No such myth exists for white people. Get it now?[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Ridge;29283327]How is it any different from this? [img_thumb]http://doctorbulldog.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/bush_monkey_face-copy.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] hi i'm ridge and how the hell do you read threads?
[QUOTE=Ridge;29283327]How is it any different from this? [img_thumb]http://doctorbulldog.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/bush_monkey_face-copy.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] Bush isn't part of a race that has been routinely oppressed for hundreds of years and has only relatively recently dropped the whole "less evolved" belief about them. And there aren't people who think he's uncivilized and / or inferior just because of his race. They think he's uncivilized and / or inferior because he's a dumbass.

[QUOTE=Ridge;29283327]How is it any different from this? [img_thumb]http://doctorbulldog.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/bush_monkey_face-copy.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] because not one person in the history of time has ever asserted that george bush is a lesser life form not to say it isn't a dumb joke and whoever made it shouldn't be tossed in a bin with all of the other useless political satirists it's the same as the difference between calling a black man "a big nosed money hoarder bent on destroying the country" and calling a jewish man such not really sure why im bothering to explain subtext to you though considering it's obviously one of the many things you'd like to pretend doesn't exist
[QUOTE=TH89;29282122]Comparing a white dude who is renowned for being dumb and poorly-spoken to a monkey is a very different thing from comparing a black dude who is known for his intellect and speaking ability to a monkey.[/QUOTE] Even listening on a neutral stance, none of Obama's speeches have seemed that good to me. Lots of words with little substance.
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;29283435]because not one person in the history of time has ever asserted that george bush is a lesser life form [/QUOTE] george bush is white. there's a difference I don't understand why this is so hard to grasp
[QUOTE=Ridge;29283635]Even listening on a neutral stance[/QUOTE] don't insult my intelligence please
[QUOTE=Sanius;29283639]george bush is white. there's a difference I don't understand why this is so hard to grasp[/QUOTE] i wasn't being sarcastic and again ridge, the point your head
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;29283961]i wasn't being sarcastic [/QUOTE] uh okay people treated george bush like he was a lower life form all the time
[QUOTE=Sanius;29283639]george bush is white. there's a difference I don't understand why this is so hard to grasp[/QUOTE] Why you bringing race into this?
[QUOTE=Ridge;29284061]Why you bringing race into this?[/QUOTE] the whole discussion is about race you pillock I give up
[QUOTE=Ridge;29284061]Why you bringing race into this?[/QUOTE] Look, even if you ignore the race part, the guy who did it to Bush is also an idiot who used ad hominem or maybe just wanted some laughs. No need to push the point.
[QUOTE=Ridge;29283635]Even listening on a neutral stance, none of Obama's speeches have seemed that good to me. Lots of words with little substance.[/QUOTE] Why do you think he's been so successful? He can say a lot without really saying much.
[QUOTE=Ridge;29284061]Why you bringing race into this?[/QUOTE] Because saying that people of African descent are "monkeys" or descended from them is commonly used as a racist taunt against them.
I can't wait for a bad photo of a republican to come out so I can see you guys rebel against the dirt-bag democrat that was responsible for it.
[QUOTE=TH89;29281848]Like clockwork! Is there a book of "excuses for racists" that all these people have, or what?[/QUOTE] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/silverpatronus/whiteliberalbingo.gif[/img] Heh, she got two at the top. Didn't think this could actually be used on someone.
except race doesn't technically exist :colbert: it was an ideology created to divide based on skin colour
[QUOTE=thisispain;29284895]except race doesn't technically exist :colbert: it was an ideology created to divide based on skin colour[/QUOTE] I think the implication of the bingo square is to dismiss racial inequalities
the "bingo square" needs to be more clear
[QUOTE=Pace.;29284225]Why do you think he's been so successful? He can say a lot without really saying much.[/QUOTE] I think he's successful because the majority of Americans are idiots.
[QUOTE=NotoriousSpy;29284716]I can't wait for a bad photo of a republican to come out so I can see you guys rebel against the dirt-bag democrat that was responsible for it.[/QUOTE] no one says dirt bag we say stupid fucking retards if you're going to be sarcastic at least get the vernacular right
[QUOTE=Prismatex;29284537]Because saying that people of African descent are "monkeys" or descended from them is commonly used as a racist taunt against them.[/QUOTE] News to me. And my grandfather was an Irish cop in Chicago in the 50s and 60s.
[QUOTE=Ridge;29284932]I think he's successful because the majority of Americans are idiots.[/QUOTE] coming from you i think that's a compliment
[QUOTE=Ridge;29284932]I think he's successful because the majority of Americans are idiots.[/QUOTE] look who's talking
[QUOTE=Ridge;29284943]News to me.[/QUOTE] are you fucking kidding me
[QUOTE=Ridge;29284943]News to me. And my grandfather was an Irish cop in Chicago in the 50s and 60s.[/QUOTE] . . . What?
