Historical Photo of all the Presidents

[True_Texan]

Because my grandmother  is Irish, Adelaide Sullivan, as I alluded to in that thread,  and so I can get away it. Also, I wasn't making fun of the Irish, I was making fun of Tom, and that's always allowed. As I said, I'm not exhibiting any great moral outrage over a harmless joke that was meant with no malice at all. All I'm saying is that all of us, particularly now, need to be mindful of the need to reach out to folks, and not inadvertantly drive them away.

Going to have to call BS on that!! Because your grandmother is Irish, you can make fun of the Irish? What kind of donkey sense does that make? That's another reason this country is getting more and more screwed up. Everyone crying for equality and at the same time saying you can't say this or that because we are different, we aren't equals. So which one is it?

The statement of "I can make fun of my own kind but you can't because you are a different ethnically then me" is one of the most racist thoughts out there. It's automatically setting up differences that get pointed out and thrown in your face. Not by the people cracking jokes or making observations, but by the people that are so concerned about everyone being a racist pig, that they themselves fail to see how stupid they really are. For example, you tell a black person they are terrible at their job, the main response you'll get is, "It's cause I'm black right?!?!" No, it's because you suck at your job. Nothing to do with skin tone.

Just so freaking sick of people too wussy and tender-footed to speak their minds, to have freeness of speech, because so many people out there are holding their race card. As soon as you say something, they hold it up, wave it in your face, and call you a racist. So big whoop-dee-freaking-do if the president is black. Haven't once seen anyone on here say they didn't like him because of the pigmentation of his skin. It's because he SUCKS at his job.

Also, during the Bush presidency, you couldn't turn on the TV without seeing someone commenting how stupid this country-bumpkin sounds when he speaks or how dumb of a redneck he is. (In case you didn't know it, redneck is a 'racist' term.)* People made jokes of all kinds at his expense. Not once did I see someone say, "HEY, you can't do that! He's WHITE!!" Tired of the double standard set by a bunch of pansies. I didn't own slaves, my dad didn't, his dad didn't and his dad before him didn't.

So to hell with anyone that says you can't make jokes about BHO "because he's black". So damn what. His skin is slightly darker then mine. He is still a damned idiot that is going to put this country so deep in a hole it won't be able to claw it's way back for a very long time. And hey, it is common sense that someone with dark skin will fade into a dark room more so then someone with lighter skin, leaving just the bright reflective spots showing prominently.

Done now. Going to find my blood pressure medicine.

What Kind of sh!t storm would it stir up if I started a network called "White Entertainment TV", a magazine called Ivory, National Association for the Advancement of White People, or a White Congressional Caucus.
Get over it, it's not like it was a picture of him in a welfare office.

The company I work for hires unlicensed personnel (those that are too dumb, too lazy, or just plain don't have enough seatime to become an officer) from a union known for what we call 'sea lawyers'. these are the ones that only work enough to keep from getting fired, send them to do a job and they do it half-assed, but they do it. majority of these dicks are looking for a free ride.. 'the chief yelled at me and I felt threatened - I'm going to sue!' I'm sure some people have worked in machinery spaces and know that you have to yell just to be heard... anyway, just before I came home our 'qmed' unlicensed person in the engine room, went home (he was black by the way) and was replaced with an older black man. well, all was well until he started the 'you're yelling at me' BS. then suggesting maybe racism because he was made to clean while the rest of us did other jobs. (that is his job... and he does have the same opportunities to get a license as the rest of us). it's amazing, the young man that he relieved did his job without complaint and would finish in a hurry so he could come help the officers and learn the job. he wants to be somebody, be an engineering officer. easy to get along with, good sense of humor and take a joke. the other fellow, well, I didn't bother talking to the dickhead. when he asked why? I told him.. your a dick. nothing racist about that. just call 'em like I see 'em. needless to say, he didn't like me. oh well. this is not the first time we've run into this mentality either,most of these guys that stir up the shit are looking for a lawsuit and a free ride or are racist themselves.

oh yeah as far as joking about the IRISH - well, they are Irish... why not? not likely we'll drive them away either, they're like bad weeds, you never get rid of them.

Just for the record, I don't believe any of us would make nasty comments about Alan Keyes, Thomas Sowell or Condy Rice. They aren't made about Colin Powell and he does not agree with us. However they got where they are because of hard work. BO got where HE is by conniving and preying on liberal white guilt and therefore will be ridiculed, insulted and demeaned on any grounds available even though it is his politics we hate for.

Alan Keys...I voted for Alan Keyes.  I still remember the Republicans excluding him from the debates.  I was in Louisiana then, we gave the first electrorial vote to a person of African heritage, Alan Keyes.

I sure would like to buy you a cup or coffee or something some day.  There is so much truth dripping out of that it hurts.

Redneck...oh yeah, we can make fun of Rednecks and put "reasonable restrictions" on Christians....I'm sure the people who decry "rights" and "equal protection" and "racism" will be right there standing up for those people's rights...oh wait...those people are the persecuters I have been deceived  .  All this BS about some redneck going crazy and taking out BHO.....look at the assassinations of the last, oh say,...50 years since hard working plain speaking people have been looked down on and...wait...it's the looney leftists that have been trying to take out presidents.  Some kind of Nazi groups bombing judges, or maybe..the well-received (by the left) eco-terrorists.

Well...thanks for calling bovine scatology on that one True Texan.

Well... that sure brought out the troops.

Now I don't want anyone to get there britches in a knot..but ...................
Lighten up guys.........it isn't like I'm wearing a new white sheet with eye holes cut out posting these things.
 jeese.. it was a joke.. 
you think I get all bent out of shape every time someone posts or chases me down to tell me a raunchy blond joke depicting me as dumb?
I mean there is all kinds of 'ethnic' jokes out there.
The blacks are the first ones to scream about racial stuff.. but seems anymore that IF you are black.. you can say anything to a white person public or private and it is fine. But a white person even mention anything that is remotely associated with a stereotype black person and we are supposed to be shot on the spot.

I have to agree with T Texan. I am really tired of.. because I am white I have to bow down and slither off in the corner every time anything of black color is mentioned. No one gets all bent out of shape on any other subject..
I am not racial against anyone..I don't care if they are black white green , yellow, red... fat, anorexic, toothless and have 2 heads and their mama is their wife and they live in Arkansas( *grinning*). I don't care..
If I see something about any of those things that are funny I'll post it or tell it. *Arkansas people ..I apologise (kind of)* 

I thought the picture was funny.(I laughed out loud in fact )  simple as that.
Sorry if I'm not political and socially correct in today's standards.  If that makes me less in anyone's eyes.....weellllll
so be it.

I'll tell you what..
 I will move it to the joke section.
( But I still got a hoot out of it)
