POPSBush nominates Don Imus for 5th Circuit Court of Appeals Two state appeals court judges pointed out in a dissent: "The word 'nigger' is, and always has been, offensive. Search high and low, you will not find any non-offensive definition for this term." During a Senate Judiciary Committee last week on Southwick's nomination, Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., said of the "teacher's pet" concept: "To me, that's a pretty shocking piece of analysis." Southwick sought to backpedal: "That does not now seem convincing to me." Southwick is a Texas native who graduated from Rice University and the University of Texas Law School. He moved to Mississippi to clerk for a U.S. appeals court judge and stayed there, except for a Justice Department stint in the Bush-41 administration.

POPSNas Keeps it Real I like what Nas had to say in this article. I think people in today's society get so caught up on words and images, they lose site of the intent and the realities behind what those words represent. For example, "nigger." People spend so much time focusing on the word. If it's said by a politician, in a movie, in a song, etc. They lose site of the real issue - that there's still racism and inequality in this country. People should focus more on the realities and the intent, than trying to find every little phrase that might be said somewhere by someone in a public setting that could potentially be interpreted by some people as potentially being somewhat derogatory.
