So, telling the truth is a problem eh? Go figure.

Careful, there. You're edging into "little brown brother" troll territory.

I never found Boondocks funny. It's too preachy, but our local papers always run it.

Here's more about the Boondocks creator, in an older FR thread:

Oh, please. So it is only racism if it is perpetrated by a white person?

Hell, how do we even know it was a white person? You think conservative ideals are racially exclusive?

Is there an Aryan Nations FR Ping List that this thread (or at least some portions of it) can be pinged to? /sarc

That looks like it's from PJ O'Rourke's "Foreigners Around the World". No one was safe in that one... lol. I remember reading my own "ethnic description" there... and OH BOY it was terrible... lol.

I saw that same show and had a similar reaction. We really have gone way too far in this country.

"the very blatantly racist cartoons about Condi Rice"

That was the first thing I thought of too. And what is the comment about the illegal holding his/her hand out to "what appeared to be a white man", another bit of bigotry there I think. What would have been the result had it been an Asian looking man or a Black looking man or a woman instead of a white looking man. There are just all kinds of ways for everyone to get "offended" at every little thing. By the way it is practically impossible to find a totally white person, almost all have some minority race in their bloodline, but I guess it's all about looks.

I saw this joke in a Mad Magazine "Lighter Side" back in the 1970s.

Hispanics are a disease?

Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!

Latin America is multi-racial and multi-cultural. There is no "Hispanic" race. Nevertheless, you do make a good point.

Resolution: Deny aide of any kind to an illegal immigrant and deny citizenship/aide to an illegals US born offspring.

I can imagine them sitting in meetings and all of them worrying about looking non-PC and offending mexicans and some writer pops up all proud 'Canadians!'

[Liberty Valance]

Incidentally, I don't recall hearing about these same "civil rights" groups complaining about the very blantantly racist cartoons about Condi Rice around the time of her nomination for secretary of state.

Bump for Great Truth.

How is a German Argentian, a Black Dominican, a Mayan Mexican and a Brazillian Mulatto the same race and cuturle?
