Overheard:
You know I’m still not voting for you, right?!
This motherfucker didn’t bring no hot sauce?!
OMFG! You only brought 20 buckets! This will NOT end well!
Grape. Grape. Grape. Fruit punch. Grape.
I’m a white guy in a congressional district where a black guy is running for representative. I wonder if he’ll take me for a ride in a minivan and offer me brie.
The flyer says “Food and Limo Ride,” and the store is “Wings and More.” I don’t think it matters what your race is, free wings sounds nice. Considering I’ve seen way more racist shit come out of LA, I’m more offended of the pandering to voters, no matter what their color is.
Ridiculous. Black people *hate *chicken wings and limousines.
What, no watermelon?
The limo better be stocked with Hennessy or I’m gonna be pissed.
Well, it does appear that Black Superman is supporting him - that’s gotta be worth something.
I…don’t understand the thread title. What does Australia have to do with anything?
Bullshit. Just the other day I saw a black guy chowing down on a limousine. And he was making those nom nom nom noises.
There was a recent thread around here asking if certain commercials that had been shown in Australia were racist.
I tried to do a search but got an error message 'cause some guy had dripped chicken grease all over the server.
Must’ve been one of those whisper Kentuckians.
Kentucky Fried Chicken had an ad in Australia recently featuring West Indies cricket fans. This was apparently racist because African Americans like chicken or something. What African Americans have to do with the West Indies and Australia I have no idea. Oh, that’s right it’s because they’re black and black people are all the same right?
And the OP is in effect labeling Australians racist in a snide way. I guess it gives him/ her the opportunity to post something they fancy with a veneer of “I don’t really like thi”.
I was referring to the current thread on the black BB player jumping in bed with the white woman commercial. I wasn’t calling Australians racist.
In that thread, people were asking about whether I expect Aussies to heed US expectations about PC/racial issues. I offer this as an example that some people in the US can’t get it right and we have a lot of black people.
Also I love chicken. It’s biologically predetermined.
If you want to see REAL racism then go to Diani beach Mombasa Kenya.
I was staying at a hotel there when the elections previous to the last were on.(Not many tourists because of the violence).
They had a theme night in the restaraunt based on the American deep South.
They had two of the staff wearing straw hats and bib overalls lying down with whisky jars pretending to be incredibly drunk supposedly being Black people south of the Mason and Dixon during the 19th c.
I couldn’t believe it !
I remember thinking that if anyone had done this in Europe there would have been riots at the very least.
Speaking of racial insensitivity and Australia, is there really a show called “Spicks and Specks”? That would never air in the US.
Spicks and Specks is a music quiz show named after a song of the same name by the Bee Gees. Spicks and specks are small bits of dirt and dust.
Google tells me spick is a derogatory term for an Hispanic, not really relevant to Australia.
Tell me, how would you feel about a show about Northern Territory wildlife workers trapping crocodiles in suburban backyards called “Septic Tanks and Crocodiles” or a game show called “Yank my Chain”?
Spicks and Specks. It’s very popular.
Why not?
That’s no black guy! That’s the Man from Mars! Watch out, next he’s gonna be eatin’ bars!
Thanks for reminding me. This belongs in the stupid Republican ideas thread. These guys really should have known better. The economy ain’t THAT bad!
