I wouldn't. Nope, nuh uh, not me. I'd point and say "that's the motherfucker! No not that one, the one next to him talking about 'change' every damn day."

In Texas, yes, but in Philadelphia...not so much.

Who gives a shit what color he is? Either you agree with his ideas, his politics and/or his vision or you don't. Get the fuck over his color people - Geez what friggin century are we living in.

classicman · 10-20-2008, 11:43 AM

lol! I heard that too.

Cicero · 10-20-2008, 01:35 PM

We'll leave it to Michael Jackson to be white....Obama is black. k? He is an African American, and so is my nephew. And you know how lily white my ass is...My nephew will always be seen as black, especially since he's always around people that are so damned white. No matter where he is he will look black. (unless it's pitch black outside)

My nephew is black irish in the real sense of the word.

But black he is..and unlike Michael Jackson, hopefully black he will remain.

He's my cute little mulatto. Who cares...he's cute. Mulatto is not derrogotary. He's black and white. Call him oreo if it makes you feel better. Because he's my sweet little cookie.

Ummm.

Oreo cookie is a slang term used to describe a black person who "acts white" (black on the outside, white on the inside, like an Oreo cookie), often used in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (see List of ethnic slurs)

Of course, we now have a US official calling Obama "uppity", so maybe it's time to change the definition of "acting white".

You can stick to your nick name definitions and I'll stick to mine. I can't wait for you to wikipedia chocolate chip cookie for me...How about fig newton? Can I not call him my little fig newton because in some strange culture it might be considered a sexual position? Probably, but watch me! He's my little fig newton, my little sweetheart!
plbbbt!

Yes, but if you dunk him in milk, is he less crunchy?

Cicero · 10-20-2008, 02:22 PM

I don't know. Are you? Let's test and find out shall we? That's awesome....

I do hear that milk baths are great for your skin...So please test this out and report back your findings.

Shame on McCain and Palin for using an old code word for black

Quote:

By Lewis Diuguid, Kansas City Star Editorial Page columnist

The "socialist" label that Sen. John McCain and his GOP presidential running mate Sarah Palin are trying to attach to Sen. Barack Obama actually has long and very ugly historical roots.

J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI from 1924 to 1972, used the term liberally to describe African Americans who spent their lives fighting for equality.

Those freedom fighters included the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who led the Civil Rights Movement; W.E.B. Du Bois, who in 1909 helped found the NAACP which is still the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization; Paul Robeson, a famous singer, actor and political activist who in the 1930s became involved in national and international movements for better labor relations, peace and racial justice; and A. Philip Randolph, who founded and was the longtime head of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and a leading advocate for civil rights for African Americans.

McCain and Palin have simply reached back in history to use an old code word for black. It set whites apart from those deemed unAmerican and those who could not be trusted during the communism scare.

Shame on McCain and Palin.

What??? I never heard socialist referred to as code word for black. You?

glatt · 10-22-2008, 01:15 PM

Nope, not me. But then, I'm not as old as McCain is.
