Today in Louisiana Folks

I mean this isn't a funny story at all overall but "I have piles and piles of black friends...they use my bathroom" made me laugh. Anyway Republicans in the south are going nuts.

....that guy was a Democrat pre 2008

[OumaFan]

haha, I just put that in to mess with you. Of course they are going nuts but its not just limited to the south. I bet he was Republican on the national level, a lot of local level Dems are, or maybe he wasn't I don't know.

[OumaFan]

But seriously why would you be a Democrat and watch Bush do his best to drag the country into the dirt and then think hmm I should vote Republican?

I wonder what his motivations were

[El Kabong]

...perhaps because of Obama being half black. Doesn't seem to bother Senator Byrd who was in the KKK, he is still a Democrat

[JazMerkin]

He's right. My life has been so terrible

I think he's clearly a racist (funny how they always have 'loads of black friends' & never have 'a racist bone in their body), but in truth being mixed-race is far more complex than people think, I would say that there are definitely problems of acceptance. I think you tend to find yourself feeling more accepted by black people, but that's largely due to how society as a whole determines being 'black'. You also most certainly here black people coming out with this kind of stuff.

You certainly have to put up with bigotry from both sides a lot more, but hey if there's one thing being mixed-race does, it makes you have a sense of humour about these things. Or makes you a sociopath. I can't decide

These heartless dinosaurs are living on borrowed time now. They are all going to have one last massive attempt at controlling all of us and this planet in many different ways. Change will come, its inevitable and those who hold fast to the old dead ways will snap like brittle twigs in the new wind .
