I have several young people who work for me and even one that is married to a black guy and they didn't know what it actually meant. I didn't either, but then I am old. Don't Quote Snoop Dog

One of the young girls that works for me is 20 years old and said that the says it all the time, even around black people. She turned beet red.I had no idea what it meant.
What did you think it meant given the context?I had no idea what it meant.
No excuse. If you don't know what something means then don't be a parrot. For the record she was reprimanded by the news company for another incident. Bad enough people walk around trying to use "big words" and sound like Mike Tyson.I have several young people who work for me and even one that is married to a black guy and they didn't know what it actually meant.

You left us hanging, did you get the victory?When I was in 9th grade, I ran for class president at a school that was at least 30% black. I had posters everywhere with that phrase on it, and then vote for my nickname that rhymes with that.
Everyone thought it was funny. Had no clue until now that’s what it meant.
Ha, yes. My greatest accomplishment.You left us hanging, did you get the victory?
Come on, you know darn well in your life you have repeated things that you didn't exactly know what they meant. EVERYBODY thought it was just a funny rhyme.No excuse.

Uh nope. It’s pretty simple context clues plus having like any exposure to black people.Come on, you know darn well in your life you have repeated things that you didn't exactly know what they meant. EVERYBODY thought it was just a funny rhyme.
In the context it was actually said it wasn’t derogatory. Doesn’t mean us honkies can say it, but not derogatory.Humpty Dumpty is a funny rhyme.
The first time I heard that phrase in a song I knew exactly what it meant. You are naive af if you didn’t have an iotas notion that it might be derogatory.
It baffles me that people are so ignorant, nothing should surprise me any more, but, here we are.
It baffles me that grown ass adults care about shit like this, but here we areHumpty Dumpty is a funny rhyme.

I had NO CLUE what it meant. And seriously there were 4 young people that worked for me that honestly had no clue.Humpty Dumpty is a funny rhyme.

And I haven't actually heard it in a song. I might be a few more years older than you.Humpty Dumpty is a funny rhyme.

Not sure how you got this from what I said but you do you. Would love to hear the rationale on thinking most people should be able to figure out what the phrase means makes me offended.I’ve learned that some people go through life looking for reasons to be offended.
I sure as hell didn’t. I don’t talk stupid shit.How did people not know what that meant?
Yep.. It’s weak ass shit i don’t give a fuk what anyone saysIt baffles me that grown ass adults care about shit like this, but here we are
Actually I don't and not many people do.Come on, you know darn well in your life you have repeated things that you didn't exactly know what they meant. EVERYBODY thought it was just a funny rhyme.
It’s not derogatory, but I’m also not really sure it means anything. It’s just nonsense words to agree with somebody that sound like another phrase. The whole thing is goofy, even if it’s not really advisable to just throw that around.In the context it was actually said it wasn’t derogatory. Doesn’t mean us honkies can say it, but not derogatory.
She said nothing wrong outside of being old and corny.It’s not derogatory, but I’m also not really sure it means anything. It’s just nonsense words to agree with somebody that sound like another phrase. The whole thing is goofy, even if it’s not really advisable to just throw that around.
Also, it looks like the other thing she said that was controversial was “grandmammy.”
I honestly kind of think the reaction to it is mostly from older people, too. Who knows , maybe this woman is just insensitive or something.She said nothing wrong outside of being old and corny.
I changed my post above after rewatching. Sensitivity is on overload these days.I honestly kind of think the reaction to it is mostly from older people, too. Who knows , maybe this woman is just insensitive or something.
You know someone who’s married to a black person?!I have several young people who work for me and even one that is married to a black guy and they didn't know what it actually meant. I didn't either, but then I am old. Don't Quote Snoop Dog
As @dposton said earlier in the thread, it wasn’t her first incident. If it was just that, I don’t think anyone should be fired. It clearly isn’t a malicious phrase.Wait. Fired for that??
World has gone to shit…
