I was thinking this, but was too lazy to point it out. I am not too lazy, however, to piggyback off your comment. You know who’s bad? Coloreds. ---

Black, white, red, and yellow have already been claimed. Blue’s out because of copyright issues with the Smurfs. So I think we’re down to green, orange, or purple. Can we make it orange? I already hate orange people and racists, so if we make the racists orange, I’ll only have to work half as hard at hating people. Or we could make all the orange people racist; I’m flexible. ---

It’s 2010 and you’re saying ‘take this black stuff to Africa’? Just when you think you know some people. Though it is interesting how much the past affects the present and how ‘if poor blacks are doing it now you can guarantee rich white people will be doing it one day’. Case in point: when Nat Turner and some penniless slaves decided ‘Massa must die’ they were hanged, but today Nancy Pelosi and half the NY Democratic party are all saying the same thing. ---

Oh, you know… > [@](#): > > **Asimovian** : Sometimes, I think you white people aren’t afraid ENOUGH. I did make the mugger who was holding me at gunpoint give me back my purse. Hell, it was my favorite purse! I couldn’t believe it when I heard those words coming out of my mouth and I was thinking to myself “Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!” But there was just this high school teacher instinct in me to treat this man like I would any of my students. I can’t remember exactly what I said, but it was sort of like: “If I give you my purse, will you give it back?” I even thanked him when he returned it. ---

And you know you likes collars? Priests. And if you rearrange the letters in “priests like collars,” you get “a secret krill spoils,” which is obviously referring to that one time a raw shrimp fell between the stove and the fridge when I was making dinner and I didn’t notice it until I smelled something funky near the stove a week later, so clearly, organized religion is under the thumb of the international shellfish conspiracy. ---
