African Americans for Santorum wouldn't be racist, it would be gay porn.

Blacks can't be racist. Please remember that and everything will be just fine.

Moochers for Michelle isn't really bringing in the donations. People keep calling and asking for money though.

"ethnic group X for candidate Y" is not racist no matter the values of X and Y. it is no different than "Veterans for Y" or "steel workers for Y".. it is a group.


i'm sorry that you seem to be unable to differentiate between when liberals actually criticize someone for sounding racist and when you imagine liberals making that criticism, perhaps you should get some therapy for your inability to separate fantasy from reality.

Cry away, crackers, cry away from your privileged position in society. The woes of the better-off breaks my heart.

PS you already have a white supremacist candidate, his name his Ron Paul.

It's a long standing double standard. There is no "White Americans for candidate Y" ever.

One of liberals' favorite political tools is identity politics. Divide and conquer. We would all be much better off if citizens of this country just viewed themselves as Americans. If you disagree with that sentiment, then consider how you would react to a "White Americans for candidate Y" group.

MeinRS6: It's a long standing double standard. There is no "White Americans for candidate Y" ever.

You don't need a group that supports your candidate when you're in power.

That'd be like the 'Association for Jews in Hollywood'. It's 4 words too many.

That doesn't make sense to me. The context of the thread is about the names of the groups. Names that contain current numerical minorities(in the national sense, in some places blacks are not in the minority at all) are considered acceptable, where one containing anything about whites would not be acceptable. Like I said, it's a long standing double standard. And a poor one at that.

Be patient.

You're bound to see "Honkey-Ass Honkeys for Santorum" before too long.

I would agree that it is, in fact, a double standard. The thing is, double standards are not inherently wrong.

When you have a group that is clearly in a position of power (and there is no denying that, as a whole, caucasians are in a position of power versus African-Americans), just because African-Americans can organize to try and advance their position in society doesn't mean that the group in power gets to get advocacy group to keep those advantages.

Ya know, Subby does have a point...
 
2012-02-18 02:27:16 PM
Also the thing is that 95% of people who call for those groups are, in fact, white supremacists.
 
2012-02-18 02:29:30 PM
"Vote for me, if for no other reason than that we share the same skin color."

Wait, what?

Was the Congressional Black Caucus set up by white supremacists? Was Blacks for Barak?

No, I mean 95% of people who call for advocacy groups for caucasians are in fact racists.

My mom told me as a kid, when I'd ask "They have Mother's Day, Father's Day, Grandparent's Day, why don't they have Kid's Day?" She'd answer "Because every day is kid's day."

That's because "Whiteness" has the prerogative of being invisible--the default standard.

I don't know about that stat, but I would say that it also applies to people that set up black only groups. It is about division, regardless of the skin color of the person setting up the group. That's why it is a double standard that should be done away with.

vartian: People who enjoy their white privilege don't like it when others point it out. MeinRS6 forged his path in life on a completely level playing field with every other person in this country, and all of his achievements reflect that. Any other suggestion is obviously Communist.

Heh - your comment made think of this bit from Louis CK.

Here's how great it is to be white, I could get in a time machine and go to any time and it would be farkin' awesome when I get there. That is exclusively a white privilege. Black people can't fark with time machines. A black guy in a time machine is like hey anything before 1980 no thank you, I don't want to go. But I can go to any time. The year 2, I don't even know what was happening then but I know when I get there, welcome we have a table right here for you sir. ... thank you, it's lovely here in the year 2. I can go to any time in the past, I don't want to go to the future and find out what happens to white people because we're going to pay hard for this shiat, you gotta know that ... we're not just gonna fall from number 1 to 2. They're going to hold us down and fark us in the ass forever and we totally deserve it but for now wheeeee

violentsalvation: "Vote for me, if for no other reason than that we share the same skin color."

It can be comforting to see people like you serving in govt. For white straight men, this is the status quo, not so for many other Americans
 
2012-02-18 03:52:55 PM

Sure there is, it's called the Republican National Convention.
 
2012-02-18 03:55:48 PM
There's something comforting about Teabaggers, GOPers, and Fark Independents showing some nice bigotry now and then.

A nice reminder of long ago when I realized that they were slowly, inexorably, and embarrassingly drifting ever more happily into a position that truly represents all that is dark in America.
 
2012-02-18 03:58:50 PM
Hypocrisy knows no bounds. Wasn't the goal to be that no-one should care about skin color or minor differences? Let's address that by encouraging little groups full people who highlight differences.

"We must be EQUAL--unless it serves our purposes."

And a politician-sponsored group that would be called something like "European-Americans for Clinton" or "Whiteys for ousting Obama" would be frowned upon.

Poop on all groups who try to separate themselves from society at large.

/Voting for Obama because he's half-black is just as racist as voting against him because he's "only" half-white.

mediaho: Of course if a white candidate did this, it would be racist

Of course it would be. Do you need this explained to you again?

If you are having difficulty being a middle-class, white, American male born in the late 20th century, you are an absolute disgrace, a failure as a human being, and you would have starved to death long ago in any other era or country.

Oh look, another thread with both Tatsuma and MeinRS6. What are the chances?


Half the thread is him talking to himself. It's really unbelievable to try to comprehend what kind of sick mental disorder one has to have to try to pretend to be two separate people, and then spend an inordinate amount of time conversing between your alternate personalities on an internet message board. Un-farking-believable.

/Guess that explains some of his political positions though.
//The result of some mental disorder.
