Wait, how is "Obongo" racist? I'm not saying I've used it innocently or anything, so much as I've never seen it and it makes no sense to me as anything let alone a racial slur.

To me it sounds like the kind of name people give to monkeys. ("That's Obongo, our rhesus monkey from West Africa") But the other explanations make more sense than that.

Paternity Fraud Is Worse Than Rape

quote:

To me the word rape has just about lost all of its meaning. Thanks to feminists and the “rape culture” propaganda it has been devalued and now I get very suspicious whenever I hear that someone was a “rape” victim. However, one thing that has never lost its impact on me is hearing about paternity fraud. This always angers me because I know these men will never get the justice real rape victims can hope to receive. I believe paternity fraud is in many ways a far more sinister, long lasting, humiliating and painful act than rape yet no one seems to see the polarization of how each of these crimes are treated and viewed by society at large.

Also, from that "Things Women Do That Should Be Shamed" article:

quote:

10. Birth control, because it’s “their choice.” Meanwhile, men have no reliable forms of birth control apart from condoms, which if the girl is evil enough, can easily be rendered null. Let’s nuke the funding to Planned Parenthood (and the multiple options of female birth control) and instead put that money into research for a real male birth control. How many girls do you really think are responsible enough to take the pill every day at the same time?

Which is extremely funny because they have both pills and injections in testing phases right now, and several patented in several countries (including the USA). They just haven't left the testing phase for the USA.

If anything they should be pushing the US to finish the trials rather than complain that women have "all the power" when it comes to contraceptive.

While changing my cover photo today, I noticed I had two 'followers'. They're people who can see my public posts on their walls without being my friend. I decided to check them out. One of them is a pretty cool woman, can't see where she lives, but her page is in Arabic. I don't mind her, I've met some really interesting people around the world through Facebook groups because we've had public posts and ended up looking at each other's photos then chatting and becoming friends.

Then I checked the other person, and well :stare:





Guy sure is hung up on being offended by black people. What else?



Not surprised, but hahahaha.



Publicly liking Facebook porn pages, very classy. ( I edited the one pic, her hand-bra was barely covering anything plus she looks way young)



Most of his 'profile pics' are like this. Bonus hypocritical sex-shaming of daughters while publicly jerking it to 18 year olds.

No anonymity because it's all public. I have no idea why he's following a self-proclaimed Libtard like me, and I wish I could just block him without having to make everything private. I like making overseas friends, but that only happens when they can see my stuff. :(

No, that's not how they see it at all. They're saying "Yes, I do think it's right to discriminate on the basis of race, because some races actually are better than others." To them, racism isn't an illogical bias. Since they believe other races are inherently inferior, they think that non-racists are just pretending (or erroneously believe) that everyone's the same even though it's clearly not true.

Basically they see a statement like "Black people are as intelligent and capable as white people and should have all the same rights and responsibilities." as being essentially equivalent to "Children are as intelligent and capable as adults and should have all the same rights and responsibilities." and coming from that belief, racism is just seeing the world as it is and acting accordingly.

Yeah I really don;t think it's any deeper than "it sounds Booga Booga African-y so that's what we'll call him." Like imagine a cartoon character that's black, wears a loincloth, has a bone through his nose, carries around a carved wooden staff, and a bunch of other tribalish African stereotypes - what would you name him? Something like Obongo, probably.

The article is laughably :tinfoil: and the comments are just hilarious. I tried to Google it to see if there was any truth to it or refutation, or any reputable news media (aka "lamestream media") reports on it, but all I found was more tinfoil hat goodness. There is legitimate legislation being discussed regarding the collection of DNA, but this is the first I've heard of it in the form of a checkpoint where they're paying you for your DNA sample. My gut reaction is that it's BS, but is there any hope that my friend isn't actually crazy?

I had thought it was completely made up, but there was a bit on the news (Philly) the other night about some people being arrested for it, so now I'm not sure. My assumption is some idiots saw the articles and decided to emulate it. It was all Jewish people, so still plenty racist.

I love how that's a perfect example of someone who clings so hard to their delusions that they ignore the obvious evidence right in front of them. Yep, no doubt in Obama's America you'd get arrested for shooting one of those kids. Definitely the impression I get after reading that article where the kid who got shot is in jail and the guy who shot him isn't.

One of the possible ways of treating syphilis is by intentionally infecting the sufferer with malaria. The body reacts by inducing an extreme and extended fever which kills off the syphilis and then the malaria is treated through other working methods.

So using one deadly disease to 'combat' another is not entirely unfounded.

Article:http://www.local10.com/news/africanamerican-girl-faces-expulsion-over-natural-hair/-/1717324/23165492/-/eo6hiz/-/index.html

So what's the issue? As usual, a sensational headline totally misrepresents the facts of the story - the issue the girl had with the school had nothing to do with race and everything to do with her not adhering to the school's dress code. But what does the headline lead off with? "AFRICAN AMERICAN GIRL faces expulsion". That makes it sound like the school administrators busted up in the classroom, pointing at her and yelling "YOU! Girl with the NAPPY HAIR! You have no place touting that poo poo here, GET OUT!!!"

What really happened is that the school determined her hair to be a "distraction" as per the school dress code, gave her a week to cut it in some way to adhere, or ask that she please not return if she refuses. Noth. Ing. To. Do. With. Race. But since the article presented it that way, people are up in arms, as you can see in the comments, likely reacting by gut rather than reading anything more than the headline.

Maybe the dress code is stupid. That could certainly be argued. But I'm certain some white girl with a big curly mess would be told the same thing. And by the way, all she has to do is cut it or style it differently and suddenly the problem goes away!

I'm usually not on this side of things - the "hey white people have this problem too! So there's no racism!" side - but seriously goddamnit, there's REAL racism we should be angry about, and this isn't helping.

From what I understand about this case (and it might be wrong), the girl complained about bullying and that's when the school claimed her hair was a distraction. And, I should note, the girl was wearing her hair naturally. She didn't style it or dye it in any crazy fashion. It was just her hair.
