Here's a book that my coworker wrote about kids today, and what opportunities exist in the black community

I'm a bigot for recognizing that you can't just bounce back from generations of forced, utter poverty deprivation and ignorance?

Okay.  Fine with me.

[ice grillin you]

Liberals only pretend not to be bigots when in fact they are just as, if not more, bigoted than the people they persecute for bigotry.


damn right im bigoted...im bigoted against people like you


the kkk wears three piece suits

I'm a bigot for recognizing that you can't just bounce back from generations of forced, utter poverty deprivation and ignorance?

Okay.  Fine with me.

Um, no.  You're a bigot for your exaggerative wide-spread hatred of a geographic region:

The south farging sucks and Lincoln should have let them secede.  We don't need 'em, they're a drag on the country in every goddamned way.  Higher divorce rate, higher teen pregnancy, lower literacy, higher poverty, lower education level, lower income, lower tax revenue, higher violent crime including murder and rape, etc.  farg the south.   

Do you forget that Bill Clinton is a southerner through and through and probably the biggest champion of civil rights (him or Kennedy) to live in the White House?  Speaking of poverty and low income/tax revenue... how much are you pulling in right now?

damn right im bigoted...im bigoted against people like you

You are more qualified for the KKK than I am, whitey.  You believe that because you're able to speak in "black" lingo and post a "klan hood" smilie anytime you perceive racism on a message board, you understand and empathize with the plight of certain races in this country.  You couldn't be further off.  It's people like you that form opinions in stone and are unwilling to compromise or have a thoughtful discussion that are keeping the racial divide nice and deep.  You might as well don a hood and start burning crosses on lawns, because that would help just about as much as you're helping.

[Diomedes]

Um, no.  You're a bigot for your exaggerative wide-spread hatred of a geographic region.

Oh, alright.  Well I have no objection then.  farg the South and farg you too.

[ice grillin you]

the south is just wretched,...theres no other way around it

did anyone catch that story yesterday about the high school in georgia that was bragging about having their first interracial prom this year

[Diomedes]

Yeah.  Big congrats to them.  I'm waiting for the Vermont story about that to drop any minute...

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

the south is just wretched,...theres no other way around it

Well, there is if you are willing to drop the hyperbole and accept that a ridiculous blanket statement like that makes about as much sense as your yearly dieting cycle and fashion choices.

[rjs246]

It must be nice to live far enough south to be surrounded by decent weather, polite people and good food while living far enough north to attempt to be holier-than-thou about a part of the country you know nothing about.

[Diomedes]

The weather in Baltimore sucks for half the year.  God, the summers are awful.  Luckily, I run my air conditioners full blast with the windows open, because my actions have no effect on the world, and especially not if I can afford them.

Yay personal responsibility.

farg the south.  Give it back.  Texas too.

[Rome]

I love the Jersey Shore because it's where I grew up and I love Philly because it's where I was born and where my family has lived for five generations.

Although I miss living up north because of the food, the culture, the teams I root for and my friends and family, I can honestly say that living in this part of the country is highly enjoyable.  There are coastal areas of Florida that are every bit as beautiful as the beach communities of New Jersey.  There's rolling hills in the center of the state that are excellent for hiking and biking, there's freshwater and deep sea fishing that offer countless challenges, there's golf courses galore, there's the Florida Keys which are nothing short of spectacular, there's large cities that offer opportunities to explore diverse cultures not typically found in northern cities, and at least where I live, there's a huge population of northerners who got tired of the cold and moved here.

Most of my friends here are either from New Jersey or Pennsylvania.  They moved here for the same reasons I did (better standard of living, cheaper housing, better climate, better financial opportunities) and although we all miss home, I can't say I miss it so much that I'd move back.  Eventually I'll buy a place up in New Jersey and we'll live six months there and six months here.   Then I'll have the best of both worlds.

[Wingspan]

That was breathtakingly beautiful...

[Rome]

So's my johnson...

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

So's my johnson...

Your johnson has a nappy head, ho.

Mayor Daley's Son Appointed Head Of Illinois Nepotist Party

CHICAGO—Mere weeks after his unusual mid-March graduation from Northwestern University's School of Law, Shaun Daley, son of Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley, was named chairman of the Illinois Nepotist Party Monday.

"I'm thrilled and humbled to be chosen to lead one of Chicago's most beloved and respected political organizations," said Daley, who was sworn in at his family's ancestral residence, the Chicago City Hall. "I swear to you all that I shall do my best to uphold the principles and last name that have made Chicago what it is today."

Daley vowed to use his position to combat unemployment amongst the sons and daughters of Illinois' most prominent politicians and business figures.
