> [@Renee](#): > > One of my husband’s facebook friends threatened to move to Canada. He appeared to be serious. I LOLed. I had a facebook friend do the same. It took all I had not to point out the stupidity of that statement. Or maybe, just maybe, these people threatening to move to Canada and Australia are just racist fucks and don’t really care about the policies. ---

Well, so far I have heard from despondent Republicans threatening to move to the following rightist paradise: South America, Canada, Norway, Australia. I am not sure they know much about those places. And I am sure people there would rather they stay home. ---

They know nothing about those places because they are insular, uninformed ignorants. I know you knew that but still had to say it. My brother-in-law up in Edmonton probably has been uttering an endless stream of “nigger”, “assassinate”, “sheeple”, “Communist” and “Nazi”. Don’t worry he has a direct line to the creator of the universe and has a cosmic understanding of his absolute righteousness. So there are some familiar things for them up here in Canada. I suggest they all come up here and stay on the couch paid for by the hard work of my sister (not his lazy ass). Maybe that would give her the courage to finally leave that psychopath. ---

One of the many benefits of growing up is realizing that presidential elections aren’t nearly as important as you think they are when you’re in your teens. Also, people say shit like this when a pitcher gives up 4 runs in the world series or when a running back fumbles the ball, so take it all with a giant grain of salt. ---

I’m not as much disapointed in the continued use of the word nigger in those tweets I expect its a shock value “hey look i’m tough” thing that scared ass white boys do to make themselves feel manly. But i’m VERY disapointed in our schools and teachers. Are you telling me that in 4 years not a single one of these assholes learned a more descriptive word than that?? They have no other way to articulate thier displeasure than that word??? thats all you have?? Our teachers have failed us. ---

> [@Dob](#): > > I’m not as much disapointed in the continued use of the word nigger in those tweets I expect its a shock value “hey look i’m tough” thing that scared ass white boys do to make themselves feel manly. Yeah. Many of the ‘nigger’ tweets acknowledged that Obama _is_ the president. Last time he was the ‘usurper.’ That’s progress, right? ---

Manliness as these SAWB’s construe it is not only racist, it’s conformist and suspicious of eloquence. Off on their own they might use epithets such as porch monkey, lawn jockey, night fighter, jigaboo, banjo-lips, or spook. But when you bro down with your fellow bigots, it’s nigger or nothin’.
