Queue my response comment that leads to another political thread and a bunch of meandering on political issues and the climate of relations/politics in American society.

Yep, my work here is done. :cool:

lol - so we're to believe that Hallmark dubbed black whores as ominous? I mean, out of all the verbiage to insult another race they chose... ominous?

This just brings into my focus my ongoing legal battle Crack-whore Barrel. I will have my lifetime free pancakes!!

Okay... no, stupid card idea in the first place... it's not intentionally racist, but it's also a crap idea from the start... I mean, the solar system doesn't have black holes in it! What the hell? Just a big void of intelligence here is all I see...

I just saw this card in Walmart and I would have bought it if it weren't $9.00. It clearly says BLACK HOLES.

It's OK Mo, it's a black lad underneath the clown makeup.

I could tell that just from the video.

I went back and listened to this even closer and I heard even more "L" sounds replaced with "R" sounds. I believe now that it says "Brack whores". The Oriental community is the real victim here.

Some people have way to much free time on their hands.I hear if you play the message backwards it tells you to worship Satan and kill yourself.:rolleyes:

[Bruiser235]

Nah, it's not racist. Just stupid and annoying. People need to focus on what's important, like Kate Gosselin and Lady Gaga!

Any graduate beyond the level of nursery school should be insulted to receive that card. No child left behind indeed.
