I am personally outraged by the fact that a stereotypical label has

exists but to put it in the dictionary as a word.No! It is a damn

stereotype. Does anyone agree? Is anyone else upset with this?

Carrie -- Please be careful where you put the insertion point when you

begin typing a response in this group. These are your sentiments, not

mine, and although a careful reading will detect that I actually only

reposted the NAACP press release to which you apparently refer, a cursory

glance by a reader would not. My own initial cursory glance damn near gave

me a heart attack.
