1. That bumper sticker is actually pro-Obama....


That kind of thing HELPS him, because it reminds people of their own prejudices.

reminds people of what an asshole hillary is.

2. No matter where you draw the lines in society...
There are assholes in every group.

This is beyond tasteless.

Makes as much sense as driving around in a Klan hood in Harlem.

19. I understand just fine...
Irony, much like sarcasm, isn't always appropriate.

This is totally inappropriate.

20. How can you say you understand it when I wrote it and I'm telling you that you're misinterpreting it
That makes no sense whatsoever.

Just wondering.

15. Because the sticker is obviously meant to be ironic
And I'd hazard a guess that, even meaning it ironically, most white people would be uncomfortable driving around Oakland with that sticker.

29. yup probably real popular in Harlem too
and what makes the Black dude's day is knowing that half the white folks driving around won't even get it.

23. By the way, you do know that this is crap, and she never said anything of the sort, don't you?
Ah, shit, never mind, of course you do. (By the way, your scottie called, and asked me to mount a rescue mission. Apparently your pooch has a bullshit threshold which it declines to cross.)

Even though I think it's hilarious.

21. Guys, it's obviously meant to be a joke
It's a satirical comment on how-low-will-she-go, basically. Not to be taken seriously. Lighten up.

And btw, Oakland's a pretty enlightened place when it comes to racial matters..."America's Most Integrated City" and all that. I lived there for six months and worked there for many years, and it's a great city.
