Thread: Does this ass make my truck look big?

I was flying to Kansas City last week and I sat next to a 55-60 yo black lady. It turns out she is a judge in Dallas. She brought up politics and told me she was voting for 0bama and that she thinks 0bama is getting blamed for everybody else's failings. She later told me how she had a fellow judge dismiss a speeding ticket for her. I gave her a piece of my mind about 0bama and fixing traffic tickets. I wonder if she thought I was a racist for not liking 0bama. When she went to the lavatory, the guy sitting next to me wanted to high five me. That was wierd.

If you have to say "it's been done to white people, too!" then you gave in to the race card.

I agree that the bumper sticker is not racist; however, given the VAST and LONG history of black people being described and caricatured as monkeys and apes... I can very easily see how someone would see Obama being referred to as a chimp as being racist. I would not call that being over sensitive or playing the race card at all.

Well there are shorter or more effecient terms like "whiners" that come to mind...but you're right in one sense. I mean if Israel continues to re-iterate that we cannot allow another holocaust to take place and as and when we have to invade Iran to prevent it, whilst you wouldn't support the war, you'd understand right? I mean, given their history...

Sometimes worrying around the race card "like oh I can't give in" is just as bad as being racist. Don't let the issue "own" you.

The "coming out of the closet" mentality as you put it isn't at all about feeling loved. It's about just being out there and not hiding. 50 years ago when very few people came out; a person could be fired, evicted and even jailed just for being homosexual. It took people willing to risk everything and come out before things could change. When everyone thinks they don't know a minority.... they really don't care what happens to that minority. It takes realizing that your neighbor, your doctor, your brother is a member of that minority before most people will acutally care about what happens to that minority. Sad but true.

My black stepfather you to get pissed when people stared at us (mixed racial family). I had a out of the closet mentality about it as both my white and black friends found it odd. Eventually I developed a fuck it attitude about it. Some people are never accepting and never will be. You can't let it rule your life ... you need to be comfortable in your own skin. So if my cousin couldn't relax around his whole family and just be himself ... who the fuck would he ever relax around?

Simply put "fuck what other people think" and start relaxing ... not worrying about all the uptight people in the world. You can never change how others think about you ... you can only change yourself.

I hope you reported the owner of that sticker to attackwatch! It's your duty as an American!

They're not satisfied that a black man won, now they want everyone to fall at his feet and worship him just because he's black and regardless of what's happening to the country. Thankfully, I heard many blacks complain about him but I wonder if they've got the kahunas to cross the party line in the next election...I seriously doubt many will. Hopefully, enough whites who previously voted for him will be fed up enough to cast an "anyone but Obama" vote.

Obama is a maggot AND a piece of shit - oh yeah racist ... blah blah blah -

But this racist wants Herman Cain to replace King dumbcocksuckershitobama next year.

I guess I'm just a confused racist - maybe I'll figure out how to be a good racist one day.

Report me to attackwatch. Oh, fuck you Barack, you're a stupid ass.

LOL I'm thinking about getting one and putting it on her car while she's in the bar...it'd be a good practical joke!

To the rest of us, but she'd see it as a hate crime by the sounds of it - last thing we need is her wasting police time when she complains...

You're probably right...at least when I made bumper stickers that said "I love gay porn" and put them on the trucks of three of my friends, they laughed about it...

Its a good idea though, and if anything the best way to rile her up even more is probably just to encourage everyone who parks in her eye line and sight to put it on their own cars, it'd likely make her wanna scream.

Unfortunately, it's been shown that there are plenty of people who truly believe that, if you disagree with Obama, you're a racist. These people, for the most part, are complete mental midgets, and should be dismissed.

And then there are those who simply cry "racism" because they are simply unable to present a position which is rooted in logic, reason and facts. They should also be dismissed.
