Common childhood rhyme, right?

A federal jury in Kansas City rejected a lawsuit by two African-American sisters claiming that a flight attendant’s use of the rhyme "eenie, meenie, minie, moe" was racist and caused them physical and emotional distress, reports the Kansas City Star.

Louise Sawyer and Grace Fuller said they were traumatized when a stewardess on a Southwest Airlines flight said over the intercom, "Eenie, meenie, minie, moe; pick a seat, we gotta go," in an effort to get passengers to take their seats.

Some say the original child’s rhyme ended with "catch a nigger by his toe," and the sisters say hearing it on the plane caused one of them to have a seizure later in the day. The flight attendant says she only ever heard the version that ends "catch a tiger by the toe."

I'm going to sue the producers of Braveheart. Made me think of the highland clearances and deeply upset me. Also Mel's accent made me upset as well...

I mean people will try to sue for anything nowadays. The courts, especially it seems in America, are becoming a farce. :nono:

"Kill all the lawyers!"


Common sense cannot die as there never was any such thing. Common necessarily implies large quantities and easy availability, neither of which are in evidence. :shrug:
