Which racial slur could be posted about Obama that would get lots of rec's?

[IndianaJones]

That would not be locked down immediately?

Wow...it took a bunch of so-called liberals to convince me that homophobia is a universally accepted and embraced form of bigotry. I don't know what its like to feel lucky to be white, but man...I feel lucky to be straight in this society.

6. Twinkie is a gay slur?

I didn't rec that post because I thought it was stupid, but I had no idea Twinkie was a gay slur.

[democrattotheend]

I actually thought it was a reference to Jenna Bush (whose Secret Service code name was "Twinkie")

9. Thank you. Is "Twinkie" a homphobic slur?

I'm serious here. I've always thought a "Twinkie" was a dolt, a fool, an idiot. I've never heard the word used as a homphobic slur.

[IndieLeft]

10. No it's not. Give me a break.

14. Apparently "Twink" is gay slang that can be either neutral or derogatory

wikipedia link

"Twink is a gay slang term describing an attractive young or young-looking gay man (usually in his late teens or early twenties) with a slender build and little or no body hair."


"The term can be used in a derogatory and pejorative manner. In some cases it is a neutral descriptive term and can be contrasted with the bears"

It's up to the person posting it to say how they meant it, but I doubt many people giving it recs took it as a slur.

15. news to me too.

19. Twinkie is not a homophobic comment. It means no substance inside

hollow (with creme filling) Some of you are trying to far to create "drama."

7. Oh stop! Someone started a thread Snopes claim that the KKK supported Obama.

To the best of my knowledge THAT THREAD was not locked. Further one person responded by claiming that they would NOT be surprised if Obama was a KKK member and that he'd be the one to wear "the black sheet."

Please take off your "HRC is ALWAYS the victim" blinders?

The "inappropriate insults" (racism, sexism) go in BOTH directions.

17. This one.....

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing.

He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

18. How sweet of you to use such a Broad Brush!

I am a Proud Liberal and I use to share my life with a gay man, until he died from AIDS complications. He was my best friend, we wrote music together, we created art together, we enjoyed going to concerts, hiking, and just plain old conversation.

He lived with me and my SO, until he moved out with his BF.

I've had a lot of gay friends that also died from AIDS.

I find your post insulting, as I did the other one.
