Wait. Stop. Backup. The Black couple are the elitist ones?

[SteelPenguin]

The rich white inherited millionare couple who don't have their own recipes are the humble regular Joes, and the scrappy Black couple that built themselves up from nothing are the elitists?

:spray:

What a joke.

[elehhhhna]

1. Yep. And the jerk who's been in Washington for 40 years? He's the reformer.

lmao

[SteelPenguin]

5. Right sorry forgot that one

The inherited wealthy white guy who has been part of the washington establishment for 30+ years is the regular joe reformer.

The well off black guy who built himself up from nothing, and just got to washington is the elitist insider...

Makes total sense.

[polichick]

2. Hey, they're "movin' on up!"

What a riot that Michelle said the "whitey" stuff sounds like something George Jefferson would say!!

[ingac70]

3. Yep. That's how they tried to play it in the primary too...

Except it was compared to the ex-President and First Lady. :rofl:

[madaboutharry]

4. It is rather twisted logic.

Cindy McCain is an heiress, daughter of a beer baron.

Michelle Obama's father was a laborer. When she went to Princeton, the mother of her assigned roommate went to the housing office and demanded that her daughter be given a new roommate. She couldn't think of her daughter sharing a room with a black girl.

[SteelPenguin]

6. See...Michelle Obama is elitist!

She leveraged her race to get a single room in college. What an elitist!

[Yavin4]

27. Didn't Work for Me When I Went To School

I had asshole roommates.

[NatBurner]

7. baffling, isn't it? i just finished paying my student loans off

not too long ago myself, so i guess i'm an elitist too?

[Ian_rd]

8. Black elitists have been keeping us down for hundreds of years!

And I'm sick of it! in the 1800s whites and blacks lived in harmony! Until the ungrateful blacks called our working relationship "slavery" and destroyed the South's economy for spite! So greedy! Ever since, they have kept down the poor white man from their ebony towers of effete snobbery! We must fight back!

:D

[NatBurner]

10. lol-reparations now!!!

[Alter Ego]

15. Why am I channeling Dave Chappelle right now?

"Now yer lookin' at the world's richest MAN! AND I'M BLACK! KISS MY BLACK ASS, AMERICA!"

[Ian_rd]

19. Haha! Tron!

"Ahm reeeeeich beyatch!"

[shadowknows69]

9. Yes, welcome to bizarro world

Put on your coat and leave as soon as possible.

[stray cat]

11. yes - the ones that just paid off their student loans and don't have rich parents

[Zenmaster]

12. Not only that...

They want to paint him as the elitist AND as the "muslim savage". They haven't decided which one is more effective yet, so they're sticking to both contentions.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

13. They successfully painted G.W.B as a southern cowboy average joe.

So...

[Alter Ego]

14. Yep.

At least in Bizarro World.

And in the media.

[libnnc]

16. I know, right? It's complete insanity

I just want to throw myself off the nearest cliff sometimes.

:crazy:

[crankychatter]

17. this is a two edged sword - preying upon the fears and prejudices of Whites AND Blacks

My AA friends, especially the more mature... retain some resentment towards Black folk that "make it" and forget where they came from. NONE of them feel this way about the Obamas, given their dedication to community and church.

That doesn't stop the smear machine from trying though, eh?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

18. Uh huh.

[blondeatlast]

20. The filthy rich white couple who live behind gates in at least 3 homes in Phoenix alone, you mean.

Yeppers, they're just like you 'n me, buddy.

[Lucky 13]

21. We better help put those uppity black folk in their place!

[underpants]

22. I just can't figure out what is taking McHundred so long to put on a cowboy hat

:shrug:

[electron_blue]

23. I love how you put this.

[smoogatz]

24. Didn't you get the memo? ALL successful, smart Democrats are elitist.

The only way not to be elitist is to be dumb, poor and/or Republican. If you're Republican you can be the millionaire son of a former U.S. President, go to Andover, Yale and Harvard Business while affecting a fake Texas drawl, then spend most of your life living off your Grandaddy's Nazi war-machine trust fund, doing nothing but drinking Jack Daniels and snorting coke off the tits of Houston hookers while never working a day in your life except for fucking up a few pretend jobs that your Daddy's cronies set up for you and still be a "regular guy." But the black kid raised by a single parent? He doesn't fit in at the non-existent Applebee's salad bar, I'm afraid.

[unblock]

25. in this case, "elitist" is code for "uppity".

how can rich white people be "uppity"?


otherwise it's code for "liberal", which they STILL think is a bad word.

[uponit7771]

26. Rich white men are the new black these days if you listen to most GOPers

[Doctor_J]

28. Yes, the couple that worked their way up from single-parent homes,

public schools, put themselves through school, and both worked to afford one home are more elitist than the last-in-his-class admiral's kid who lost 5 airplanes and his home-wrecking wife who inherited 100 million dollars.

What, you don't get it?
