1. most domestically raised turkeys have white feathers.

wild turkeys are the cool looking ones.

6. And smart, too, eh?

2. Does everything on DU have to be about race?

[AlCzervik]

4. Whitey's always keeping me down

Especially after I've eaten about four pounds of it, followed by sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts with prosciutto, and a big ol' slice of pumpkin pie.

3. Turkey Privilege?

10. Don't get your feathers in an uproar

[Orrex]

13. Or you'll end up down in the mouth

12. They're genetically bred that way because

when the darker feathers are plucked it leaves a dark dot and consumers prefer not to see that on their bird.
Picky - yes ?

14. I don't mean to put meaning where....

there is none, but those gross white freaks are a metaphor for what Americans do to so many things.

We take a car, and turn it into a gross parody of a car....like a Hummer.

We take beef and turn it into a fat mess, with no texture or taste.

We supersize.

The bird that Dumbya pardoned probably can't stand.

15. I think Kanye West said it best

George Bush don't like black turkeys, or something like that.
