If haikus are Japanese cuisine, my haikus are McDonalds.

So much is lost in the translation. Subtle layers of meaning, never to be revealed or even alluded to.

That said, I challenge anyone to find haikus in ANY language, not just Japanese, that reference the Hillary-Huma-beaver nexus. I am the master in that arena, and I exist solely to entertain my fellow FReepers.

Apparently, ethnomasochism is still not enough for 0bama’s minions. In their mind, the rest of us must be Eloi to their Morlocks..

“I apologize to anyone that felt I was out of turn. I have nothing but LOVE FOR YOU AND ALL OF US.”

What a sniveling, pathetic, self loathing, disgusting coward.

Your groveling has only just begun.

Aren’t these the same race baiters saying that blacks never get proper credit for their work? Which is it?

We had a Harry Potter haiku thread once. That was fun.

The arrogant BLM crowd feels that all Whiteys are racist, no matter what.

Again, this is why I hate Twitter so much - it gives an open forum to the dumbest people in the world to spout the dumbest inanities. The accusations here are beyond fathomable. Seriously, I have no idea what they’re complaining about.

So if you are white, only praise White Actors until you are called racist then when you praise an actor of color you are culturally appropriating....

Clear as mud, whitey can’t win...

So are the FLOTUS and her daughters. They need to quit appropriating the straight hair of Caucasian/Asian women, although the daughters may get a pass due to their white grandmother.
