My life = lie

So I just read a racewank post that said the phrase "the pot calling the kettle black" is racist.

And rghtly so! The pot should refer to the kettle as a kettle of color!

Calling-out occasionally has some good pratfalls.

I've seen this before. Evidently using the word black, in any context, means you're a racist.

Wait a minute. I thought the pot called the kettle black, not the pot called the kettle a nigger.

perhaps it should be changed to the pot calling the kettle silver? There are more of those than black pots and pans these days.

Was the person making that comment Black? If not, :/
