Cheerios Ad with Biracial Family

racism is as racism does.


You support ideas based on bullshit and lies that are designed to promote racism to win votes.

Yes I know Desh. It's the same conversation with you over and over. All Democrats are good. All Republicans are bad. Republicans are racist. Democrats aren't. If you are a Republican you hate black people. You repeat it ad naseum like there are no shades of gray in anything. I understand it makes you feel good and morally superior to repeat those phrases like you do but reality isn't so black and white.
 

I am absolutely shocked that a politician would state that he hopes his opponents base won't show up to the polls on voting days.

I know the Democrats are cheering as loud as possible that those conservative Christian evangelicals have a great turnout on election day.

(For the record I think Boehner is an absolute idiot for stating it publicly but you can't claim to follow politics and then be surprised by the basis of his comments.)
 
If there are any slave masters, it's the top 1% - 10% wealthiest. I'm not sure, but given how hard the Republican Party works to protect them and their ill-gotten gains, I'd bet the vast majority of them are NOT Democrats.

Funny it is the democrats always boasting of all their wealth. You act like democrats don't like to make money and wander the earth like Jesus Christ leading lives of meager existence. What a world you have painted for yourself. Also, how are their gains "ill gotten"? Are you referring to Teddy Kennedy's daddy who made their fortune bootlegging? Those ill gotten gains? Or are you talking about Hillary Clintons awesome cattle future trades that netted her $100,000? Are you talking about Charlie Rangel and his tax evasion? Those ill gotten gains? What ill gotten gains are you referring to? Harry Reid and his shady land deals? Nazi Pelousy and her husbands sweetheart deals? Those ill gotten gains?

Let's see, what else might help the downtrodden masses, of any race? Organized labor perhaps? Just which party is most anti-union? Social safety net? Higher minimum wage? Lower student loan rate - Wait! How about PUBLICLY funded education? etc... etc... How does each party stand on these issues?

You act as if those thing don't exist today. Each and every one of them is in existence today. Where is the prosperity for blacks? Why do they have a higher unemployment rate? We spend more on public education in predominantly black cities than anywhere else. So how is funding being cut? Black Hussein Obama owns the student loans now, complain to him about student loan rates.

But, wait you'll say. It's their own fault they don't have good paying jobs. It's their fault the public education system no longer provides sufficient skills and training to do much better than flipping burgers and mowing lawns and the private education system costs too much for the poor.

In your first paragraph you said public education was the key to success, now you say it sucks and is letting them down. I agree, it is letting them down, primarily due to teachers unions. But, I digress.

Costs, you'll say? Let them take out loans that will further mortgage their futures for nonexistent or too few jobs, because we certainly don't want to provide any PUBLICLY funded jobs.

Publicly funded jobs to go with their publicly funded healthcare to go with their publicly funded cell phones to go with their publicly funded food to go with their publicly funded housing to go with their publicly funded housing. Did I miss anything? Anything you don't want publicly funded? Seems like you got em pretty dependent. Only difference between them and slaves is at least the slaves worked.

Well, except for starting and fighting wars, maybe. But, how well educated do they have to be for that? BTW, do you know the percentage rate of minorities we send into those meat grinders is far higher than in the general population? It's certainly not because minorities enjoy fighting wars that much more than their white brothers. Economics of poverty maybe?

Joining the military because of few economic options is a color blind phenomenon. That coloreds are stricken more by poverty is due to democrat policies than anything else. Look at the inner cities with the highest population of coloreds and you will see that they have been run for years by democrats from top to bottom. Yet you blame the GOP. Do you realize how backwards and nonsensical that is? Detroit? run by democrats. Philly? run by democrats. Chicago? run by democrats.

During the late laminated housing crash, did you know that black families were pushed into ruinous variable interest rate loans at a higher rate than whites irrespective of equivalent credit scores?

You folk can't seem to get your story straight, one minute the banks won't lend to them because the banks are racist and won't lend to colored folk (red lining) the next they are pushing unaffordable loans on the unsuspecting colored folk. Are you saying the colored folk are too stupid to know what was happening to them? That seems racist of you.

OH... I sort of drifted off there, didn't I? What was I responding to? Oh yes, Democrat Plantation. IF ONLY the Democrats were in charge of the plantation we are all (well, most of us) on, it certainly couldn't be any worse than the Republican Plantation we now have.

So many memes, so little time. But, never fear I am here to help. Bottom line is colored folk can keep doing what they are doing (voting for demalquedacrats) and they will keep getting what they are getting (more misery and poverty). I know the demalquedacrats like it that way, you just like to think they are on the side of the coloreds because they say all the right things and promise goodies. But, they seek only to keep them crippled and dependent thus continually voting for demalqeudacrats. Why do you think LBJ said "I will have those niggers voting democrat for 200 years" when he pushed welfare?
 
wow, way to go off-topic.

I know I'm new, but it seems like there are some posters who try to turn every thread into a racist, homophobic, or anti-choice thread. Is it just my imagination? do they have nothing else to discuss?

it is your imagination, have you met Desh? You have a lot in common.

You are both Ovarian Americans.

You are both mind numbingly stupid

You are both convinced of your own intellectual superiority.

RE: Funny it is the democrats always boasting of all their wealth

- Who? - Your source? .... And by the way, I said most. Maybe I should have said most today? I'll bet I can find party enrollment by wealth. What do you want to bet?

RE: You act as if those thing don't exist today.
- Not sure how to take your reply? Are you saying my claims are right, but you want to blame the Dems for being anti Union/Social safety net and against Higher minimum wage/Lower student loan rate/PUBLICLY funded education? Or are you saying those things are good and you agree and take ownership with the Republican positions on them?

RE: All the rest...
Typically, you want to blame Obama for not dynamiting congress into action. It's a "failure in leadership" when the Greedy Obstruction Party (GOP) stonewalls every single proposal. By Golly! HAHAHAHA.

NO, President Obama DOES NOT "own" everything that happens when he is in office. He owns what he pushes for and supports, and I'll admit I don't like all of it either. But I'm not about to give him the blame for crap he is AGAINST.

Can we go back to Race/Commercials/Mixed families or even just race in our society now?

What's with the 'colored' crap?

Thought you claimed to be beyond that?

I don't bet on the internet. No quality control. But, if you feel froggy. Jump. Knock yourself out. Go find it.

Nope. I am saying that all of those things exist today in SPADES and still there is poverty among the coloreds. Clearly they aren't working. And don't give me the "we aren't spending enough" bullshit. We are spending plenty.

Right, poor Obammy, just can't get shit done. Funny, Clinton had a Congress that hated him. He got shit done. Bush had a Congress that hated him, thought he stole an election and he got them to cut taxes and go to war. Yet your boy with all of his edumacation and book lurnin and oratorical skills just can't get shit done. Guess the white guys do it better?

NO, President Obama DOES NOT "own" everything that happens when he is in office. He owns what he pushes for and supports, and I'll admit I don't like all of it either. But I'm not about to give him the blame for crap he is AGAINST.

Yup, can't blame the brutha for anything. Hell, you fuckers are still blaming Bush, but can't give no blame to the brutha. No sir. Affirmative action at its finest.


Can we go back to Race/Commercials/Mixed families or even just race in our society now?

Sure, we can talk about race and how blacks have it pretty good today. I mean they could be back living in Africa couldn't they? Some would argue they should be thankful for slavery. As for the Cheerios flap? Don't much care either way.
 
Really? last couple presidential campaigns, the candidates were recycling either Reagan or Bush Jr. THAT's imagination? Interesting definition.

Most conservative ideas we hear have to do with going back to old ways of doing things; I look forward to hearing what new things you are coming up with.
You're going to wait a long, long time. PiMP's never had an orginal idea. He just likes to talk in circles.

lol....you mean as opposed to a full decade of "Bush's fault" and "tax and spend"?.....
 
Well, they can't lynch you for it, but there are still people who believe you should marry your own kind. Interracial marriage has only been legal in the South since 1967.

My point is, the vast majority of people who bothered to comment on that video were kids trying to get people to get all huffy. They got what they wanted. I'm not saying racism doesn't exist, only that the vast majority of those comments weren't from racists, they were from the literal definition of an internet troll.

The idea that we should take this as a representation of our society as a whole is insane.
 
It's a fucking great commercial, especially since it plays on the dick insecurities of racist puny cocked cracker ass crackers. (Note: I realize this was not General Mill's intent, but god loves the unintended consequences)

I didn't read the comments, so I am not sure how you came to your conclusions that the vast majority were kids. No one said our society as a whole, but there is still too large a segment that is prejudice towards interracial marriages.

Well everyone knows that Desh isn't one of JPPs great thinkers
 
Here's what I believe, had the commercial featured some hot ass Haley Berrie look alike as mom, and ANY white guy as dad, there wouldn't be NEARLY as many comments on Youtube. liKe Damo said, there would still be those trying to get a reaction, but show a white woman who let a black mans penis in her to conceive a child and you will get more nasty comments. Saw it in the Army all the time, white women that date black men were called all sorts of racist shit, but a black woman who dated white men got almost no shit from ANY side.
 
You know an interesting side note is that everyone is talking about the "racism" and that only white folk have a problem with biracial relationships, but it is well known that black women aren't exactly big fans of their black men seeking out white women.

This notion that it is a one way street is not only factually inaccurate, it is offensive and racist

Oh my god! Is that vintage white whine you are peddling? Yes, black woman do get pissed, but not for RACIST reasons. Black women bitch because they want a black family and too many black men have bought into the white worlds image of beauty. They are pissed because black men think if they can't have a black woman that looks like Halle, or Janet, or Beyonce, then they should move on to Susan. The anger is that black men have sold out.

ORGANISED labour helps people of any race?
Ok.
Local 233 AKA the IRISH union.
I recall an incident during the big dig, white kid attacked a black kid at work one day( white kid fucked up on coke, pills and booze.
They were both Laid off.
2 days later the white kid was back on the job.
Black kid never got work again.

The white kid is my cousin.
He is bad news, he is family, but he is bad news.
Not as bad as ORGANISED labour.
