Interracial couple denied marriage license in Louisiana

There is a sophisticated racism nowadays that is not so blatant. You can be working with one side by side everyday and not detect it. This kind of racist has a superiority/inferiority belief about a group/groups, but will make exceptions for individuals of those groups if they do not behave in the stereotypical fashion of that group. If for example, a white guys dates a black girl; he thinks he's not racist because of that one relationship. But he could be dating her because she doesn't "act black."

That always got me. What does "act black" mean?
That is the most annoying part is getting stereotyped.
I found the one's most insecure with their ethics or life were always the one saying you don't "act {insert stereotype here}"

Rashida Jones is hot, I think. I had no idea she is Quincy Jones' daughter.

I didn't know that until just recently either. If I was going to guess her ethnic background, I probably wouldn't have guessed that her dad was African American.

Her sister Kidada is hot as well.....



And here's both girls with dad......

There's a clip on YouTube called "Racism At The Bus Stop," which uses humor to tackle this very issue. For some reason whenever I post a YT clip from this PC it never comes out right, so if you want to check out the clip you can search for the title there. Actually, the entire channel has funny clips dealing with racism.

Is this the one?

Well, some of them are lame. And stereotypical themselves.
The one about the elevator, the dude is some stager getting in alone in an elevator with another person. One should always be cautious about that. Always.

Of course. Last week there were two articles in The NY Times about our First Lady's roots. Mrs. Obama's great great great grandfather was a white slave owner. It was sad to read. Mrs. Obama didn't comment on the findings.

Yeah. That's how most people of African decent made it to America. Most the indians died off from disease so they had to bring Africans here to work the plantations. The British, the Spanish, and The French were all using slave African labor all over in the Americas and Caribean. If slavery wasn't going on, most the black people would still be in Africa other than the ones who migrated here later after slavery. So yup, I'm sure Mrs. Obama's acestors were slaves like most black Americans. Can't blame me, my ancestors were vikings and we only used white slaves 1000 years ago.

Slavery still goes on. It's more rampant than people think.

Boy oh Boy.
Reminds me of the Nixon I'm not a crook line.


GeeZ. They even use my bathroom.
You know he scrubs the hell out of it afterwards.



And can NO one else marry these people down there?

When Mariah Carey became big with her first album, Jet Magazine or Essence had Mariah Carey on the cover withthe headline "Why She Looks White and Sounds (or was it Sings?) Black."

I had a conversation recently, I had went through an interview about a year ago and I was told to mention certain aspects of my heritage that really should not come into play. I was like naw, I don't need that boast. After, I didn't get it and I audited the program against the same program in other sections. Yea, blatant racism in play.
Very vague on purpose. (sorry)
I went back and mentioned the aspects and asked her if that was enough. It was shameful her deceit. Sometimes being able to read people is annoying.

Where is the problem?
Forced labour is a global problem, although some regions have larger numbers of people affected than others. The regional distribution of forced labour is:

Asia and Pacific: 9,490,000 (77%)
Latin America: 1,320,000 (11%)
Sub-Saharan Africa: 660,000 (5%)
Industrialised countries: 360,000 (3%)
Middle East and North Africa: 260,000 (2%)
Transition countries: 210,000 (2%)

That was kinda odd.
But hey, I don't let anyone use my bathroom equally, maybe female can. But a guy, even ones I kinda know, they use the other one.

Wow, just wow..

It cracks me up that the judge says he has "piles of" black friends and allows them to use his bathroom. Can we use "pile" as a unit of measure when referring to human beings?

Apparently, we can.

Well, for blacks, anyway.

Ooer missus!



Cheers! :bottle:

The Nazi's had "piles" of Jews.

The minister is just your typical backwoods Hillbilly racist. Guess he figures blacks aren't part of "gods" people...

Reverend Dip is a poor excuse for a human being...
