"'Carpentersville Trustee Linda Ramirez Sliwinski ticketed for calling 'boys' in tree 'monkeys'', slurs the Chicago Tribue,' according to a report in the Chicago Tribue.

The editor of the Tribune was forced by the editor of the Tribune to resign today after the disparaging racist remarks were printed. "Boys" is noted as a racist slur directed towards African Americans. "We apologize for ever allowing this racist editor to work for the Chicago Tribune," says the editor of the Chicago Tribune.

The Chicago Tribune has endorsed Barack Obama, who has so far refused to denounce and reject the Chicago Tribune."

1. Not funny.

2. I don't think it's funny at all.

And I think you'd have a different reaction if you or your kids had ever experienced that as a racialized insult, meant to demean you on the basis of your race, which you and your cousins obviously haven't.

3. I have experienced vile racism first hand.

My family grew up black when segregation was in full effect. And I don't find your posts funny.

4. Uh huh.

Is your family aware of the ridiculous argument you're trying to make?

5. And what argument would that be?

That you're a jerk? You're doing a good job of making that argument all by yourself.
