I refused to eat a black jelly bean this morning. Am I racist?

Yeah, and if it was two white kids they be bitching because there are no blacks on the poster. Get over it.

Jay Leno said he had a college intern tell him not eating Mexican food is racist.

It’s about that absurd on college these days. Actual racism isn’t required. It’s ‘micro-aggressions.’ Which means, “Anything other than kissing my a** = racism.”

Never had these problems before 1865.

Has the University of Virginia issued a statement of deep concern?

Pat Morris sounds like a professional scold and busybody. It’s a sweet painting. And I used to pick strawberries for school clothing money myself, and I’m very far from black.

I’m really thinking about starting a non-profit support group for the perpetually offended...

How is this any different than some of the art that the Obamas chose for the White House? Plenty of black folks in those paintings.

Look at the bright side. If the black folks boycott the festival, there will be a lot less violence, vandalism and theft so they will not need as much security this year. Ergo, less overhead that will probably more than make up for any lost revenue from the boycott.

“Band news” from Mississippi. Looks like the black man found hanging in the woods committed suicide. The usual crowd has declared otherwise.

The poster is art. It’s kitschy art, maybe folksy art, reminds me of the paintings I used to see in art shows in Jamaica, local artists who were not generally selling to the tourists—I have a few in my own collection.

The only way one could be offended by this poster is if one were looking to be offended, which is course is what is happening here. It is the basic emotional-abuse relationship, where no matter what one does, it is never non-racist enough, non-sexist enough, LGBT-supportive enough, whatever-the-liberal-thing-du-jour-is enough. There is only one way to handle such a “marriage” between liberals and the rest of us, and that is with a writ of divorce, because the abuse-of-the-non-liberal-supposed-racistsexisthomophobicwhatevertheliberalsdecideiswrong rest of us needs to stop. NOW, and forever.

Democrats must constantly inflame racial tension, to whip up their political base and suppress their political opponents.

Reality is irrelevant.

use of the word “racist” is pretty much always a projection these days.

“I know what that poster represents. … It is offensive. It is distasteful,” said Morris, president of the Greater Tangipahoa Parish NAACP branch.

In addition to being the president of the local NAACP, apparently this Pat Morris is also a mind-reader.

I pretty sure at this point God is considered racist.

In fact, i seem to recall in the news lately where some black racist actually said that. But at this point I really don’t care enough to look it up and post it here. yawn….
