A few years ago a radio show, Kevin and Beane tried to give away garden hoes spray painted Black to anyone who called and said they needed a Black Hoe! I guess the only real solution is to continually call it out and shame them for what they truly are.

(And there SHOULD be more protests out in Cobb County. That bar owner goes looking for trouble, then let him have some.) As for dubious cultural behaviors being challenged and public outcry being administered in the right places, or not... as a woman, any day I'm NOT called a you-know-what (c-word) in the blogosphere, I tend to call a good day.
