Yeah, clearly those american fags need to play better.

Supposedly a guy set up a Twitter account for his dad and told him that's where he types to search Google. I think it's complete bullshit because how does that even make sense? Did he set up some sort of script to actually pass what he types onto Google? Otherwise wouldn't the dad realize after like 3 of them that nothing was coming up?

I heard a guy at the mower shop say "how many Polacks does it take . . . " as sort of a self-deprecatory comment on how he was having a problem with fixing his throttle cable. I was taken aback.

I've heard my dad say that, too. Even among Polacks, Polish jokes are mostly seen as harmless. I can't tell you how many "Polish Coffee Mugs" my grandmother had. (They have the handle on the inside.)

When I was a kid, my dad had a bright orange shirt that read something like:

I'M PROUD TO BE

A POLOK
A POLICK
A POLLOCK

POLISH

I didn't get it when I was little, but now it kind of makes me chuckle. Not because it's a funny joke, but because it's odd to picture my dad wearing such a goofy shirt. I'd bet money his mother bought it for him.

Well, yeah, I'm not about to tell Polish people they can't call themselves polacks. Some of my best friends are polacks. It's just been a long time since I've heard it - I've become accustomed to the more cutting edge racist/sexist/etc-ist remarks.

OT - from a friend's FB wall:

I have a personal reason for asking if everyone could put this as their status for one hour. I'm pretty sure I know the ones who will. Think of someone you know or love who has had cancer. My wish is that in 2011 a cure will be found. Will you post it for one hour to honor those who have fought or are fighting cancer? I hope to see it in your status.

I know plenty of people who have had or currently have cancer, and quite frankly you can go to hell. My wish is that a cure will be found, too - and won't it be interesting if one cure is found for all the different kinds of cancer - but I don't see how posting on FB will help deliver one. Don't try to guilt me into this.

Copy this and put it in your status if you know someone or have heard of someone who knows someone or have heard of someone who may know someone, or if you dont know anyone or even if you have just heard of someone who doesn’t know anyone then do still copy this…most people wont, buts its important to spread the message..oh yeah and the hearts ♥ ♥ for fucks sake dont forget the hearts ♥ ♥

Of course I get plenty of the other kind too.

I'm including this one because it's just so bizarre.

Dear President Obama:
 
I am writing today with a somewhat unusual request.  First and foremost, I will be asking that you return America to its August 20th, 1959 borders so that Hawaii is no longer a state and you are no longer a citizen.

I had a lengthy conversation today with my mother about how I should get a land line so that I don't have to use my cancer-causing cell phone all the time.

This conversation took place while we were both on our cell phones.

I was using a headset.

She wasn't.

Also, she refuses to believe science, but instead refutes my citation of the actual WHO report in question with anecdotes from the network news.

Today my boss (who is black) forced me to say "nigger babies" in regard to a conversation about those horrible licorice candies.

[jay-ell]

Not kosher!

Today my boss (who is black) forced me to say "nigger babies" in regard to a conversation about those horrible licorice candies.

For some reason I had to sit and look at that and really take it all in.

[theinevitable]

there are frequent conversations among my coworkers about how they do not care if white people say the N word, and slavery is over so get over it. I am not sure how someone who lives in St Louis can think there are no more race problems in America.

Shit I see at work and what the fuck is this:

there is this guy who comes in sometimes. He has the thing going on where he is black, but has patches of white/lighter skin all over his body. What is the deal with that?

...but that is not the part I can't handle. What I can't handle is that he wears the same brown (almost exact same color as his skin tone) t-shirt every day, and his face/head and t-shirt are splotched with a gross orange-y pigment. It makes it look like someone dumped a bunch of bleach on his head, bleaching both his shirt and skin. What the fuck?

Where is the like button on this message board?

Yeah, my boss most definitely doesn't think race problems are not an issue - very much the opposite.  She was just having a laugh at my expense "now will you say it?  Say it now...."  further discussion about horrible racism, followed by her grabbing me and saying "now say it!"  I finally did.  She explained that where she's from (Caribbean islands) they had a sort of nut that everyone called "n-words."

It's that I basically never use harsh language at work.  Everyone gets all excited when I say "fuck" which is pretty hilarious.  If only they could have seen me at the HIV clinic where every second word I uttered was fuck.  I mentioned to a group of coworkers who were apologizing to me for swearing that I used to swear like a sailor, but they were really surprised by that.   It's the most respectful environment I've ever worked in (genuine respect, not PC bullshit) so I suppose that why I used such respectful language most of the time.

A dude's skin condition is unecessarily complicating Dan's views on racial politics.
