What did they say? Are they voting for Obama?:lol
As someone who was taught to question everything and who would frequently find himself fighting violently over social issues such as racism, I'm not sure how to handle these discussions, especially seeing as how it's hurled forth by family, not random knuckleheads in the streets. So, I tend to simply fade out of the discussion and find some empty corner somewhere.
My mom's mom is racist and I don't think she realizes it. For Thanksgiving last year she's going on and on about how her old church got a black pastor when the white pastor left and how she doesn't understand why they had to get a negro pastor. She must have said negro like 30 times in 10 minutes, my cousin and I had to go get a drink in the kitchen cause we were about to die of laughter. My family mostly smiles and nods at her though but it's still awkward.
Well, I'd honestly appreciate it if it was veiled at this point. But seeing as how the entire family is white, blunt racially charged comments are much enjoyed. And then you have the deeply honest racism, like when my sister-in-law came to visit The Big City and said that she had parked the car in a safe area. Really, safe around here? Oh yeah, it was safe because there were white people around. :wtf
So in the end, this whole Muslim deal, it's all because he's not white. And Clinton sucks because her husband got a blowjob from an intern. Never mind that these characters actually took their bible buses to visit Bush's Michigan rallies (and now feel jilted because he hadn't been perfectly honest to them), now McCain is where it's at. Old and white, that's what they want.My mom's mom is racist and I don't think she realizes it.

See, that's the honest, old racism I'm talking about. It's so genuine that it's hard to even criticize it.
It's gonna be so awesome when Obama wins and these people have to deal with the fact that a black dude is their President. HAW HAW RACISTS!:lol :lol

It's gonna be so awesome IF Obama wins and these people have to deal with the fact that a black dude is their President. HAW HAW RACISTS!
I live in NYC; people around the office talk about Obama becoming President and enslaving the white race too, but here they mean it as a good thing.
I'm also in NYC, so it's mostly one-sided, towards the left. It makes for pretty boring discussions, as everyone is just agreeing with each other.
i always think "who are all these narrowminded dumb people that show up in polls? I don't know any"
Wrong, I apparently know tons of them. I'd just never heard them talk about politics
republicans don't like McCain. after the primaries are over and Obama's the nominee, you'll see a fucking smackdown on him. white moderates will run to Obama's side and racists will be too ashamed to vote. it's going to be a landslide.
if a racist started talking to me about white becoming slaves once Obama becomes president, I'd point out that that's not really an issue until we get a hispanic president.
It's pretty disconcerting when someone who seems pretty sane casually reveals themselves to be a 9/11 truther or something like that.You have no idea how strange I felt when I asked to use a coworkers phone and I opened it up to see a picture of the twin towers with a bald eagle and faded flag in the background.
If you're going to be a crazy person, you should have the decency to act and dress like a crazy person, says I.
I try not to associate with dumb people as much as possible. If there's a person I like that I suspect is dumb I never have any serious conversations with them and just laugh about stuff like farts instead.
Farts are funny as shit. Audible shit.
No way. You cant light farts. wtf
