i see folks with long cars and fine clothes, that’s why they’re called the smarter set

So there I am, out and about as my typical Sunday routine dictates when I found myself confronted with the despicable reality that racism is still very much alive and well in this country. I had been having a rather okay day, actually, when what do I see but this woman, this vile white woman (i.e. cracker), walking around the Wal-Mart in a t-shirt that read “Obama for Change.”

Now you know me, Internet, and how I tend to be rather cool-headed when it comes to things like this. Cool-headed Jeremy, that’s what you call me. But I get so pissed off when that kind of bigoted garbage is thrown in my face that remaining calm is a challenge to say the least.

The audacity of this woman to suggest that Barrack Obama is black and therefore poor and needs to beg for change… it’s that kind of blunt prejudice that just makes me sick, you know?

Hey, bigot! It’s 2008, and there are plenty of successful African Americans out there. Just look at Oprah. Or Bill Cosby, or the Fresh Prince or that guy who plays Stanley from “the Office.”

Get your backwards ass out of the 60’s.

Well done, Jeremy. I see what you did there.

I just hate racist crackers....and I'm a cracker myself.

So, funny post and I enjoyed the malaprop issue altogether.

I'm right there with you. There's nothing quite like racism to make me lose my cool and get all niggerish.

oh, and Jeremy? If you want to stop bumping up against the crackers, you might wanna consider shopping anywhere but the Wal-mart. Just...anywhere.

I thought it was SMOOTH hand Jeremy, at least it felt that way to me.

And Obama does not want change; bills only you cheap bastards. Now that OTHER Obama will take whatever he can get. WMD do not come cheap.

too bad pacquaio isn't black; that would expand your list considerably.
