Obama:monkey comparison = racist
Bush:monkey comparison, photos = funny
Good to see we're being progressive about equality in this country.

They're not even in the same league.
Continued historical insult towards an entire group vs. the same insult towards one...single....white president.

Sorry that I preemptively quashed the tactic that you were going to use. But "see ya"! Don't forget to clean the sand out of your ears before you punch-in for the day.

The reasoning behind the two very different jokes were....different.
Obama monkey jokes were made from a racist point of view.
Bush monkey jokes were made because he acted retarded in the public eye.
There is a key difference, one is racist and one is clearly not. If you cannot see that then you are in denial.
and you're from the "deep south" according to your location....

Black people who got annoyed at not seeing their community represented and thus wanted to create a channel for an artistic outlet when other stations were not playing things that are part of their culture, are just as racist as people calling blacks niggers and monkies, Oh yes that's some great logic there buddy.

You'd first have to assume all blacks are negroids, which they aren't... You have mongoloid looking whites (Bjork) and Caucasoid looking blacks (horn of africa)

Death threats because he's an idiot. I don't see "Romney!! Time to kill that cracker bitch!" Give me a threat like that and I will say, that displays racism.

Not so sure that racism is the same there as say... New York City. My friend lives in the south and there are oodles of racist including her family.
But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.
Obama - Half black appears mostly black
Bush - White has features similar to a monkey, not to mention how the world saw him...like a dumb chimp.
Monkey - An animal a term used towards blacks by racist people to say they are lacking intelligence and animalistic, like a monkey. Are you just willfully naive?

Horse shit... no one says only white can be racist, that's just the view of usually white people who probably believe minorities have no sense of empathy.
Also as someone said 94% of blacks voted for Clinton, so if it's all about race, why did Clinton get more black votes than well... the half black guy?
So you admit that race is grounds to treat people differently and to judge people by different standards? White people have a responsibility to be "less" racist? Does that mean it is fine for black people to be a little bit "more" racist? But wait, I thought racism was the very thing you were fighting?
Fucking idiotic hypocrisy. People who use the line of reasoning that you have shamelessly dismissed with ridicule have one thing over you, and that is that they stand for the principle of equality, whereas you are on nothing but a crusade.
"The truth, my goal."
People who lash out with words will sometimes use whatever words it will take to be most effective at offending the other.
Doesn't mean that the person is a sexist, or racist no, just mad, angry and vengeful.
Are you going to ignore the fact that 94% of blacks voted for Clinton? More than those that voted for Obama. Are you going to ignore the fact MOST BLACKS ARE DEMOCRAT AND WILL BE VOTING FOR A DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE?! Are you going to ignore the fact that minorities do not feel very comfortable in the Republican party and end up being with Democrats MOST of the time? Jeez people.
You have to ignore a shit ton of stuff to say tons of blacks voted for Obama because he's half black, not because most blacks are Democrats, not because the Republican party isn't exactly the most open but the Democrats are. It has nothing to do with politics just skin color. I mean there were also lots of white people that vote for Romney BECAUSE Obama's BLACK.

You know - most of my black friends actually have some fairly conservative views on life, they've just been trained to think that they have to vote democrat. Too bad the democratic party treats minorities like they're ignorant children incapable of thinking and acting for themselves. The black community votes democrat because the two of the foremost racists in the country (Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson) along with the NAACP have succeeding in embedding this insane victim mentality into their culture. To them - every problem, every issue and every affliction that hits the black community is because of racism; they have absolutely devoted their lives to this idea and have spent an entire generation telling people that.
For them that might be true - when they advocate giving black students extra points in college admissions solely based on their skin color I have no other way to describe that than "racist." If you want to base it on economic circumstances I think you can make a case for that, but situations in which you award people based solely on their skin color and nothing else is now fully the domain of organizations like the NAACP and the democratic party. The problem really is the older generations - people like Al Sharpton don't know how to survive without racism while my generation no longer really cares that much about it. I'm not saying it isn't there - just wildly overstated by those who want to exploit it.
Here's a shocker for you - I'm a republican and I'm not a racist...99% of us aren't either. Most democrats would like to believe that's the case either because its what they've been told their whole life or it serves their interest; but its just not true. I don't oppose 'social justice' programs because I have a racist vendetta against the black community; I oppose them because I think its dangerous to create an entire class of people who are entirely dependent on government for their livelihood. I think the country is better off as a whole when people are in control of their own destinies and lives, self-reliant and free from government telling them how to live or what to think.
So the philosophical argument I make is essentially "give a man a fish, he eats for a day....teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime." Government is the one that gives the handout, makes the individual owe something to the government and thus wields power over that person in a viscous cycle (the democratic party is doing this with the black community - lets call that a form of slavery). As a republican I advocate personal responsibility - teaching people to rely on themselves - not government programs...that's REAL freedom...but democrats seem to be afraid of this idea, probably because it undermines their whole claim to power.
Yep poor people are just like animals, great job there titan.

Also the irony here is pretty thick.You know - most of my black friends actually have some fairly conservative views on life, they've just been trained to think that they have to vote democrat.

I'm guessing this doesn't count racist blacks who expressed happiness at continuing to have a black president.
Still not seeing how its bad to be happy we finally elected a minority for president.
I love how conservatives make damn sure to hide behind the handy slogan of "personal responsibility" (because apparently that's a trait unique to them and no one else), because it's socially unacceptable and politically suicidal to blatantly admit that they have an obvious racist vendetta against the black community. As that would instantly discredit them in the eyes of most. The problem is that they damn near never make ANY legitimate attempts reach out to them. And when they do, they can't seem to do it without putting their foot in their mouth and coming off as social retards, because they're always ignorant/bigoted/condescending in their approach. Which always has the appropriate result, and causes conservatives to play the "misunderstood victim card", while making all sorts of "those poor enslaved Negroes" claims. A favorite comparison of theirs and is a claim that usually follows their ironic faux concern over liberals treating blacks like mindless children. Which has been their game play for decades, and leaves me to believe that conservatives are really just talking out of their asses, when it comes to "wanting to appeal to the majority of blacks. And recently Hispanics.
Because, let's be honest. Conservatives have failed miserably to make progress with securing the black vote for HOW many decades? Yeah, that's not the the fault of blacks. It has more to do with conservatives being crappy salesman. If I'm a salesman, I don't blame potential clients if I fail (continuously) to seal the deal with my proposals. It's the conservative party who needs obvious work. But instead of admitting and honestly attempting to correct this, the majority of your party (unlike a tiny and insignificant few who will soon be labeled as RINOs), just claims that "them blakz just don't want to understand!" The fact that conservatives could never even appeal to ultra religious blacks, who are the most conservative ones by far, shows just how off-base conservatives and their message are. Case in point to all of this....?
Exhibit A....
Oh, and...
Linking a picture of two quotes from an organization, that ignore important context, that show how you think that Food Stamp users are animals isn't a smart way to gain support with those you seek to align yourself with. This is exactly what I mean about conservatives being socially retarded. This is why you lose elections, and this is why your party is becoming increasingly irrelevant.

I'm of German ancestry, and quite proud of it.
Many of your complaints are a caused from a lack of knowledge.
I'll start with some facts.
From the US Census:
Ethnicity % of total population % with a 4 year degree White only 63.4 29.3 Black 13.1 17.7 Native persons 1.2 13 Hispanic or Latino Origin 16.7 13
So why are you complaining about a special interest group trying to equalize education?
On to entertainment, BET the dreadful Black Entertainment Television Network, which mainly focuses of Blues, R&B, and Rap. Three types of music I do not enjoy, however all three are very clearly Black, the Network is not about excluding other races but is about focusing on one thing.
Mean while what is White music?
Classical, American patriotic music, Vaudeville, European Folk Music, and Show-tunes. Would you watch a network devoted to this?
Now here is where you'll get upset especially because it is true. Types of music from America which are a Mix of black and white cultural influences. Country, Rock, Punk, All Modern music. Why, How? Lets look at the Black music types, all of which can be found natively in Africa.
Gospel, Blues, Rhythm, Rap. Gospel is just the religious version of R&B. European Music forms were focused on melody while African music focuses on Rhythm. Country music and American Folk music combined African Rhythm with European Melody. the modern music forms did this as well. What always makes me laugh is Neo-Nazi skin-heads, the type of music they listen to came from Jamaican music. Ska - was the British revision of Reggae the first people to use the Skin Head look and name were Jamaican teenagers in the UK during the 60's, the music they made became the basis for British Punk Rock. and the shaved heads, Doc Martins, and suspenders was from Ska. ... sorry Music history is fun.
Point is a White Entertainment network is redundant and boring. We already have a long list of networks which qualify.
p.s. here is an old picture of a couple of early skinheads.
