That’s only because “Burning Flags” makes a lousy FR nick. ;’)
WEll here in this county when one hears that word “ghetto trash” it usually means someone living in the housing projects here. Since our county is still about 96% white most of those folks are white too but by using ghetto trash you cover everyone.
I sent it to digg.com. Not sure if I want to post it to my Facebook page tho.
Wrong? How dare you say my sarcasm is wrong!! Sarcasm is always right!! Do I really need the /sarc tag on obvious sarcasm?
LOL!!
You can call me "whitey" and it is a compliment, it does not hurt
But why do certain ethnic/racial groups get all excited if you call them names that they call themselves ?
are they ashamed of the general character traits that their group exhibits ?
Oh my, you called me a ----- !
How horrible, don't call me that !
or
Oh my, you called me a ------ !
why thank you, the group that you identified me with has earned the distinction of honor, I'll take that as a compliment
Some terms were meant as derogatory. Others were just descriptive. I always wondered where the term “wop” came from. It literally means “without papers”.
Oh, how I liked the one about Hurricane Katrina and blaming
Bush for the poorly run state and city that were controlled (and have been for decades) by DimocRATS.
Right, hope you didn't think that I was implying that they did. Ghettos existed throughout Europe where there was anti-semetism.
An interesting factoid, Jews used to dominate the sport of Basketball.
(FR...) A Web site where the Obama family is called 'street ghetto trash' (The Daily Voice July 13, 2009 Dr. Christopher J. Metzler, associate dean at Georgetown University)
The people who yell the loudest are usually the most guilty. I had a girlfriend once who was extremely jealous and possessive, if a woman so much as looked at me. Guess what she ended up doing to me.....same thing here.
drudge would run it because he was slammed as well
great idea
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, as of 2007, the white population of the U.S. was 80%.
My my my........have ANY of you noticed....she asks oh so stupidly....that this junk is now back, thanks to the DNC, libs, and 0’b supporters?
We were all done with this prior to that last election...
I think he actually did mean county.
But it would be a great name for a (left-wing) band!
Or, a conservative band, if the cover art for the CD shows one or more of the commie flags burning. :’)
The N-word is not part of my vocabulary. Of course I ain’t a liberal.
Ya....whatever “Thompson”.....if THAT’S your real name!
