"US President elect Barack Obama and his wife Michelle leave the University of Chicago Lab School after a parent-teacher conference."

Interesting, walks the exact 2 paces behind where muslims’ wives are supposed to walk.

I am not a fan of the Obamas in any way....but to call her a ho....i mean really...do you have to sink us to that level?

LOL ... from now on redstates4ever, let's all agree to post these stories in the humor section ...that way, no one will get their feather's ruffled.

[redstates4ever]

My caption threads are always posted in the humor section.

Some people just don't have much of a sense of humor.

Well..................yeah.

I watched McNut take the high road straight to first runner up which has put our republic in jeopardy.

It's time to give as good as we get.

I’m with you. FR is sounding more like DU every day.

Hahaha!

That shirt/saying was first developed and marketed in Chicago by two Asian guys, and they were browbeaten by non-Asian PC types into stopping their sales of it.

And now they own the whole ball of wax.

Taking the high road to political oppression is just damn stupid.

Flowers?? I thought it was a jello mold.

OMG, too funny. Thats waisis!

[stentorian conservative]

I think you’re falling into the trap of the liberal definition of “racist”.

Thats a cop out.
There are gulfs between calling someone a racist because they oppose the ridiculous idea of reparations and calling them racist because they call a black woman a "ho, and a 'monkey*" That's the language of idiotic, bigoted, maniacs.

And did it ever occur to you that maybe a few of the black folks in this country vote Dem because they don't feel welcome in our Party? If I was a Black American looking for a logical alternative to the "weak" party of handouts and oppression and I stumbled on a thread like this I would probably never give Conservatives a second look. Which is sad because Conservative ideals actually appeal to more than the votes suggest. I wonder why? (Psss, here's your chance to stereotype all them lazy, thieving, "gimme my gumint cheese" ho's and pimps.)

And as for the assertion that we lost this election because we didn't play "dirty?" That's just hogwash. I do believe that we should have been more assertive. We should have been "in their faces." But you win by VOTES and you don't gain voters from other parties by speaking like an ignorant fanatic.

I didn’t see anyone call the Obama’s a monkey. I asked what posts were racist. So we’ve descended to where there can be no pop culture referneces, I would never call Michelle a “ho”, but someone did say Jackie Ho. I’ll admit I laughed, it’s not like rappers and many people use the term ho constantly, it’s common and points to a double standard. It doesn’t make the poster racist, it’s not PC, but it’s not racist. Again, it’s not something I would say, I’ll grant you that.

I don’t have a problem with ethnic jokes, etc. which have been washed out of our culture, stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason, because there’s some truth to them, and can be funny. Notice that minorities can mock whites and others unscathed, let Andrew Dice Clay do the same and he’s blackballed from comedy.

I won’t submit to the double standard. I saw some jokes that weren’t in great taste, but I saw nothing RACIST, unless we’re using the left wing watered down version of the word.

I asked for the “racist” posts on the thread that you and the other person found so offensive, please point me out to the racist posts and I’ll condemn them along with you.

[redstates4ever]

"...please point me out to the racist posts"

*crickets chirping*

[stentorian conservative]

Oh come on. You are apparently an intelligent person. There is more than enough hatred on this thread. . . I pause to quote others, especially when I have yet to utter the word "racist." so I'll ask you this, how many of these tasteless comments would be here if Michelle were white? I have FReepmailed them to you. I've got brains enough to keep from stepping into it too deep.

Now before you call me a "crazy compassionate wacko" let me just say that we should be able to laugh at others as well as ourselves. I'm with you there. My point is that it's not always wise to bring even more negative attention to yourself. As for the double standard? It's pure BS. It's also not a language I would partake in even if it was acceptable for me to do so.

[stentorian conservative]

I have a Soldier as a husband and we have six children. I’m sorry I’m not giving you your undivided attention. Go back to mommy’s basement and suck your thumb.

Uh ... I thought Jackée was still "the black Jackie O."

[word_warrior_bob]

You responded to me when I asked another poster what posts were “racist”.

Pointing out that someone has a big butt is NOT racist, jeez, referring to slang isn’t racist. I won’t call you a “crazy compassionate wacko”, but the things you pointed out are hyper-sensitive and wouldn’t be in question if the Obama’s were white, in fact the same jokes have been made here about whites without the uproar.

I agree with you about the ONE post in this thread about the tree. Some people said some things that I wouldn’t say, but I think you and your brethren are overreacting, it is a double standard.
