    Guerrillas In The Mist

    Bin Laden nailed it as usual with his extremely blunt language. I disagree with the general intent of his remark, but it holds a large grain of truth.

    Of course it holds a large grain of truth. "White people"* have certain characteristics and beliefs and "Black people"* have certain characteristics and beliefs. The idea of a house nigger would be absurd when applied to white folks. House cracker--come on. Sure, we have white suburban wiggers, but they don't really want to act black, they just want to piss off their parents. Just like when black kids do well at school. They don't want to learn, they just want to piss of their parents.

    This is why young white kids tend to vote democratic. They want to piss off their parents by being wiggers.

    Did you ever notice how when two or more black people get together they can't help but start singing and dancing. This is because black people are more in touch with the animal side of humanity.

    Did you ever notice how when two or more white people get together they can't help but do business with each other. This is because white people are more in touch with the civilized side of humanity.

    I am now getting sick to my stomach trying to keep this up. Baldie, I am sorry that this post quoted you, but what you said rubbed me the wrong way and if this post can't win "troll of the day" then it isn't worth winning.

    Jesus frickin christ on a popsicle stick, the concept of race is even more absurd than intelligent design. At least they don't use science as a crutch for their insanity.

    Dragging someone down the street chained to the back of a truck because they don't believe in god does not make god real.

    Kings and Queens were the names of the righteous
    but the sons of slaves are insane and we might just
    self-destruct and erupt without a chance to grow
    This ain't the days of old.

    Better wake up...
