24 thoughts on “If You Call Someone A Koolaid Drinker”

  2. So the Jonestown mass suicide, which was conducted via a charismatic WHITE man convincing his followers to drink poisoned kool-aid, is just something we conservatives want you to believe we’re referring to when we’re all actually using ‘drink the kool-aid’ as a racist term to undermine the current president.

    Uh-huh.

    I tried to follow their logic but I think I sprained something.

    Was ‘Drink/Drank the kool-aid’ racist before the Won got elected? ‘Cause I’m pretty sure I’ve heard that phrase used before.

  3. My (clearly doomed) submission to UD:

    1. Someone who submits a definition to Urban Dictionary that depicts a phrase having absolutely no racial origin or component, as racist.

    2. The editor at Urban Dictionary who approves such a definition.

    “Did you see what that Kool Aid drinker has to say about the phrase ‘Kool Aid drinker’? Just because the president is black somehow now, for the first time ever, it’s a racist phrase.”

  5. “Rush Limbaugh: “Those Kool Aid drinkers blindly follow Barry into his socialist hell!!”

    Dittohead 1: “Socialist Barry wasn’t born hea”

    Dittohead 2: “Barack Obama wants to enslave the who-ite race” ”

    1) The missing r in ‘hear’ some ‘editor’.

    2) The fact that ‘hear’ should be ‘here.’

    Is it rascists to call a moron a retard? Some ‘editor’.

  7. Is this some of that “Critical Theory” Bill Whittle educated us about the other day? Just say anything negative you can think of and as long as it fits the narrative, it sticks!

  8. Since when is drinking Koolaid some sort of black thing? When I was a kid (in the Seventies, a time I now look upon as an era of racial harmony compared to today) everyone drank it. It was that or Tang — sodas were considered a bit of a luxury for little kids.

  9. I first heard the term in a political context in Rush Limbaugh’s description of Democrats in 1992, apparently referring to the implosion of Clinton’s Presidential campaign he thought would occur at any moment.

  10. “The word is derived from a stereotype of African-Americans that claims African-Americans drink a disproportionate amount of Kool Aid.”

    WTF? I’m with Andrea Harris. This is a pure fabrication that someone intends to make stick by simple repitition.

  12. Actually, I think this entry is a parody of the knee-jerk racism that pervades our discourse today. What gives it away is the explanatory “The word is derived from a stereotype of African-Americans that claims African-Americans drink a disproportionate amount of Kool Aid.” There is of course no such stereotype.

    But feel free to vote thumbs down on it anyway. I did.

  13. It’s just a troll. The guy writing it is probably intended to offend a lot of people and it worked. Still is amazingly stupid. Can you imagine what other stuff this guy could do? Maybe a Darwin award is in his (short) future.

    Maybe, but it just illustrates that we’re beyond the absurd event horizon. Poe’s Law now applies to everyone.

  15. Oddly enough, I read this entry last night while I was drinking a glass of Kool-Aid. It was sugar-free, however, so maybe that doesn’t count?

  16. It was sugar-free, however, so maybe that doesn’t count?

    If you’re still alive this morning, then it didn’t “count” in the literal sense…

  17. AlexanderY a troll? Good theory, but the supposed “dittohead” quotes convince me of the vile ill will. Can you imagine how much AlexanderY had to work at becoming so stupid? What’s really frightening is people with the mentality of AlexanderY are the kind of people now at high level policy making positions inside the Obama White House.

  18. It’s a little-known fact that George III was actually of African descent and that Thomas Paine, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, et al, were not all that interested in liberty, they were just racists. And Jefferson? Don’t get me started.

  21. Mike Pucket : 1) The missing r in ‘hear’ some ‘editor’.

    Actually, I think the missing r was intentional. Pronounce “hea” as two syllables and you get an approximation of the sterotypical southern white redneck drawl. The clue is the second dittohead’s “who-ite race.”

    Though I agree with your “moron” conlclusion.

  22. I don’t know, what is the thumbs up/thumbs down thingie supposed to do? It seems to be a device for crowdsourcing reliability ratings, and looks like it might work with the bogus definition, given the prevalence of downs to ups on that ‘un compared to the others.

  24. They removed.

    That was not an attempt to sound like that guy on the Fat Albert cartoons.

    I wish this board had an edit feature.
