Get PINKDOME Merchandise!

Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

Uhm, Even I know That's Insensitive

A state representative in a runoff election infuriated civil rights leaders after she ended a conversation with the mother of the NAACP's local president by saying, "Talk to you later, Buckwheat."

It gets better, apparently her husband, Lenny, who is a member of the Democratic Party's State Central Committee, was indicted on charges of allegedly harboring illegal aliens through his construction business.

Niiice.

Are you fucking serious? Buckwheat? My God what is happening to this country? Everyone knows that when addressing a female you should use Farina, Buckwheat was a boy.

match point, anon.

You call a leader in the community to thank her for helping you get out the vote, then end the conversation with 'Talk to you later, Buckwheat'? What do you do when she sends you a Christmas gift? Set a cross on fire in her yard?

Only in LA.

Maybe she is one of those unfortunate dorks that uses "Buckwheat" to address people when she thinks she's being cool. See also: Cool Beans
