i wasn't sure where to post this since we don't seem to have a racism thread ongoing.








Sweden's culture minister today faced furious calls to resign after she was pictured cutting a 'racist' black cake designed like a native African woman.

Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth had appeared at the Museum of Modern Art in Stockholm when she was invited to cut the cake which was designed like a naked African woman.

The Swedish minister cut pieces from the black cake, which had blood-red sponge and was designed to highlight the issue of female genital mutilation.

Despite the intentions of the bizarre cake, however, critics described it as a 'racist spectacle', and demanded Ms Liljeroth resigned for participating in the 'tasteless' event.

The Association for African Swedes said the cake was a crude racist caricature which 'makes a mockery of racism'.

So when was the last little bit of sense of humor used up anyway? Anyone know?

The poor mexicans are screwed, they can't even say the color black without sounding racist.

I'll start taking racism a little more seriously when Obama is no longer in office, there's no NFL, no NBA, Oprah is destitute and I'm not a construction worker.

Roads or buildings? Is that too personal to ask? If so, disregard.

Not at all. Buildings. Licensed Contractor. Started out as a framer. Mostly out of work these days so I do everything else too. Nowadays I've been sub'ing a lot of shit out so I've been able to make some money off the top of various jobs, but it's hard out there for a pimp.

You can't be all bad, ya big marshmallow, your professional life depends on your honor in a sense, one has to have a good reputation in that field to be successful.

That's exactly what I keep trying to tell the Superior Court judge.
