5 Reasons That Shouting "Racism" Doesn't Work Anymore
1. Barack Obama is President.

"There's a very simple test to see if something is racist. Just go to a heavily populated black area, and do the thing that you think isn't racist, and see if you live through it." ~ Reeve on the Clearly Racist Re-Nig Bumper Sticker and its Creator.
Re: Lawd Jesus Help Me.
I didn't even try to read the comments. I can't deal with anymore Super STOOOPID comments this week.
I am so sick of this.
Just because many people in this country aren't racist doesn't mean there are no racists or racist situations in this damned country. Shiit, we could all hold hands and sing kumbaya every fuuking morning and there would still be Klan stockpiling AKs in Idaho.
Click me, click me!
His wife just told me that they have a rule for how they co-exist without killing each other regarding political discussions. Apparently, he is using me as her surrogate because I engage in his foolishness. I am going to have to find that gif and put it on his page.
If this were my husband, you'd find this link in the divorce petition. How do you stay with and raise children with such an assbag? Or is it a luxury she has by virtue of being white?

I'm pretty white and I could not stay with somebody like this. I'm shocked they get along enough to stay married if they have such differing political views.

Does Mr Dude not realize that there are over 900 active racist/white supremism based hate groups in the US and the number keeps growing every year? And that it's grown 40% since 2000?
What a fvkcing idiot. That's not just political rhetoric - it's willful ignorance.
None of those people are racist, thought. Because we have a black president. That absolutely none of them actually voted for, but that's beside the point.
If my husband tried to convince me that any one of those reasons is why "racism doesn't work anymore", I'd have to leave him. Because it is sofluckingSTOOPID.

SOO this. Dyl and I disagree on things, even political things, but the disagreements never revolve around one of us being incredibly STUPID. If Dyl woke up one day and tried to pull this ***, I don't think I could stay married to him. 1 -because my head exploding on a regular basis could not be healthy, and 2 - I would not want to be associated with someone who could believe this idiocy.
Yay! Sisu has arrived to MISS.THE.ENTIRE.POINT.
What I want to know is how it is you eat or drink with your head so far in the sand?

KKK member Winkler running for Bonner sheriff
By KEITH KINNAIRD/Hagadone News Network
Published: Mar 16, 2012
SANDPOINT - An outspoken white supremacist who?s running for Bonner County sheriff contends his views on race will not color his approach to the office if elected.
Shaun Patrick Winkler is competing with incumbent Sheriff Daryl Wheeler and Ponderay Police Officer Tim Fry for the Republican nomination on May 15. The winner in the primary will face independent Rocky Jordan in the general election in November.
Winkler, 33, has links to the Aryan Nations and Church of Jesus Christ-Christian, and has been involved in high-profile, race-related protests in Kootenai County.
But Winkler said his motivation to run is not to advance a white supremacist agenda if he?s elected.
?Whether people will believe me or not, it will be entirely up to their own discretion,? said Winkler, a Hoodoo Valley resident.
Winkler admits his personal beliefs could cast a long shadow during the campaign. He also makes no apologies for those beliefs.
Winkler, who has not held political office in the past, said he was motivated to run because of the increasing federal reach into Bonner County. He also has hard-line stances when it comes to drugs and sex offenders.
Winkler contends not enough is being done to combat federal influence in the county or drug and sex offenses.
?I don?t look at myself as a vigilante; I look at myself as a concerned citizen,? said Winkler.
These droppings have become nothing but a source of amusement to me.
And did you know that there's salt water in the ocean?
