I'm referring to numbers 8, 10, and 15 specifically.

Half Baked Chunky Monkey is actually a combination of the 4th and 5th most popular brands on the B& J website.

And since when is the word “Negro” racist? Like in the united Negro College Fund?

[tomnbeverly]

Again you have never heard an uneducated White person say the term Gubmint? When did that become a black stereotype word? and Obama is only half black so that makes him half white too so he is an interacial candidate not a Black one so lets get the facts straight.

I’ve already answered this in the post to which your reply. You have only repeated yourself, so I will not answer again.

[Rockitz]

While there were a number of entries that I thought could be perceived by others as racist in the original thread, I thought I did a pretty good job of eliminating those from the final compilation.

[tomnbeverly]

You see what we are up against in the fall now don’t you... and he calls himself a Conservative... Imagine the attacks on free speech that the liberals will raise anytime you disagree with a Policy decision of Obama he can’t be doing it because it is simply based on his policies of social change no it will be disagreement because you are intolerant, hate filled, racist, Conservatives....

Good luck with that.

Fer all us rednecks there’s Cowchip Crunch. We’re being fed BS. They just can’t seem to make it tasty.

[tomnbeverly]

No you didn’t answer anything you assumed that making light of Obama’s social policy issues is racist and it isn’t and I am offended that you think that way.

[Old Professer]

It is half of his platform...

[Bitsy]

Just one more reason(s) to avoid ingesting any of this fat filled, sugary junk food, called Ben and Jerry’s quick route to diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

We have a Ben & Jerry’s in Metairie, LA. It’s in a funky little mini-mall on Veterans Hwy. (our main drag in Met. and there is only one or two cars in front of it when I pass. I am hoping for a going out of business sign on it one day. I will NEVER buy one lick of ice cream from those liberal leftists who have made their money on Capitalism!!! Yet have contempt for it - hypocrites!

[bassmaner]

On a serious note ... I wonder what genius at B&J's decided that it was a good idea to alienate half of their potential customers by taking sides in a political debate.

Oh well, I guess Haagen-Daz will benefit (that is, at least while capitalism is still legal ...)

[Tired of Taxes]

If we were naming Hillary ice cream it would be pasty white, cracker, vanilla...yada yada.

I referred specifically to numbers 8, 10, and 15. I did not question the names with words like chocolate, mocha, etc. I see no problem with those.

But, at least, I'm glad this list won't be sent directly to Ben & Jerry.

[JackDanielsOldNo7]

Hammer and Sickle Popsicle

[Rockitz]

# 18 on the list!

[Hoodlum91]

Oreo.

No fancy name needed!

[weegee]

Don’t eat the yellow snow cones....

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

If Obama is half white and all whites are racist by nature then he is half racist.

[ItsForTheChildren]

a National BJ tax

Is he trying to get Bill Clinton on board, now?

You see what we are up against in the fall now don’t you... and he calls himself a Conservative...

Good luck with that.

Not every charge of racism is false. I think that I have already mentioned that fact. But some of it is justified, and my charge here is obviously justified to anyone who would consider it unbiasedly. There is racism among the Democrats (and that could be their undoing this year), but unfortunately there is a good bit among so called conservatives.

If you think though, that your type of racism is a winning formula for November, you are sillier than I thought. These kinds of efforts are harmful to conservatives, and that is why I object to it so strongly. I know what we are up against, and I don't think we need the help of those who don't know the difference between the right hand and their left.

[Mr. Silverback]

Has Sharia Sherbet been suggested?

(I don’t think Obama’s a secret Islamist, I just think we’ll all be under Sharia law sometime soon if this twit gets in for eight years.)
