I said, I... I... I...

anynody have an xlation for "Memin Pinguin"

More proof that only white Europeans can be racist.

Well that's great, since you aren't a European. You're an American, right?

[antisocial]

Are you old enough to remember "Song of the South"? I remember it well and loved it as a child. Uncle Remus stories were my favorite. Now they say it's racist and you can only get it thru the black market.

[Bon mots]

If a black person created "Howdy Doody" would that be racist?

He's an exaggerated white person. A darned ugly one at that.

I would be willing to bet that if someone were to take a Howdy Doody doll and paint him black and put black hair on him that someone would say it was obviously racist.

European Americans - obviously.

Good point, thanks for wasting bits on it.

[rdb3]

European Americans - obviously.

It's not obvious, since I've never met you.

Now which is it? Are you a European or an American?

[tiamat]

What's with some freepers desperation to appear so unPC that'd they defend this crap?

You REALLY want an honest answer? I lived in a NASTY part of Ypsilanti for about 10 years. My white neighbors sometimes had the same attitudes.

(NOT always. There were a lot of good people there as well)

I think such low-lifes are SO down on themselves, and so ignorant, that the ONLY thing they can come up with to comfort themselves with for their shortcommings is, "Well, at least I ain't BLACK!"

They can be dirt-poor, semi-literate, unemployed, ignorant, addicted wife-beaters, but because they are White....they cling to the illusion that they are worth something.

But in order to do THAT, they have to put down anyone who ISN'T White.

Their "Whiteness" is the only thing they have, after all.

You can buy "Song of the South" on eBay.

[Born in a Rage]

The cartoon isn't an 'exaggerated' caricature of a black kid. It's a boy that looks like a monkey. It's one thing to exaggerate a 'rapper' or 'hillbilly' or whatever, but when a person is portrayed as an animal (less than human) it is definitely a racist and derogatory depiction. Like I said, there's a big difference. To celebrate this cartoon by making it a national stamp is outlandish and insulting to all people.

[tiamat]

Howdy Doody was ALSO from a much different time.

[JarheadFromFlorida]

Vincente the Rat figures that if American liberals can get away with it like they did with the racist caricatures of Condi Rice then so can he.

They can be dirt-poor, semi-literate, unemployed, ignorant, addicted wife-beaters, but because they are White....they cling to the illusion that they are worth something. Can I get a "Amen!"? Some people will go to extremes to make themselves feel better than most. If we're all americans, why even approve of some kind of crappy stamp that makes fun of a segment of our population?

[tiamat]

And there you go.

Yes.

[rdb3]

Can I get a "Amen!"? Some people will go to extremes to make themselves feel better than most. If we're all americans, why even approve of some kind of crappy stamp that makes fun of a segment of our population?

And the congregation said, "Amen." I tip my hat to you for a wonderful post.

[Oztrich Boy]

Dark-skinned with an over-shaped head

What shape is an over? Inquiring minds want to know.

[RebelBanker]

Tia,

I think you just posted a pretty darn good working definition of "white trash." I have known a few here in the People's Democratic State of Maryland whose attitude seems to be "I may be s**t, but at least I ain't a n****r." Pitiful.

Happy Independence Day (just a little bit early)!

[tiamat]

That's what they were all right. But on a more positive note, A VERY HAPPY Independance Day to you and yours as well!

[tiamat]

Here you go!

try ebay, athough most uncheap

Wow, as of just a minute ago, a set of five went for $202.50! (eBay auction # 5594574589 ) But the winning "bidder" was a newbie, had zero feedback, and there are Buy It Now auctions of a set of the stamps for thirty bucks.( 5594816313 )

Either somebody is really stupid about how eBay works, or liberals are making fake bids (like people did with the Virgin Mary cheese sandwich) in order to frustrate someone who would profit off this.

[antisocial]

Well, even right here on FR it is acceptable to caracaturize "rednecks". Pictures of toothless white hillbillies are posted quite often. What do you think would happen to a Freeper if they posted caracatures of blacks?
