I really could care less if you call the President an ahole. I don't think that is racist. In my first post in this thread I didn't support calling the President GW bush trailer trash or a hillbilly or a hick. Because you know, those have racial connotations. Granted there are a lot of black, Hispanic, and some Asian hillbillies and hicks (I've seen em) doesn't mean that these terms are applied inferring racial affiliation. Inferring is the key word. And it is all about how you present them. Very few words are just out and out not racist. But when you actually use them in a sentence, you can infer things.

Quiz
Example:
"Man I sure do hate welfare queens. Sucking up all our resources and spitting future criminals out without knowing who the daddy is." What is inferred here?

"Man I sure do hate these racist teabaggers. They should go back to their trailer park where their sister/wife is waiting for them in a moo-moo." What is inferred here?

"Man I sure do hate our president. He is from Kenya and his mom is a ****. He's the affirmative action president. I blame him for everything that has been building up to this moment since the 70s." Whats inferred here.

"Man I sure hate all those "youths" and France burning stuff to the ground. Hooray diversity. Don't you just love the religion of peace."

"Nothing good ever comes from Africa. They should thank white people from taking them out of the stone age." I'm white so I can take claim to all the wondrous inventions that maybe 100 people created throughout the course of history. Black people suck." What's inferred here?

"Man I sure do hate all these H1b1 visa holders. They take our jobs and head back to their country after 5 years and take even more of our jobs with them. Well at least they are not Mexican." What's inferred here?

Through my short time on this particular sub forum. These posts have been made and legions of people have defended them for having no racial connotations whatsoever. Think its kinda of funny actually. People don't come to this board to learn. They come to this board to spout off FEELINGS and their personal thoughts. They didn't come to be corrected. F*CK correction! This is the internet!

Being offended doesnt mean its racial. I have no problem what so ever having conversations with individuals of other ethnic backgrounds because I dont treat people of color any differently than I would a caucasian. I wouldnt call a black man a ghetto goon because I wouldnt call a white man one. Are you telling me you change how you speak depending on who you speak to and that you would have no problem calling a white individual a ghetto goon but would hold back because you were speaking to someone black? I somehow dobt that.

Fantastic, all of you people can sit together and curtail your discussion based upon the race of the individual that you are talking to, but again, thats your problem, not mine. I choose to treat everyone EQUALLY because I'm not a racist like so many left wingers on this thread.

Then you havent read the thread very well because these left wingers all think simply calling the president a name = racist. I ignored the rest of your babble because its meaningless and doesnt equate to the thread nor the definition of the terminology "ghetto goon"..

So why would someone call the President, who does not and has never exhibited any remotely close to anything ghetto, a ghetto goon?

In other news the "White flash mob" thread got deleted within 30 minutes. Meanwhile "black flash mob" threads last until another "race" thread pops up and goes on for 30 some odd pages.

For the same reason someone would call the President an ahole, or called Bush a Nazi.
