Black people have big butts, so butthurt hurts them more than skinny assed white people.

Of course, there are more obese white people nowadays, so the fatties get the most out of being butthurt.

No kidding. I already hate the cast of _Jersey Shore_. But should I hate oranges, too? I like oranje juice. But I’m afraid of OJ Simpson. But he’s black so I shouldn’t be afraid of him. 😕

I’m so confused. Just tell me who to hate already!

That’s 'cause the bats Ozzy ate were all vampire bats and they sucked the blood right outta him.

Wow. That would be so cool to deport a thread to another board-that’s an awesome idea. Is there some legal razzledazzle they have to do first, like strip it of it’s citizenship? Is there a ceremony, where the rip the numbers out of the header and stomp on them?

We just all sing the opening song from [BRANDED](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXlUS5-ag_g) as he does the coding then usually hit up an IHOP.

Don’t forget that Jesse Jackson hates black people.

[QUOTE=the Reverend Jesse Jackson, as quoted in US News, 3/10/96

There is nothing more painful to me … than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery, then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.  
[/QUOTE]

That racist bastard.

To be fair, I always assumed that what the Reverend meant was that he wasn’t afraid of white people because even if they were robbers, he could totally kick their asses.

No, he meant that white people might rob him but he could make them feel bad about it afterwards.

You know, I can see that with Steinbrenner, but the _whole team_? Does it stop when they traded or sent to the minors?

OK. I hate you all! You’re all mean and stupid and smell funny and listen to strange music and eat weird food and I don’t want anything to do with you ever again!  
Wait…  
Where are you all going?  
Don’t leave me.  
I’m so lonely.
