Pull the plug.

Was watching Beloved the other night and there was a pretty poignant scene where the only word a slaver uses after observing the aftermath of Oprah killing her kids is "animal". Just reminded me of this thread.

I was watching The Muppets and saw "Animal." I was outraged at the obvious racism!

Yep. That word has a long sad tradition. And it's pretty frightening that some would mock the use of the word with inanimate childrens toys. It just shows how insensitive people are just to make a point.

But it is not ALWAYS racist.

Is "Animal" the muppet character (a character, not a toy) racist by virtue of his name?

Yes or no?

If you can't simply say yes, or no, please don't bother to answer.

I asked you not to answer if you can't give a straight answer. The fact that you have to violate forum rules in avoiding the answer says alot.
