Not lumping you together with anyone as far as opinions are concerned. I just listed all the black posters I could think of off the top of my head. The idea that I "favor" some sort of black agenda is honestly comical.
Just wanted to interject in this thoroughly useless thread to point out the reverse racism on this board - despite my afro centric roots being well known amongst my fan following and regular posters, I am never referred to as African, black or biracial because of my diction, private school education and light hearted demeanour. Says a lot about the subconscious makeup of America today.
Just because a majority of Indian-Americans and Asian-Americans vote Democratic doesn't mean that they agree with every Democratic policy, and most certainly doesn't reflect anything about where they are in the left's "racial hierarchy." It simply means that the majority found more positives than negatives in voting for the Democratic candidates. (Or vice versa with Republican candidates). I am a minority and have generally voted Democrat most of my life, but I disagree with many things in the liberal platform, one of which is how they generally handle issues of race.
It's not ok to call someone chink, but it's totally ok to say let's kill all dem chinks, I mean, Chinese. The AA community's mistake is to protest against the perps. That's idiotic. Go protest in front of CPG companies (or better yet, start a movement of refusing to buy from anyone who advertises on JKS) and ABC will cave like a little b****. Why do you think chink in the armor was such a big deal? It's because BRANDS have marketing dollar at stake and don't like their new spokesperson marginalized. A call from Gatorade is more effective than 10k people gathered in front of Disney. When money talks, people listen.
Or at least encouraged. I'm always skeptical of the authenticity with any of this kids say the darndest crap stuff, from the obvious scripted ones like the current commercials with kindergarteners to this stuff. Who knows what was said to them prior.
A followup to this story. http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=846806 White House: Government can't force Jimmy Kimmel off air in response to petition Jan. 11, 2014, 11:50 AM EST WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House has responded to a petition calling for an apology and the removal of Jimmy Kimmel's television show by saying the comedian can't be forced off the air. More than 105,000 people signed the petition on the White House website. It followed an October broadcast of ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" featuring a segment in which Kimmel spoke to young children about U.S. government debt owed to China. One boy said "kill everyone in China" when Kimmel asked how the U.S. should repay China. In its response, the White House noted that ABC and Kimmel have apologized, and that the network has removed the segment from future broadcasts and its online platforms. The White House also noted that the Constitution protects free speech, even when it's offensive.
