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

Okay so how many comments does it take to make FR look like the racist site so many claim it to be? One? Two? Ten?

There are many places for "ethnic slang 'fun'" as you call it. A conservative web site with an aready tarnished reputation for racism doesn't seem like the wisest choice.

We disagree. Eh, such is life my FRiend. Have a great evening.

Anyone who claims this site is racist is a moron. You buy into the double standard that no cultural jokes can be made about blacks, they may be non-PC, but not racist. I reported the post on this thread that I thought was beyond the pale, but you are drawing a line between what jokes non minorities can make about minorities, minorities are held to no such standard.

I said I laugh at ethnic jokes, shoot me. Anything on this site that might actually be construed as racist is shot down immediately as far as I can see, and I don’t hesitate to report something that fits the bill.

This website is “tarnished” by who, nut jobs, not rational adults, this is the most civil message board I’ve seen on the internet. 99% of us aren’t racists, and most of us don’t conform to the rigid political correctness you would have us adhere to, I just think you’re a bit sensitive. Have a great night as well.

LOL!

"Marrrryyyyyy!"

If you're going to talk disparagingly and throw the "racist" bomb at people on what is after all a HUMOR thread, you're bound to catch some flack. Sorry if it touched a nerve.

If it makes you feel better, I'll try to stop sucking on my thumb in mommy's basement.

That is a really strange photo/scene - he walks ahead while ignoring her, she trails behind carrying the food?

What is this, Saudi Arabia?

[stentorian conservative]

True. My husband did ask why I was wearing his flack vest. (badum-bum-bum)

And I'll stop being miss sensitive.

;-p

He is such a warm and cuddly guy, isn’t he?

[stentorian conservative]

You know, I'm not some stuffy shirt, nose in the air kinda chick. Let me ask you this.

Let's say your a a party. 98% of the 100 attendees are strangers to you (mixed company.) Would you tell this joke:

A reporter asked a Hurricane Katrina survivor how many Church building were destroyed.

She replied, "B*tch I don't know. I eat at Popeyes."


If you answer yes, then I doubt we'll understand each other.
If you answer no then maybe you'll understand where I am coming from.

Funny? Yes. Appropriate averywhere? Not so much.

Don't waste your time. The "crickets" can chirp all they want. It's idiots like these that is damning the republican party to the good ol' boys club, assorted racists, and women haters.

I'm no longer a registered republican for a good reason. I HATE these people with a passion.

tick, tick, tick, tick...

I'm still waiting to get kicked off this board. I don't know why I hang around; I feel like I need a shower after I leave here.

[Texas_shutterbug]

"in fact the same jokes have been made here about whites without the uproar."

Actually, I believe lots of jokes are made about women's appearances here, but not so much the men...unless they happen to be black, of course.

Yeah, I know...go find a post about Biden or some other white guy.

rolling eyes

[daku]

that is beautiful

thank you sir

[little jeremiah]

You can’t be serious.

The First Lady is in the public eye, (of course she isn’t the First Lady yet but supposedly will be), most of us here are not. Especially sitting at our computers.

[little jeremiah]

How many comments were there over the years about Hillary’s appearance - legs, ankles, whatnot.

If a person chooses to be a public figure, and if they choose to be an angry leftist - fair game. I think some of the comments on this thread were a bit tacky, but so what? Obama’s despicable actions, beliefs, goals, plans and words are infinitely - universes - more dangerous and criminal than a couple of jokes, even if some were slightly “off color”.

I feel sorry for Michelle because she looks like a miserable angry person. But no one forced her to marry a commie lying racist thug. No one forced her to attend Wright’s “church”. No one forced her to associate with leftist scum racists like the Farrakhans. Etc.

O fer cryin out loud. LIGHTEN UP.

Oh, SOMEone will always get their feathers ruffled. It seems that for some, acting the outraged gasbag is the high point of their day.

Now that you've gotten your exercise for the day (jumping to conclusions) lets straighten out some things.

First of all, according to Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton and other leaders of the race industry it wasn't possible for the black man to be racist because he wasn't in power. Every time they said something that sounded racist to white people that was their reply.

Well, now the black man is in power, so, by their own rules it is now not possible for whites to be racist. As a white man I can now say anything that I want to about any body and not have to fear being labeled a 'racist'. (Like I gave a crap about that anyway.............)

Second, my use of the word Ho was an attempt at satire. I'm sorry if that was lost on you but, as I said above, like I give a crap.

Third, the Republican party has bent over backwards to lure the black vote by becoming almost as liberal as the Democrats. If that's your idea of conservatism and success for the Republican party then you need to reevaluate.

Fourth, its the blacks that have popularized and mainstreamed words like Ho and Bitch as terms of endearment for their women. Now that it's not possible for me to be a racist I can use these terms with reckless abandon.

Fifth, I don't advocate playing 'dirty'. I advocate playing hard. There's a hugh difference.

And last, I'm tired of walking on eggs in order to protect the delicate sensibilities of ~13% of the US population.

I'm still waiting to get kicked off this board.

You don't have to wait for the ban hammer. You can leave.............

"Well............bye."

[stentorian conservative]

WHAH! WAH! WHAH!

I've waited all these years to talk like an idiotic, uneducated moron and damnit nobody is gonna take that away from me!

WHAH! WHAH! WHAH!

And fyi, don't write more than three points of contention to your opponent. They lose interest and see you as a nag.

I wish you the most outstanding Thanksgiving. I mean that.

sinking to the lower level always makes you better....lead by example or follow them into the gutter.
