Quote from CaptainObvious:
The term "Shine" is another racist term for blacks stemming from, when they sweat their skin shines. There is also the term "shine time" coming from the notion that black people tend to be late for appointments.
Quote from CaptainObvious:
What is a racist?
For example, I may hate certain general qualities about a certain group, but I only hate those qualities about them, not the entire race just because of the way they look.
I believe this to be incorrect. I grew up in the South and remember segregation and Jim Crow laws...Quote from CaptainObvious:

"Shine", in reference to Blacks, is a derogatory term relating to the servile jobs such as a "Shoe Shine Boy" they use to dominate. :-\

Thanks, Cap. I figured as much given the source, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't making a mistake.
I imagine that video gave Pabst a little woodie.
I also love pattersb's comment. He sees a video where a white man is screaming the N word repeatedly at a group of blacks and his comment is 'I didn't hear anything racist!!'.
Gotta love it...
