Amazing!
I may be the bastard son of a South Korean and an American soldier but even I'm a racist.
Astonishing.
I now plan to go out and find non-white people and scream invectives at them.

Want to know the real funny part? The astonishingly amusingly strange bit?
One of Obama's biggest supporters is the **Aryan Brotherhood**. That's because they think Obama is such a schmuck and a loser that having Obama win would hammer the country, and race relations, so badly that many whites will join the AB as a counter-reaction.
What an odd election year.

I've never had to worry about whether or not I was a racist.

I hope I'm not breaking any protocols here but I kinda have to include it. I like vegetarian Indian dishes but getting them has been a major pain in the rear end. Plus all the Indian restaurants around here want $20 for a quart of vegetable curry. It's crazy. It's rice, vegetables and spices. How does that add up to $20?
Anyway bought a few packages of this vegetable entree sealed in a pouch that you boil in hot water for 5 minutes and then serve. *shrug* thought it was worth a try.
It's actually pretty good. The entrees are around $2 per and you can buy them in packs of 6.

The only reason I posted this is because I finished off the last meal tonight and will be ordering from the website for more. I don't know if anybody likes vegetarian or Indian. But I thought this might be useful for someone where having some quick Indian, or Thai, would be useful. Personally I'm going to bring a few boxes to the office because they don't need refrigeration and all it takes is to warm them up in the microwave.
*shrug* if I offend anybody with this, please feel free to delete it.

Am I also a rascist because I did not eat soul food for dinner as well? Do I get partial street cred for being one-eight Cherokee?
I mean smallpox blankets should count for more than slavery surely! If we set this at eight to one, it means I have full street cred and it is therefore impossible for me to ever be a rascist!
See, lefty/fuzzy/squishy thinking does make logical sense.

And yet you felt the urge to post this... you are one complex man Rand Simberg.

Not that I'm not "complex" (whatever that means) but what in the world is your point?

My point was that for somebody who boasts of excellent reading and comprehension skills you seem to have a completely blind eye when it comes to the, perhaps unintentional, irony of what you say on here.

But then, reading comprehension has never been your strong suit, so you're probably (once again) seeing something that isn't there.

Ok I laughed hard enough to almost cough up a lung.

After all, the last actual racists with institutional power were Democrats. The Jim Crow Dems eventually died in office, in the 70s and 80s (and some made it to the 90s), but they never lost the support of their party.

Senator Byrd is still in office. He made it to the next millenium, and yep, still enjoys the support of his party.
I suspect that part of Obama's early appeal was that he seemed to represent a break from (Jesse) Jacksonian race-baiting that grossly exaggerates the prevalence of anti-black racism. But it just ain't so. He may not be as belligerent as Sharpton, and he may not have said anything as outrageous as the message in the James Byrd ad, the ugliest ad in modern US history, but he's just as much a paranoid Chicken Little on race issues as are Jesse and Al and Julian Bond and their fellow travelers.

You do know that repeating the same statement over and over doesn't make it true.
You keep protesting like this and no matter how many people say it you still claim it's not true. You aren't as clear as you think you are and haven't been for years.
In the meantime, you give me things that make me chuckle and I'll keep coming back for more.

I am in good company then.

You aren't in any company at all. No one else in this thread seems to see the mysterious irony that you imagine. Perhaps if you at least attempted to explain it to us, since you're apparently much more clever than us, we might get it.
