My friends are fucking racists and I hate them

[Donovan]

You sure act big on the internet.

I don't act any kind of way. I think you're an asshole and probably a useless troll. You have routinely chimed in to most conversations here yet add very little of substance. Why, you wanna fight me at 3 o'clock after school? Did you want to measure internet penises or something?

You aren't gonna shoot up the cafeteria because I was mean, are you?

You will not be judged by the color of your skin, but by the content of your character.

Where?

[Maggot]

Where?

Wherever I am.

[Duchess]

Good answer!

The hardest life lesson for me to learn is that life isn't fair. It just isn't. I believe in fair play, I believe in the same rule for all and life isn't like that at all.

[Maggot]

I really believe what MLK said not what it has morphed into. Every person should be judged by their character and intentions. Colors mean nothing.

[HairOfTheDog]

What did he state on his College and school aid applications?

Jesus Biggie. Sounds like you're referring to a loooooooong-debunked hoax claiming evidence that Obama attended college as a "foreign student".

If you want to make such insinuations, do your own homework and provide sources or rationale to back them up if you expect to get anything other than a rebuke or another eyeroll.

So, you tell us what Obama stated. As far as I know, Obama, like several other presidents, hasn't released his school records to the press.

You've made that proclamation here many times.

The content of a lot of your posts doesn't reflect that sentiment however.

Most memorable was your false claim/insistence that CNN had lightened the skin of a mass shooter so he wouldn't appear black and your reaction to being asked for a source (which I can ascertain, but you refused to provide).

Also on your greatest hits list was the story of your son bringing home a little black boy one time and you taking them for ice cream. According to you, that little boy was the only one who was ungrateful or unmanageable or some such thing.

And, of course, there's your embrace of the Obama birther conspiracy.

WTF are you talking about? My son never brought no nigger home.

and the birther conspiracy was not helped by Obamas refusal to show his birth certificate you have to admit his past was quite shifty with the schools he went to the countries he was in and a few other things that he did when he was young that he didn't clear up when he easily could have immediately, it was all very dramatic.

If you believe that I couldn't care less about a persons skin color and treat everyone the same until they show less than normal morality black or white you are sadly mistaken.

I do remember vaguely the CNN story and may have been taken in by an unscrupulous source and I can see that but you are out of your liberal treehouse if you even think I am at all racist. But you never know. You live on a different level of goofyness than most people.

[HairOfTheDog]

Truth isn't synonymous with "goofiness", though you seem to equate the two anytime someone/something conflicts with your observations or claims, Mags. I can take it though! ")

Your "I only judge by character and not skin color, and MLK wouldn't approve of blacks today" type statements just don't match up to a lot of your comments nor to reality. That's what I'm saying, with solid reason. There's nothing goofy about that observation.

Aside from those I already posted, here are some reasons I feel that way...

-- Your defense of Cliven Bundy's contention that 'negros were better off as slaves than they are today' (not even FOX would support that shit).
-- Your support of the Bundy clan taking federal land by force and aiming guns at LE for weeks and days on end (also putting locals out of work) because the Bundies disagreed with officers'/government's land policy, while simultaneously bitching and degrading unarmed black people for protesting or blocking intersections because they disagreed with officers'/government's use of fatal force on unarmed citizens.
-- Your frequent "what about black-on-black crime...Chicago!??!" interjections when we're discussing school/mass shootings primarily carried out by white males.
-- Your advocacy of racial profiling as a policy.
-- Your offense at a crime story referring to the suspect/perp as "white", when the same source and most sources often refer to skin color when describing a suspect/perp.

I could go on and on, but I think it's clear enough why your proclamations of skin color not affecting your views/judgments don't match the views and opinions you've shared in a lot of your comments.

I'm not claiming you are or aren't a racist. I am stating that based on your own comments, skin color is something that you use to make judgments more than most others here, even when you have no way of knowing the character of the people you're commenting about.

I love a good conspiracy.

I’ve stated that many times.

The Obama birther conspiracy is really as good as it gets.

Compelling and very well may be true.

No matter your political leaning, there’s no denying that there’s a ton of vagueness in the details of his early life.

[Duchess]

No wonder you find trump appealing. Birds of a feather...

[HairOfTheDog]

There's an official short and long form birth certificate showing Obama was born in Hawaii; both are now matters of public record.

There is information about Obama's early life available, though he spent some of his formative years with his mom and Indonesian stepdad living in Indonesia, so not all of it is likely as easily accessible as information about a public figure who was raised exclusively in the U.S.

No legitimate politician, Republican nor Democrat nor Independent, denies that Obama was born in the U.S. Even Trump now claims that 'yes, Barack Obama was born in the U.S."

You can only imagine how much the far right and conspiracy theorists (including Trump) tried to find proof to delegitimize Obama's presidential qualifications, yet it remains nothing but a conspiracy theory.

Some aspects are quite appealing.

Other aspects are nauseating.

As much as I like Barack the man, I thought he came up short in the leadership department. I think he was in over his head, but hey, the country is still intact.

I voted for him against Romney in 2012.

I’m not sure what the next 2+ years will bring us but Trump will not be predictable.

As long as he doesn’t start WWIII I’m pretty much on board with most of his policies.

[Duchess]

The revulsion I feel towards him as human being outweighs everything. He is a despicable person...and he's stupid, as in, cartoon character stooopid. He is a disgrace to the office he holds.

[BigMark]

Is this racist?

Julio and who lee p.

I'm not sure what part of your "fanny" you pulled this out of but pictures would be helpful
I do remember watching a kid named Elizabeth that stayed with me and my Daughter, she was about 11 at the time and this kid was a little hellion, we went to the amusement park and she would make my Daughter wait in lines then go off and come back and get back in line after she waited there. She was loud, knew everything and wouldn't buckle up in the car, tore everything up in the house wouldn't listen to anything and I was glad when she was gone. It wasn't because she was black it was because she was a PITA. I put up with her for my Daughter and later she told me she only did it because the other kids didn't like her and she felt sorry for her.

Going by today's standards everyone is racist, not because they are but because new parameters have sprung up over the last few years that say everyone is. I do not fall into step with the new "White privilege" crowd that blame their own lack of a moral compass on all white people. It just isn't the truth and millions of people agree with me. I do believe that there is racism in the world just not as widespread as it is proclaimed. I would defend anyone getting taunted by the color of their skin but feel no pity for fools that get themselves into trouble for their lack of common sense and decency.

[HairOfTheDog]

No Maggot. That’s not the story I remember you posting years ago and I’m not going to waste time searching for it. So, I’ll retract that example. I’ve given plenty of other recent examples.

Anyway, you can declare how objective you are when it comes to race all you want........that’s not how you come across to me in discussion.

I think systemic racism is more pervasive than you do. But I agree that ‘racist!’ too often gets tossed out without basis. I’ve called that out here many times too.

[BigMark]

I was singled out for my color in school, it was a constant war.
