I'm guessing Adelsen didn't see " The Help". Maybe Michelle should bake him some brownies?
Well, if you had bothered to read the book, you would know it was a chocolate pie.

That's right- you gotta with them darkies ever minute, else they'll steal ya blind!!! Hyuck, hyuck, hyuck...

Man, it is RIGHT UNDER THE SURFACE with these people, isn't it?

This link being an obvious reminder of the Clintons really makes me wonder. If the Libs were the ones that were color blind, why would they see racism "right under the surface" of everything. A comment like this is offensive to me but wasn't made by a conservative, obviously.

Yeah, they're just borrowing from Lee Atwater's infamous "Southern Strategy", where you don't right out say things like the "N Word", but instead you just speak in "code" and "dog whistles" that say much the same thing.

For example like Gingrich calling Obama "the food-stamp president", or Trump labeling him a "Kenyan", or Romney's previous catchphrase, borrowed almost word-for-word from the KKK, "Keep America for America". Which has now been replaced by Romney's "Barack Obama Isn't Working" campaign (aka, "Obama's a Lazy Negro").

They won't give it a rest because they themselves are the real racists. Get used to it, this is what you'll get from the modern left. Actually, it's what we've always gotten from the left. That's why so many of them are on my ignore list.

Just because someone says something about a black person, doesn't mean they are racist. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't.

That is very true, what you stated. However nothing even in a joke can be said these days about a black person, without the nature of what is being said, is slanted a racist comment.

You notice, how hardly any comedians make or poke fun of Obama, was not always this way with past Presidents, was it?


Why is that, and why is the media, and hollyweird, so bent on protecing Obama.

If the Obama's had been white, would that "joke" about stealing the silverware have gotten told in the first place? And would the conservatives in the audience have given it the ol' appreciative snicker-snicker, wink-nudge guffaw, like a bunch of hicks whittling' outside the country store?

That is the question you need to answer...

In November, we'll all be able to call Obama "Two Slice Barry", because he'll be eating a LOT of the key substance of that pie.
