December 13, 20223 yr Here's a news anchor using the same word and a little history of the word itself. The black anchor definitely gave out an uncomfortable laugh when she said it. Edited December 13, 20223 yr by Vic Mackey
December 13, 20223 yr Imagine being this desperate to gotcha your omnipresent woke enemies #mentalillness #gethelp
December 13, 20223 yr And to those who said his co-hosts were oblivious and had no idea what it meant? Fucking lulz. Their faces after he said it. Like wtf did you say.
December 13, 20223 yr Popular Post I have heard the term used a fair amount over the years, but almost always by a black guy referring to another black guy or group of black guys in a disparaging manner. I think we should all have more mercy on people for misspeaking or even saying something offensive without meaning to offend. Society would be better off if we weren't all trying to "gotcha" each other all the time.

December 13, 20223 yr Obviously he was starting to say “Jabronis” but his brain was stuck on “Bugaboos”

Society would be better off if we weren't all trying to "gotcha" each other all the I've been aware of the word for years, but the only time I remember someone use it was in 1983, my freshman year in college. I lived in a dorm that year and there was these 2 guys from Houston that looked like aggy corps cadets. These guys were straight up hard core racists. I found out after a while everyone referred to them as "The Nazis". Last I heard they both dropped out and became HPD officers. Really surprised I haven't heard about these guys being involved in a George Floyd type situation. Real pieces of shit.

I think that's steve young on his right, and he always has that expression on his face as well. Freeze it at the beginning and they are both making the exact same face. I think its fuckin funny and we should be more like George Carlin. Pussies

December 13, 20223 yr This word came up in a different thread. Someone mentioned that they’d never heard the word before. I mentioned that I first heard it in this episode of All in the Family.
December 13, 20223 yr Over a 17 year period I heard that word at every military base we were ever stationed at. Not so much anywhere else.

December 13, 20223 yr The county I grew up in literally had no black people at that time, and I was aware that it (jig) was a slur towards black people. I didn't think of it as on the level of the N word, but more like referencing ghosts and raccoons as racial slurs. But I'm a white guy who didn't really know a black person until I was 15 so.
December 13, 20223 yr Damn I haven’t heard that since the 80s lol. But only white folks get in trouble for racist shit so nothing to see here.

December 13, 20223 yr I can tell some of you aren't from the racists streets like me. That's a term one should not sling around.

The word is the word no matter the context. RG3's explanation that he meant to say 'bug-a-boo' also doesn't fit in the context of what he was saying. He said this word instead.

More just people in jest saying 'if this was a white person then....' I created this thread for the laughs because it was pretty ridiculous and comical he used a deeply rooted slave term from way back then on live tv and floored many listening, including his co-hosts. He made a social media apology and we'll see if ESPN makes him apologize on air ala Lee Corso but this is kind of a non story, just a weird ass soundbite. From a very weird dude.,

It's probably just below the n-word and right in there with another slang word for black people that starts with a C. 5 hours ago, 'stache said: Don Imus said it in reference to this movie in his stuff about the Rutgers women's basketball team that got him fired. It's been out there. Don was fired after calling the Rutgers women's basketball team "nappy-headed hoes." 4 hours ago, Beau Vine said: I just wish it had been Marc Jones who said it. True that.

A persons character — the body of their historical conduct — and what can reasonably be inferred as their intent (did they aim to demean or harm?) matters a great deal more than a single flub

December 13, 20223 yr I don't think that moron has any idea what he is saying at any given time. I chalk this up to pure unadulterated stupidity.

December 13, 20223 yr I admit, this is a new one for me. I had to listen 3 times to tell what he was saying and still don't recall ever hearing that before..from whites or blacks.

I don't think he was even really referring to persons who were all black. He should apologize for using an offensive word that both he and his employers do not condone. My mind could be changed by general outrage from the black community; they're better and more appropriate judges than me. I'll go with their opinion.

I think I saw it’s on Netflix. isn’t that what he calls hooks for running over his foot in the cruiser? Yup- captain Mowser (sp?) call Hooks a “dumb fat j-“ in Police Academy. Really the only time I’ve heard the word used. RG3 was talking so fast trying to get his point across that I think his mouth started moving faster than his brain. I buy his explanation that he was going “bugaboos” but it was because he was talking to fast to come up with a better word like haters or doubters.
December 13, 20223 yr Just now, Ignatius said: Man, I guess it was a West Texas thing but I’m 56 and the (unfortunately numerous) racist branches of my family tree used that word (usually in abbreviated form) frequently. It was one of several phrases people used in place of the hard N because good Baptists aren’t hateful….

December 13, 20223 yr 6 hours ago, Vic Mackey said: That term is a racist term whether you have heard it or not. Being oblivious to a racist term doesn't make any difference. It's been phased out in most vocabs but the meaning didn't go away. I honestly didn't know there was that many people who didn't know about this word. It went viral as soon as he said it. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jigga boo I’m guessing there’s a lot of posters on here who have never heard the term….could be wrong…..haven’t heard it used/said in many moons! After seeing this, I told my wife, Sapphire….holy mackerel!
