I don't really think that sticker belongs in this thread. The only possible way you could doubt the racist intent behind it is if you were blind. But even then, blind people's other senses are supposed to compensate for their lack of sight, so I'm sure some of them would pick up on the virulence with their racehate-dar.

we've already been over how this is more of a "This is racist!" thread than it's title would suggest

Yep, I've seen it all over FB the last few days. Sadly I think there are ppl in my family who would buy it without a second thought.

I mean, how about I start a thread called "Dead or Alive?" featuring 4chan gifs of russian dashboard videos and chinese crosswalk cams.
and when we get something truly gruesome, we can all go "it's a shame, just what is wrong with people?"

I remember when I was surfing the web while my wife was out of town... seems a thousand centuries ago. A friend sent me this link that he had found on an auto repair message board. There were some funny gifs of monkeys falling out of trees, a turtle biting a dog on the nuts, maybe a topless hula dancer. There was this banner of an old man with no teeth and he was crying. He couldn't see. I went back to the main menu and there was a thread called Dead or Alive? Inside were gifs J. Budd Dwyer, motorcycle accidents, a guy jumping out of a burning building and a dog licking up its own vomit. And I remember... I... I... I cried, I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out; I didn't know what I wanted to do! And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it... I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. The Horror.

Ms. Smith insisted that the bumper sticker is not racist. I asked her about the “N” word, for which “nig” is the shortened version. “According to the dictionary [the N word] does not mean black. It means a low down, lazy, sorry, low down person. That’s what the N word means.”

Ms. Smith said she is not racist, she just wants Obama out of office. She tells me she doesn’t have a preferred replacement candidate. “And besides Obama is not even black. He’s got a mixture of race. It’s his choice of what his nationality is. I’m a mixed breed. I call myself a Heinz 57,” she says, referring to an ancestry that’s part of French, Scottish, and German.

I think she is pointing out that in a post-racial world, Mr Obama is free to identify as any aspect of his heritage that he chooses. Because she is an idiot.

Is Heinz's 57th flavour all of the others mixed together? Because that is the only way that statement would make any sense.

i think of this a lot in terms of the "epistemic closure" argument from the past few years, santorum's bizarro theorizing, etc: we're in some kind of deep post-atwater universe where there are just a lot of people who are native believers of the paper-thin excuse-making bullshit pushed out by their political forbears

she's just using every single racist defense every other white person uses after they use the word. fills out the bingo card real good.

oh except this
“I do find it amazing and entertaining that one of our stickers has become a racist thing,” Ms. Smith told me. I asked her if she thought the “N” Word was a bad word? “No,” she said, ” because I don’t use it. I have kids here around me that are black kids. I call them my own kids. I’ve helped black families…to guide them in the right direction. Paintball is one of these things. We like to laugh and have a good time. That’s our way of life.”
this whole paragraph is just surreal
Paintball is one of these things. We like to laugh and have a good time.

"Heinz 57" is a colloquialism people use to refer to dogs that are no particular breed. I've heard it applied to people, but really, in the US for most people who are white you're generally considered a weirdo if you start picking apart your ancestry in serious conversation.
That is, outside of St. Patrick's Day, when that 1/16th Irish bit of you is incredibly important
