So sick and tired of hearing "your racist" just because a joke is cracked on the new "half" black president...

THats the biggest joke I have heard yet

STOP throwing the race card around! It doesnt work anymore!

You just did what you dont want people to do

Don't make the jokes if you can't take what people have to say about it afterward. It's very simple.

No kidding.

I see simple minds cant read between the lines

Yeppers if you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen.

I am a fan of bad jokes.

I am also a firm believer that what someone finds funny can be revealing.

It can also lead to greater understanding as well.

Much humor, especially observational humor, makes fun of people and their behaviors.

So, given all that I have to ask. If the president was a white southerner would you have posted his picture on a food stamp card?

Here is why I say that.

According to statistics from the Census Bureau and Department of Health and Human Services, nearly 9 million children on welfare in 1995 were White, the statistics show, compared to 4.8 million Black children. Here's some more info for you. The typical child on Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) is White and lives in the rural South, Appalachia or the downtrodden areas of major cities.

So, instead of a black guy from Hawaii on the food stamp card a more likely portrait on the card might be...perhaps Howard Baker of Tennessee?

Wow, pull the stick out. It has to be getting uncomfortable by now.

so if those stats are correct, let me fill in the other half of the equation for you.

blacks repre, excuse me, african-americans represent ~12% or 1/8 the population in America.

so if you live in the United States, you've got a 1 in 8 chance of being Black.

but if you're a child on welfare , you've got a better than 1 in 3 chance of being bla.. African-American

Wow, pull the stick out. It has to be getting uncomfortable by now.

This from the same poster who started the Why is there no white...

Your agenda is clear sir.

Yep

In my interest

Yes, I can understand why small minded hatred, finger pointing and baiting others might work for you.

Keep it up!

It reminds me why education is so important.

More posts please.

Keep in mind...I never said you were a racist you made that assumption all on your own.

Guilty much? I doubt it.

Your the typical spun one

I will keep posting as long as it helps keep you off the Oreo's!

mmm mmm mmm
ooooooooooooreooooooooooos

I would like to know why you felt the need to post a foodstamp card with Obama's face on it? It didn't say anything about being a joke, if it did I fail to see the humor in it. So explain why you posted it, you must have had something in mind.

After all other presidents would have worked just as well. So why Obama?

I didnt post that sir, take a look back. I just laughed because I thought it was funny which it is. The one with Bush on it is just as funny

racism?

Racism is so 50s...My question would be why does he feel threatened when its obvious he feels superior..Irony at its BEST..

10% of whites...35% of blacks...Jesse Jackson use to frame this debate with those kind of numbers...didn't work then...doesn't work now...

So, you didn't post the other thread, did you?

Why do you then feel such a need to defend it?

Because you thought it funny and others didn't?

Says a lot about you, and also about the one who posted it, and it isn't good.

Unless people agree with you, you don't seem to want to hear what they have to say. It doesn't work that way.
