Well I'd say rather than being a culture in it's infancy, ours is still inside the womb. It is still being formed, it is not a single whole entity just yet, nobody can deny it. I don't know why people get so defensive about it. It in no way indicates it's inferior as far as cultures go, it just says something about its current age, that's all.

And as I said, those factors like the continual influx of new cultures are still dragging it behind too, preventing it from coalescing properly.

Comrades,

It has become clear to the central committee that those of you who have outsourced your thinking functions to the Party (which is all of you if you know what's good for you) may not have been properly conditioned prepared to recognize racism in all its ugly disguises.  This Communique is designed to help those who need to improve these skills.

Being against ObamaCare is racist.  This includes any of the 63 or so bills currently being considered by the Party.

Worrying about the deficit is racist, unless you blame it on Bush (41 or 43) or Reagan, whose fault(s) it really is.

Failure to acknowledge the reality of global warming climate change is racist.

Laughing at Chicago not receiving the 2016 Olympic Games which are rightfully hers theirs is racist.  So is hinting, suggesting, implying, imagining or thinking that this failure is Obama's fault.

Attending the 2016 games in Rio is NOT racist as long as attendance is accompanied by constant grumbling and muttering about how the games were stolen from Chicago.

Not laughing at Janeane Gawdawfulo is racist.  Unless she is being serious at the time, then it becomes racist to laugh.  Not knowing the difference is racist.

Not buying a new car from GM or Chrysler is NOT racist, unless you bought one from Ford, Toyota, Hyundai, Nissan, etc, etc, instead.
~
Listening to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glen Beck, et al, is also NOT racist unless the listening is performed WITHOUT screaming and yelling of denounciations at the TV, radio or other electronic device which is broadcasting the program.  NO exception is made for driving a car, handling nitroglycerin, performing brain surgery, etc.  FAILURE to denouce is racist.

Wanting a tax cut is racist, as is remembering that Obama promised you one last year.

Praising any former President except Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton is racist.

Worrying about terrorist attacks freedom-fighter outbursts of enthusiasm of an explosive nature on American soil is racist.  Remembering 9/11 is NOT racist as long as you acknowledge it was Amerikka's fault.

Speculating about Iran creating a nuclear weapon is racist.  Unless Obama announces they have one, in which case remembering a time when Iran didn't have one is racist.

Discussing what any general or military expert says about the Afghanistan conflict unpleasantness is racist, unless it is made clear they are idiots for disagreeing with Obama.  If they disagree with Obama, that is.  But they probably will.  And that's racist.

Saying or thinking the 2009 Stimulus Plan is a failure is racist.  Mentioning the current unemployment rate is NOT racist as long as one also mentions that it would be higher without the Stimulus.

Finding old graphs about unemployment rate predictions from early 2009 is racist, unless you turn them upside down.

Wondering if all of the stuff the Party and it's paid hacks honorable surrogates say is racist is really racist IS RACIST!  The wondering, that is.

Failure to self-loathe is racist.

Not supporting the Mainstream Media is racist.  Wondering if newspapers and broadcast TV news is obsolete is racist.  Including FOX News in "broadcast TV news" is racist.

Failure to take it seriously when a TV commentator or newspaper columnist wonders if something is racist is racist.   

Attending a "Tea Party" is racist, unless it happens to really involve tea and is held in someone's home.  And nothing is said about Obama.  Unless it's in the nature of "How great he is!"  Otherwise, it's racist.

Mentioning ACORN is racist.  Unless it's to solicit funds for their legal defense fund lawsuits against various and sundry racists.

Black people African-Americans People of Color are the truest arbiters of racism.  If a Person of Color says something is racist, then it is racist.

Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Clarence Thomas, et al, are NOT people of color.  But they are racists.

Talking of Presidential Approval Polls is racist.  Unless we get back to over 60%, then not talking of Presidential Approval Polls is racist.

Any statement concerning the size of the First Lady's butt is racist, unless accompanied by the phrase "I wish I could look that good" or the like.  Even if you're not a womyn.

Watching something else when Obama is on TV is racist.

Not knowing something is racist is racist.

Failure to read this communique is racist.

Thinking these guidelines are silly is racist.

Agreeing with me is racist.

Yep.



Yanks love lecturing to other nations about the evils of racism almost as much as they love setting the standard and practising it themselves.

It comes down to the fact that Americans are ultra sensitive about racism and political correctness. We don't need usually to microanalyse spontaneous utterances unless we have a hidden agenda.

The same thing goes for some personal relationships. As long as everything is going smoothly, unintended innuendos are overlooked. But as soon as things get strained, watch out.  The most subtle unintended inflection or figure of speech gets churned around by the female anima, randomly processed then hurled back in material form (usually crockery etc)

If that was politically incorrect, blame it on my gonads.

- but seriously some people on this forum are getting pretty close to the line. We do actually have legislation to protect people from racial and religious vilification, much as some may not like it.  One person came very close to being taken to court for racist remarks on this forum - something than can totally ruin your day. The legislation is slightly different in different states, but this is the excerpt from the current Queensland Act:

I'm probably already on the SPLC's hate list already!
