Breaking Media, Politicians & Celebrities Since 1995

Barack Obama favors Curious George in every respect, except the curious part.

Have your people’s physical attributes compared to monkeys ( when they are not, they are humans who do the same thing as every other person does) ever since they arrived in this country and see how nice it feels. It is not a nice thing , it was meant to offend . Since when does someone’s hair and smile being compared to a monkey’s, come as a compliment ?
Obama does not look like a monkey any more than McCain does. When will we be able to get past this racist name- calling and offending ?
And another thing, if it offends someone, stop doing it and be considerate. Blacks have been ridiculed since they were brought to the U.S against their will. They were supposedly not as smart as whites, their black skin was not attractive, etc…. enough is enough !

In practice in the UK, where English and Democracy were invented, regarding the Freedom of speech and anything else JS Mill’s harm principle is involved.

You can say or do what you like until it affects anyone else, or your liberty ends where someone else’s begins.

In practice you can say what you like until you offend someone.

That’s why we close down Nazi hate websites while they get protected in the US as they worry about an amendment in a document in which it’s clearly stated that it can be changed at any time due to circumstances (like with the first amendment, lol).

Nowadays people seem to think that they can be as offensive/racist as they like and then go on about “breaching my freedom of speech” like on the Sun website, when we don’t have any, and if you don’t like it you can go back to America, or rather their television where they get their constitutional ideas from.

Also in the UK it’s all about intent. Looks like the intent (on the Tee) is to offend, and if enough people get offended and protest, then the state (in the UK) would have to take that on board, that’s called flexibility and common sense, something obviously lacking in other climes. This is how it’s ok to have George Bush as a monkey and not with the T Shirt, because as soon as someone feels racially offended, then they are. It’s very simple, unless you are a Simian yourself, perhaps.

Language-wise, politically and constitutionally when I see what our cousins get up to and the silly knots they get themselves in I feel like Charlton Heston in Planet of the Apes in that scene when he realises that he was on Earth all along and not a planet of Savage Apes “My God, they blew it up, they blew it uuuuup!”

Well I’ll go to the foot of our stairs! Someone understands!!!!

You do have the right to freely express yourself. However, it is what it is. all of you who think that this t-shirt is not racist are in denial . You have the right to be racist. Don’t hide behind freedom of expression. Take a stand and say “yes i am a racist”, and this t-shirt validates it.

The white race is always creating Racial issues and excusing it, simply because they can. African Americans are suppose to be the ignorent race , according to White’s. When you look at the big picture, Whites are afraid of the fact that African Americans are intelligent and if given the opportunity, can do a better job then the white man. According to the ignorent Idiot that made the T-Shirt, all race’s can be ignorent from time to time even if you are a sucessful resturant owner .

I am only speaking of the white race that behave in an ignorent manner, such as the resturant owner with the Monkey T-Shirt. I know all whites do not behave this way. I also believe that there are some white’s that would like to express the same thing but, can not because of the position they hold. The resturant owner felt like what he did was alright, this guy is a resturant owner , He had to have known that this would start a racial outbreak. This white man felt his skin color would justify his ignorence as well as that crap about, this was not a racial attack. It is, what it is , a racial attack. There is so much pressure on African American men to be role models for our younger African American male’s and then, here comes the white man , setting an example for the younger white male’s that, it is okay to attack the African American race mentally , physically and or ,Politically. In respond to these attack’s ,the African American is labeled ,agressive and out of control. If whites would stop creating a hostile environment we would be okay. Barak Obama should not be attacked because some white’s are afraid that we may have an African American as president. If you take a look at African American history, both politically and non-politically, African American’s do not go around starting racial wars unless a wrong is being done to the African American race. White people, stop your madness, if you are going to continue to throw stones , please expect them to be thrown back at you. I suggest that you move out of the way if an African American is throwing the stone because, an African American aim is a little more accurate these days, they will ,get their point across, for example, keep watching Barak ,our future President.

Tex, I don’t think anyone believes ALL whites have tried for generations to teach their children not to be racist. Just as I don’t think anyone believes that ALL blacks teach their kids to be racists. That is really a far fetched statement as well as the rest of your comments. Hispanics are not coming, they are already here as well as many other cultures. We live in a diverse America. I embrace it and love it. I have friends of all various cultures and live in a multi-cultural neighborhood. It’s time for us to stop all of this illogical nonsense, try understanding each other and work together.

Your statement, “Time to get a backbone, a job, a clue and stop crying about everything that “offends” you!” allows us to see your stereotypical assumption that African-Americans don’t have a backbone, don’t work, and keep crying about everything that offends them.

Hmmm…you seem to be the one who is also crying , offended and pointing the finger. So I think it is fair to say it goes both ways. All of us Americans need to grow up.

Tex, I can see you are as bitter as the people you talk about and blaming others for your own failings. Please grow up. We are One Blood. That’s the way God created us so lets stop the madness and become a true United States of America.

God Bless America and Other Countries Aound the World too!

Did someone say that English and Democracy were invented in England? I’ll give you the English part, even though you still put that unsightly “u” in the word “color” for unknown reasons. But democracy? Maybe you’re referring to Locke or another *philosopher*… but as always, Americans beat you to the punch when it came to actually doing something about it. The British think of things first occasionally, but Americans generally are the men of action and the ones who get everything done for the world.

So you’re welcome for getting rid of Hitler for you, and for getting rid of the Soviets for you… just let us know next time you need us to contain these European threats for you since y’all are incapable of taking care of yourselves. Mmmmkay?

(Oh yeah, and the shirt is pretty racist. The guy selling them is well-known for his ultra-conservative views and racist comments in the past, too. Does it reflect on all Americans? No more than those racist “hooligans” fighting in the streets at England’s soccer matches reflect on all Britons.)

Hay bit#h Ahsley we int one blood you idiot.We may all bleed red but its what in the blood that matters DNA.God created us differently and if he wanted us to look the same he would have craeted us the same.A cat,dog both bleed red but dose that make them my equal of course not.

We each race has tons of differences our blood is obvously not the same because if it was we would all look alike.We would all have the same DNA,we would all have the same skin,hair,eyes and the same smartness & body structure.We’re not the same wether it be God or Evolution we were created differently in different parts of the world.

And grow up you black losers dam get a life you homo thugs,really!!!.

There are these same Tee-Shirts for George Bush camreing him to a monkey,Yet no one complains.So ether get over it or shut the hell up no one wants to hear your sack of garbage or your cry of racism.The fact Obama has goten this far winning 90% white states and the fact that 97% of blacks vote for Obama.This only concludes the only racist here in de United States is yo ignorant ass negroes.

Also the laws founed by the American founders do not aply to blacks,because when this nation was founded blacks we’re looked at as humans.They we’re not even human citizens of the USA untill the 1870s.So there for theses human laws that men we’re created equall dose not aply to what was looked at as non-men or non-humans.The original law dose not apply to blacks because they we’re never seen as humans or even citizens untill the 1870s.

So what if the same comment was said about Bush. George Bush is a white man he did not have to endure being hung from trees and treated like an animal by the white man. Hell his ancestors where doing the hanging. You people make these comments yet you have not had to fight for your rights. You could always drink from any water fountain, you could always sit anywhere on the bus. White people ,you have not had to fight for much at all but ,here we are in 2008 and we are still having to fight for the right to be equal and not discriminated against. The T-Shirt was racist and as long as white people put us in the position to fight for equality then we will. We are tired of defending our race but if we stop, you ignorent white people will think it is still okay to treat and talk to us any way that you like and that is not going to happen until ,white people stop attacking African American,s. White people are angry people and once again create hostile environments and until you except the fact that we are not going any where we will always be in your face everytime you make the wrong move.

Tex,

Whites create hostile environments but the anger between the two are equal. Some whites helped fight for African American rights but have you ever had to fight for your right as a white person to sit in the front of a bus or to vote, to drink from a water fountain. Did you have to be in the house at a certain time or you will find yourself hanging from a tree? No white man, you have not. For these reasons and many more, white people, back off because we will fight back. As for opportunity, yes we have been given the opportunity to suceed and you have African Americans that took advantage of the opportunity and you have those that did not. Why some African Americans did not take advantage of the opportunity could be ten to thousands of reasons just like,all white’s do not take advantage of opportunities that are given to them as well. There are whites that live just as bad if not worse then African Americans what is there excuse? Tex, all races are struggling even the white race and that is why I do not understand why you white people attack African American’s when we come up. I have meet angry white men and women that have attacked me because of my skin color . Tex, the attacks take place against in all races now day’s. My point is white people stop attacking African American’s, creating a hostile environment. You white people have ran the country for so long , look at it. We still have racisum, We allow hate crime to continue, your white KKK is still in existance, we have white on white crime as well as black on black crime but you white people are still focused on attacking African Americans. Why, white people why? Enough is enough. My point is as long as the white man continues his ignorent behavior we will never move forward. Who cares at this point who started it my question is will it ever stop? Barak Obama for president.

Africa,

You make some good points.

Tell me this; What is Barak Obama going to do to further the Black race?
How are things going to change and get better for you, and Blacks in general, if he gets in office?

Personally, I think it’s high time for a third party in this country. Unfortunately, the Democrats and Republicans will attack any new party with such vengeance that they’ll drop out before the election occurs.

Praise the Lord and pass the mescaline!

Tex,

Who knows what Obama will do, who new we would be at war with Irac? I know what Obama is talking about doing. I am not for him because he is African American, I am for him because he is speaking on change for all races. Why not give Obama a chance to do what all Presidents of the United states do,either screw it up or actually change things. Obama being president does not mean life will be easier for African Americans, I have control of my life, I can make it easy or hard on myself, depending on how I deal with, what ever society bring my way. I believe change is passed on from generation to generation. If I teach my children to hate then they will hate, if I teach my children how to be rational and ethical, they will be rational and ethical. I favor Obama because he has not pull ed the race card everytime he has defended himself, according to Obama he is focused on change for all America. One race attacking the other race should be a thing of the past. One nation under god ,not one race under god. Keeping it real, we will always have hate in the United States but, how you deal with hate, make the diffrence.

In regards to the war in Iraq;

Screw ‘em! They’ve had it coming for years. I only wish we would have used tactical nukes to save some of our troops lives. Furthermore, anyone who thinks that we weren’t going into Iraq to oust Saddam sooner or later is delusional and I’d like to sell you some lake front property in downtown Dallas. I hope we stay in Iraq forever. It’s a lovely place. Besides, I want those filthy Iraqis to start coughing up some of that “Texas Tea” for repayment on their war debt. They owe us, big time!

I don’t expect any retorts from any of you Britts. You did the same thing for centuries.

Bullocks!
