Bin Laden Dead?

tbrr I don't think huge swathes of the left are actually immune to this bias based on race

right they hate the half of him that is white

aero I think the thing is, the partisan is so deep and omnipresent that it's pretty hard to pick out what bits *are* racist

"all these people who circulate pictures of the President as a cannibal - they're not really racist"

stfu, yes they are.

xp that's true too

no I do, that's why I used it shithead

ummm both Bush and Obama have made some bad decisions, I think the situation really made Bush look worse than he is, not to say he's not the worst president in recent memory, I'm just saying that doesn't really help your argument as all especially since obviously the people hating on Obama don't believe that; you know your opinion doesn't = fact but whatever you knew that

I mean I could start shit about how many people hate on Will Smith movies and how racist they must be while people hating on Larry the Cable Guy hate him only because he's "literally the worst", it doesn't matter how right you think you are, it's a dumb opinion to take

right but will smith is 100% black

lol

that was @ DJP but goes @ iatee too - there's some complexity but anybody who doesn't see the "he's arrogant"/"what about credit to Bush" biz as straight-up white privilege trash is kidding himself imo

k I'm not gonna argue with you because you're literally one of the worst posters on this board, not just half-one of the worst posters on this board

xp to frog

frogbs this is fucking simple. if you hate a will smith movie cause it's a shitty movie cool enuf. if you hate will smith because he's "arrogant," you're a fucking cracker. the end

What if we hate him because $cientology?

will smith seems pretty down-to-earth

for a majority-black person

'men in black' is one of the best movies of the 90s, while we're on the subject.

all that scientology stuff kind of puts me off the guy tho.

lol xps

wth is up with "it's not necessarily racist" guys on this thread - it fuckin' is - the whole "arrogance/narcissism" meme, the #1 most popular one when Obama speaks on any subject whatsoever, is your classic "shut up, black man" biz

IIRC people hated Kerry for the same reasons

I like Obama...I think he's a great speaker, but yeah bc I buy into all that shit I can see him that way, it's not really hard to see him coming off that way, his speeches don't really exude the same feelings that Clintons did

What if we hate him because $cientology?

then you're an SP and I'm gonna put out-ethics on you to the highest degree

I really hope this is for an episode of It's Always Sunny In Philidephia

The whole "arrogance/narcissism" meme, the #1 most popular one when Obama speaks on any subject whatsoever, is your classic "shut up, black man" biz

^^^ It's the "getting above himself" implication that pushes it over the cliff. It's not the ONLY manifestation of racist partisanship directed against O but it is racist for sure.

Oh hey look I'm xxxxxxxxxxp

half-zentai

people hated Kerry because he threw that little girl into a well

frogbs this is fucking simple. if you hate a will smith movie cause it's a shitty movie cool enuf. if you hate will smith because he's "arrogant," you're a fucking cracker. the end

I hate Dane Cook movies because he's arrogant, what does that make me? Since when was arrogance a "black guy" trait?

FUCKING HELL GUYS YOU HAVE YOUR SHITTY AMERICAN POLITICS TO KEEP DOING THIS RACE QUESTION BULLSHIT THREE YEARS IN. LETS JUST ENJOY THE FUCKER BEING DOWNED AFTER HE KILLED THOUSANDS AND THE RESULTING MEMES.

people hated Kerry because he threw that little girl into a well

out loud lol

a hundred memes bloom

a half-black guy trait

Man some motherfuckin' bizarro faux-naivete going on ITT.

sorry i have i run that one into the ground yet

I hate Dane Cook movies because he's arrogant, what does that make me?

Hitler

"I've never even heard this word 'uppity,' idk wtf you guys are talking about."

People hated Kerry because of his choice in swim trunks:

can we go back to bin laden jokes and funny pictures

I just posted a funny picture. Laugh, you fucker.

k I'm not gonna argue with you because you're literally one of the worst posters on this board, not just half-one of the worst posters on this board

xp to frog

yeah it is a little much to expect you to back up your arguments without resorting to name calling

i got a hotlink warning alfred!

xp alfred you gotta see what you actually did

Man some motherfuckin' bizarro faux-naivete going on ITT.

it isn't faux, this is a genuine generation gap

the problem with frogbs's viewpoint being espoused is that the people all participating in this behavior in our political arena are in my generation and older; even if you assume the biases are working themselves out of the younger generation, they are very much present in the generation currently running shit

LOL at aerosmif's Outkast zing

This thread reminds me of 1995 BBS chat lag where by the time your comment posted you were ten minutes behind in the convo!

his speeches don't really exude the same feelings that Clintons did

lolz, like "I really like power"

frogbs is cracking me up this morning, good job

all these war-on-terr'r-narrative conservatives spluttering sour grapes is like watching a bunch of robots malfunction

basically everything about pakistan freaks me out and these events aren't really helping

though here's a tyler cowen post recommending some book or other that he read in the last 45 mins

http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2011/05/pakistan-a-hard-country.html

clinton didn't have to deal with insanity like this:

before he was even elected!

did we talk about this yet

"Bin Laden is dead. I didn't kill him. Please let me sleep now."

hahaha

I mean look at Bush's speeches for example, pretty much the entire left criticized every one because he "sounded dumb and uneducated" and mispronounced words and such, now imagine he was black (or half-black, durrr), the right would throw a shitfit over something like that and we'd never get to the bottom of whatever non-issue was being debated in the first place

*tries to imagines a black republican texan president*

all these war-on-terr'r-narrative conservatives spluttering sour grapes is like watching a bunch of robots malfunction

exactly, you have to wonder if Toby Keith's gonna rally them all with another song about the red, white, and blue; "i told you you'd get a boot up your ass"

Bun B 4 President

GEE I WONDER IF THERE ARE DIFFERENT DYNAMICS AT WORK IN A BUNCH OF WHITE AMERICANS CALLING A BLACK GUY ARROGANT THAN THERE ARE IN THE ENTIRE CIVILIZED WORLD CALLING A PRIVILEGED RICH WHITE SOUTHERN DUDE DUMB
