Obama Bucks

yeah we as a society should just ignore racism, it'll go away on its own.

Because BG's General Discussion Forum does such a great job at combating racism? Basically, someone sees a stereotype of black people, then they bring it here for everyone to turn around into a stereotype of rednecks, Republicans, etc.

I mean seriously, is that your argument? That I think we should ignore racism as a society? My Stretch Armstrong would shit himself if he read that.

So what about all the sexist stuff? I can think of the Palin thing "My is so hot" or w/e it was.

[Demosthenes11]

"Palin is a cunt" is funny but Obama bucks aren't?

They're both hilarious, stop kidding yourselves and get a sense of humor

[Beckwin]

guys

there's a difference between internet nerd photoshops and organized political groups.

please tell me you see this.

Maybe by who does it but they still reach the same people.

[Beckwin]

yes, because internet photoshops so frequently end up on newsletters that go out to families/old people and get passed around at official functions.

stop spinning.

[Demosthenes11]

It's not like people don't know he's black.
You think putting Obama's head next to fried chicken and kool-aide is gonna make people say "OH GOD ITS A NEGRO" and not vote for him?
It's a joke in bad taste. Out of bounds for the organization? probably.
Funny? you bet your ass.
Gonna print me some

Well in that case quit bitching about a newsletter that probably 100 people read.

Racist things can be funny and funny things can be racist. The internets is allowed to laugh at anything thanks to the magic of anonymity, and none of us have any obligation to either object to or defend the actions of anyone out there in dirty old RL.

That being said, someone is indeed terrible at photoshop. And they appear to have spent approximately 12 seconds selecting their racist images.

[Correction]

Sexist = LOL

Racist = BAD BOO HISS

I have to wonder where this flood of sexist election material is, because apart from the Penthouse movie I haven't seen any lampooning of Palin that didn't center around her own personal public gaffes, instead focusing on the fact that she's a woman.

Katie Couric didn't follow Barack Obama around for three days and watch him buy watermelon, kool-aid and fried chicken with food stamps.

[Remyo]

beckwin is racist.

[Charla]

beckwin is racist.

Haven't you heard? The whole internet is racist!

[Rhinox]

Conservatives being blatantly racist? Say it aint so! Whoda thunk it.

Just need Churchill making Anti-Semitic remarks for this thread to be complete.

[Beckwin]

imagine the (justified) outrage if a democratic organization had a cartoon of palin birthing a legion of retarded babies.

[Lordender]

obama bucks, and obama's favorite song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb_XDw51D6c

So, you aren't mad that certain people find it funny, but are more angry that it was an organization that put out the image? Because you seemed to get a real kick out of this:

(From the Palin thread)

ok, this is from the random image thread, but it needs to be seen here:

that just fucking dwarfed any humor contributions I've made to this topic holy shit rofl

[Melchiah]

stop trying to justify this george wallace bullshit.

I suspect you know very little about George Wallace.

Like I've been saying, there's a place (on the internet or in comedy clubs) for racist/sexist/etc humor. Organized politics (you know, something generally to be taken seriously) is not that place. Glad you're putting two and two together.
