Moving on up

I'm protesting, but silently....and on my own.

Jimminy Christmas, I leave town for a day and it all goes to shit.

First, I agree with Chad and Wes.  I would have handled things differently, but I agree with the action taken.  We have TWO FUCKING RULES on this board, and if we start allowing shades of gray on one, where does it end?  Why does race have to be brought up at all?  What fucking difference does it make that Obama is half black?  Debate on his shitty policies and leave the color of his skin out of it.  I just don't see how it's that fucking hard.

I agree, the racist shit will be removed, if you dont like it fuck off.

Calm down Beavis.... It's been handled.   

How's RB2 going?  Any new songs?  I'll be picking up at least the guitar version along with another guitar Friday...not sure I'm buying the whole things with drums.

I'm not calming down, I just getting started.

No new songs so far this week.

Shit, I opened up a damn pandoria's box.

You don't post much anymore.  Why?  Did you get your fist stuck up your ass?

Jumbo's had some bigger things on his plate the past few months, but life has smiled upon him and the Jumbo house, so he should be back around more soon.

Italian Prime Minister gets it, the whole world just needs to relax and get a sense of humor

Racism and Politics aren't my thing. I am bored to death reading all this stupid ass shit.

So after all this discussion, can I get a ruling on this one?

[Kaos]

Here's something I found interesting. 

The Obamabill and its retraction from the site kicked off the entire debate.  Since it was pulled from the site, I have received it at least six separate times in an email. 

One was from a fairly high-ranking person in Auburn administration.
One was from a member of the UofA athletic staff.
One was from the chief executive of a small company
One was from a retired businessman.
One was from the head of a major state agency (not in Alabama or even in the South)
One was from the head of a large non-profit.


Of the people who sent me the same image that was pulled from here, two were women one was black.  None know me well enough to know my political affiliations or my attitudes toward racial issues.

Funny, but it's OK because Obama isn't the butt of a joke.

Now, check this one out. Any of you familiar with the commericals for Frankie and Johnnie's Furniture in New Orleans? When I lived in Bay St Louis, I would always get a kick out of these. This one may cross a line with some people since they use the allure of Chicken Box fried chicken to target minorities. To Frankie and Johnnie's defense, Chicken Box fried chicken is the shit.

So what about this?



And there was, again, no blackface today.  There was a bill where you couldn't see Obama (haha, because he's black).  It wasn't even that funny, it was just a play on his blackness. But because somebody had the audacity to notice he was a black man and made a funny about it, we got to have a three page epenii-induced debate. 

BTW not racist and pretty funny.

"That's C-4, dipshit. Put that back. I said a detonator! I need some dudes who speak American god dammit! He's making a fucking sweater here, I'm tryin' to put Tiger Balm on this jungle's nuts."

See, I find that even more racist than the dollar bill.  In doing the schtick, he's perpetuating every stereotype in the book.

Apparently he even stayed in character during down-time.  He would, in his character's voice, loudly proclaim that he was going back to his trailer to eat ribs.

The black folks on the set were apparently a little disturbed.

I like Downey, but I'm still up in the air about this...has the reek of a minstrel show.

I found some photos of mistrel shows during the discussion the other day.  Should I post them again for comparison?

Let's not.   I think we all know what they were.
