He's not racist. He just thinks the off-color jokes that he's repeating are funny. I wasn't too moved by "Black Jesus" until he proudly likened it to "Barack the Magic Negro." That is satire that is funnier the first time around.

On another note, calling him a "redneck pig" isn't any better. You're a white person typing to a white person but it's unnecessary to assume he's a redneck. Plus, the concept of a "racist redneck pig" is certainly a stereotype rooted in class bias.

Based on my threads and posts I've started and some of the things that I've posted on here, has given him and others the idea that I'm this stuck up, drama queen on a high horse. Well, I'm not. To me, his posts give me the idea that he's racist. He has his opinions about me based on my posts, and I'll continue to have mine about him based on his posts.

So what if I'm a white person typing to a white person. There's still a difference. He's a redneck and I'm not. He probably watches NASCAR.

Actually, I'm not a redneck at all. I don't really watch NASCAR but I will gladly go to a race every once in a while. They are pretty fun. You don't know me from Adam so let's not start the stereotyping game.

Please though. Enlighten me on how I am a racist. You just opened that bag so why don't you back yourself up.

I believe I have already stated my feelings pertaining to the color of his skin and what I think about the fact that he is the first to represent his race in the White House.

Where does all the money that the vendors make off of Obama apparel and thongs (as in panties) go?

And, this is a serious question, why did they refer to him as Barack H. Obama while being sworn in? Why leave out the middle name?

Same reason why when they introduced Bush Sr/Jr today they did the same.

Not towards a common cause unless security required all vendors be registered and licensed.

I don't know but I believe he said his middle name during the swearing in.

Same reason why don't they call him "George Walker Bush" . . . It's pretty common. Ulysses S. Grant, Lyndon B. Johnson, John F. Kennedy . . . that's kind of just the nomenclature. NOTE: Just saw you were referring to the actual swearing-in ceremony, not the general acknowledgment - he definitely said Hussein there, I read poorly.

For all the times you've tried to get others to check citations for you instead of you presenting, this is totally LOL, as the kids say.

And you don't know me from Adam, you jerk! So what gives you the idea that I'm on a high horse?

If that's what you think, keep it there. Your redneck rant was dumb.

Maybe he meant you're high and riding a horse.

I'm Greek and Italian and I find it very offensive when I hear derogatory comments about Italians. I'm sure some people of color find your comments insulting when you make comments like the ones you've just made.

Go ahead and keep bringing up my tour guide and fast food posts. That's nothing new, because you bring it up everytime you have the chance, and that's o.k. Let's just keep it even. Based your interpretation of my "fast food" and "tour guide" posts, you can continue to think I'm on a high horse, stuck up or whatever you want to think about me. Just know that based on your "Black Jesus" "negro", "malt liquor", and other unnecessary comments you've posted about people of color, I'll continue to think you're a racist, redneck pig. mkay?

What are you talking about? "Brother man"? That rings no bells to be honest. Jokes about Italians and Greeks? You're gonna have to fill me in there too. Did I say guido or something?

I'm also not sure when I talked about black people and malt liquor. If you want me to be brutally honest...I do generally associate malt liquor with black people or maybe just the hood or something like that. Sorry......I just can't get over watching DoughBoy chugging 'em down in Boyz N The Hood. I'm sure us white folk have plenty of associations with common items. I have drank a 40 or two in my day..if that is even relevant. Probably not.

I'm just giving you a hard time. Come on. Those threads you started were funny. If you think I'm a racist. So be it.

In the meantime, back to what we were discussing...something you may want to see.
