if you're going to play dumb and say you're just reporting the news, you probably shouldn't use terms like "liberal blogger thuggery".

 
Diogenes [TotalFark] 2008-05-22 01:26:44 PM  
No one can be so dumb as to believe this wouldn't provoke criticism, if not downright outrage.

If you want to proceed with your poor judgement, at least have the intestinal fortitude to stand behind it.

I used to think we as a society would be rid of this kind of racial intolerance once the older generations die out, but then I realized it's them who are teaching their yung'uns this kind of shiat, and that they are breeding at an alarming rate. It's the smart ones who remain childless, and there is only one inescapable conclusion: Dumbasses will win. Hope I'll be dead by then.

mediaho 2008-05-22 01:34:42 PM  
This is the thread where the racists start decrying "political correctness" so they can continue to intimidate minorities with a clear conscience.

Funny that none of them had a problem with actual political correct speech (like "sweep and clear" instead of "search and destroy,") they only find fault when they can't say the N word with impunity.

It's just stating the obvious to me. There's a percentage of the American population that doesn't want "one of them uppity n***ra's" in office & some of them might be willing to do something about it. It's a legitimate concern & I see no reason to sugar coat it.

It's a good thing I'm smart and have a child. I can actually help the problem instead of just pointing it out.

I really don't see the racism in Roswell. We have many different ethnicities in our neighborhood and many of the surrounding neighborhoods as well. The public school system is certainly diverse. I suspect this is just the ignorant minority making the most noise (and doing graphic design for the Beacon).

So if some idiot spouts out that Obama is a drug addicted homosexual commie, then they should report it?

Idiocracy was a hard movie for me to watch, mostly because of the shame and depression that set in after every big laugh. I had a glimpse of what it must be like to be my bi-polar grandma.

I'm not having kids, either, but my idiot redneck younger sister has one. She gets pissed at him when he counts in Spanish. Niiice.

Quit biatching about it and contribute to the solution. Have a couple kids, and raise them to be intelligent, rational adults.

Because there's very little actual integration. Everything's still split up into "black neighborhoods" and "white neighborhoods".
Cobb County is ridiculous; they're the ones responsible for stickering the biology textbooks with "EVOLUTION IS JUST A THEORY DURRRR HURRRRR".

But hell, if the unthinkable happens, I'll be rioting right alongside the black dudes, and I'm as white as white gets.

letdogsvote: Huh. Georgia. What a surprise.

To be fair, Georgia did go like 70% for Obama in the primary. So this is obviously one of those magazines designed to sell ads to a bunch of hicks. Most likely this is for racist "Hillary supporters"- read: Republicans. Kinda like the Fark trolls.

Suicidal Writer 2008-05-22 02:22:50 PM  
I doubt it. Obama is disliked by racists, but the day of violent racists knowing that they could get a free pass is pretty much over. Unless you are a cop, killing minorities tends to be frowned upon in America, even by racists. There are violent racists, but it isn't as if they can just walk up to him and do anything. Think about all the racial seperatists we have in the country. There are over 1,000 hate groups. A lot are armed. How much violence do they do?

Bush is actually hated by people in America. There are people that feel he should be brought up on war crimes. There are people that believe he is the worst president ever. He is hated far more than Obama.

The assassination fears are pretty baseless. I will admit that America is still a racist country, but blacks have more to fear from blacks when it comes to murder than they do about some angry rogue white person trying to kill them. It just doesn't happen often enough to be afraid of it. The exception of course is cops. There is a lot to worry about when cops are involved because they know they can go unpunished.

He has zero chance of being elected anyway, so all the hypothetical stuff is a waste of time.

Off the top of my head:

Murder of African exchange student by White Pride skinheads in Portland (for which the Metzgers were sued, losing them the right to use the WAR name or logo)

Assault of native american couple outside the Aryan Nations compound in Idaho (for which the Aryan Nations were sued, losing their compound and the rights to the AN name or logos)

Eric Rudolph plants various bombs at abortion clinics, gay bars and at the Atlanta olympics. 2 (?) dead, several injured including a nurse who is maimed horribly.

Tim McVeigh blows up the Murraugh building in OK City, killing hundreds.

RaHoWa fan in Illinois goes on a shooting spree targetting blacks, asians and jews killing two and wounding nine.

White Supremacist in LA shoots up a Jewish community centre and kills a Filipino mailman.

"The Order" murders Denver radio show host, does armed robberies and counterfeits money to further the racist cause.

I'm sure I can come up with more if I use Google.

Nice. Thanks for helping out the cause. The rest of the intelligent people will do what they can to ensure dumbasses don't take over society and we will pick up where the rest of you "smart" ones gave up.

Personally I am going to raise my girls to be intelligent hard working members of society. Who knows maybe one day they will be helping take care of your old, smart, childless, decrepit ass.
