invent.

I honestly never even knew that until this mess. I thought it was always tiger. I thought Tarantino wrote it into the dungeon scene in Pulp Fiction just to be funny with wordplay.

I'm sure the original was a tiger lol, kind of like the fireworks that chase you or the black toe shaped nuts in a can of mixed nuts.

I always used tiger. So I guess this isn't a free pass to use the N word. darn.

Lawsuit[edit]
A jocular use of a form of the rhyme by a Southwest Airlines flight attendant, encouraging passengers to sit down so the plane could take off, led to a 2003 lawsuit charging the airline with intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress. Two versions of the rhyme were attested in court; both "Eeny meeny miny mo, Please sit down it's time to go" and "Pick a seat, it's time to go". The passengers in question were African American and stated that they were humiliated due to what they called the "racist history" of the rhyme. A jury returned a verdict in favor of Southwest and the plaintiffs' appeal was denied.[14]

Quite honestly, they are going backwards with all of this. They achieved equal rights and it wasn't enough. Now every opportunity they can claim racism, they do.

They are only hurting themselves.

The English?

For some reason this called to mind the portrait of George Washington hung in an English outhouse and Ethan Allen's response to the British about it.
