"I never connected," she told the newspaper. "It was just food to me. It didn't mean anything else."

Why does it not surprise me that this junk originated in central California? How any smart minded centrist Republican can stand with the GOP through this election cycle with their head high is beyond me.

Originally Posted By DyGDisney I do have to say, I found this to be quite funny, "Lane Bryant Unveils new plus size body bag collection just in time for store shooting." I guess I have a warped sense of humor.

So yes, it's definately a racist website.< Good Times wassetin Cabrini Green Housing Complex inm Chicago ( remember the EL inthe opening scenes ) - but I thinkthe Kool aid refers to what his followers are drinking - or else there's some explaining to do in my house - we always drank Kool Aid
Originally Posted By WorldDisney ^^No, kool Aid is a ghetto stereotype, specifically cherry and grape flavors, something that a lot of Black people like to drink alot. Trust me, I know.....we couldn't get enough of it back in Compton lol.

Originally Posted By mele Of course, many people drink Kool-Aid but it's definitely a stereotype, especially added to fried chicken, ribs, and watermelon. Really, this is disgusting.
Originally Posted By wonderingalice I was appalled when I got a copy of it in e-mail (person who sent it is from the South, if that says anything). Immediately deleted the thing. Then, I got a second e-mail that was even worse (if that's possible). I'm going to describe it here, but it's not possible to describe my reaction when I saw it. It really was painful. You guys may or may not have seen it, too... I'm thinking you haven't since no one else has mentioned the atrocity. It's a Photoshop creation featuring a grinning "Sarah Palin" having her pumps shined by "Barack Obama," who's down on one knee. Awful. Not one bit funny. I was beyond embarrassed by the behavior of the person who sent it to me (a former coworker).
Originally Posted By WorldDisney ^^It's sad Alice what people think is 'funny' huh? I admit, I'm pretty thick skinned, this stuff doesnt bother me. Truth is I guess this stuff isnt shocking when you grew being the target of a lot of it, but I'm still surprised in 2008, even though its more frowned upon today and people are more PC, it shows over and over again once you are in the santity of your home, things are still pretty much the same way as they were forty years ago. And because of the internet now, people feel more free to exhibit their racism and ignorance safely and anonmously from a computer.

The Internet can be a fantastic place, but it has certainly enabled mankind to become very two-faced.
