Oreo? WTF?

[Psychoblues]

They're all pink on the inside, aren't they?

"Longtime Washington talk-show host John McLaughlin is facing fire Monday for referring to Barack Obama as an "Oreo" during a segment on his Sunday political program, "The McLaughlin Group.

The veteran Washington journalist was discussing the recent comments from the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who was caught last week by an open microphone on Fox News saying the Illinois senator is "talking down to black people" as he campaigns for the White House. Those remarks were largely seen in reference to Obama's recent admonishment at a Chicago church of some black men who he said were not living up to their responsibilities as parents.

Referencing Jackosn's comments, McLaughlin said Obama "fits the stereotype blacks once labeled as an Oreo — a black on the outside, a white on the inside."

"Does it frost Jackson, Jesse Jackson, that…an Oreo should be the beneficiary of the long civil rights struggle which Jesse Jackson spent his lifetime fighting for?" McLaughlin asked his panelists........"

I wonder how American history will record and explain the "Oreo" designation as it applies to our fellow Americans?

[actsnoblemartin]

I dont know this particular gentlemans motivation, but i talked to a black female who told me, she was called oreo as a racial slur.

I suppose one could say, a person is bi racial or like an oreo, half black half white, i dont know

Blacks hate blacks who "act white". Ask them what it means to act white. They probably won't admit to the fact that they hate blacks who have cast aside their hatred for whitey and quit using slavery and poverty as an excuse for all of their failings.

[Psychoblues]

I thinketh you took the question a little too seriously, marteen!!!!!!!!

[Sitarro]

So the term oreo is only OK when used by Democrat, black nutcases as they throw the cookies at conservative blacks such as Justice Thomas or Maryland Lt. Governor Michael Steele.......

[actsnoblemartin]

of course i did, its called asburgers :laugh2:

Your diagnosis comes in handy sometimes, doesn't it. It's nice to have a built- in excuse. :laugh2:

you might try spelling it right or is that part of the bullshit ?

Asperger's Disorder is a milder variant of Autistic Disorder

[actsnoblemartin]

sometimes its an excuse, and sometimes it does explain why things.

Its a double edge sword

oh common he is a good guy :salute:

[glockmail]

Frankly I'm shocked that McLaughlin used the term. I don't think he meant it in a rascist fashion, but it makes him an easy target for those who wish to label him.

[actsnoblemartin]

I dont appreciate your BLATANT dis-respect.

I'm sorry you couldn't tell i was saying that tongue in cheek to pb, but you dont have to be an asshole about it :poke:

Wow, what manners you have. I dont remember asking for your opinion of my disorder. so why dont you shut your pie hole, jerk

and by the way, you dont have permission to discuss, MY disabilities, that's why their my disabilities!

You brought it up dickhead.

[actsnoblemartin]

as a self depricating joke, and i wasnt talking to you asshole.

You have a thinking disability, mainly your an idiot

Dont talk about my disability, if i wanna discuss my own disability fine, you dont have permission so cork it bub


You brought it up dickhead.

[actsnoblemartin]

you shouldn't talk about things that you put in your mouth

Martin, seriously you brought that up, as an excuse. Dillo in his not so nice way, brought it up as a point, justifiably. Now you are saying, 'off limits,' unless you say so, which of course you wouldn't. Ever. Seriously, you can't have it all ways.

[actsnoblemartin]

it was NOT an excuse, it was a joke!

a tongue and cheek joke

sheesh :poke:

and the key word is not so nice, i admitted, it can be used as an excuse or to explain certains behaviors and actions, what i was talking with pb though was a tongue and cheek joke

You are trying to play a disability both ways. I'd be surprised if it works. If you want consideration of your problem, you can't use it to excuse over the top posts. IMHO

[manu1959]

i used to call em mocha chips......

[actsnoblemartin]

It does not excuse bad behavior.

Explaining something is not the same as condoning or excusing.

If i read about the reasons why some people bomb abortion clinics, their reasons and such does that mean im condoning their behavior?

if i read about the crusades, and see the reasons that explain why the crusaders did what i did does mean i condone their actions.

My disability is a reason I have a tougher time in social situations, it doesnt mean i get to be an asshole, nor am i claiming it is, i am saying it explains why i have trouble in social situation, my bad habits, but i have always taken responsibility on this board for what i do, and to suggest im saying that i dont is not true

You dont get it , do you? This is another social situation that you can't deal with or control. You suck up to who ever is your latest buddy and then go on a screaming ninny rant. Anyone is free to comment about your behavior if you choose to display it here and since you have ASPERGERS, YOU CAN'T HELP IT.
This ain't your private little romper room.

marteen, eventually the leader will notice these unprovoked personal slams, correct the problem, and then this board will grow. Until then, however, just have some fun whether you believe the remark was tongue in cheek or not.

Just because they are idiots doesn't excuse your imitation of them, don't cha know? I know, I know. Some of their senseless horseshit gets under my skin sometimes as well and I certainly ain't a good example of message board etiquette, but I do try. It's the constant change in enforcement and favoritism that sometimes upsets me more than anything else. Don't ever call a stupid son of a bitch that just called you a stupid son of a bitch a son of a bitch, marteen. Sometimes, it gets you banned while the stupid son of a bitch that initially called you a stupid son of a bitch is allowed to continue on his merry way. Am I confusing you, marteen? I'm not confused at all and neither should you be. I've seen what has been going on.

True that, listen up, Martin. There is a warning here, though PB is not a mod, he's giving you good advice. (Lord help us!)

God Bless you, kitty.

Oreo's, Coconut's, what's the difference?

They are both disparaging and uncalled for? In intelligent conversation, no. In polite conversation, however, I get it. But there are some that are not so intelligent that use it in polite conversations. Perhaps it is the confusion of the type of conversation that is the culprit here, doc?!!?!!??!???!??!?!?

naa--it's back to the old " it's ok for some people to say some words but not for other people to say those same words ". Different races and religions have different freedoms.

PB - we used to be Oreo-deprived so we had no handy icon to use as a reference, well not me, I'm Anglo-Irish-Australian and ain't about to call anyone a coconut (or anything else for that matter). So our indigenous folks settled on coconut as a disparaging term. First time I heard though I had to have it explained to me. (Anglo-Irish-Australian and thick apparently :D)

[Psychoblues]

Thanks for the explanation of "coconut", doc.

But my question was concerning "Oreo" which I now understand to mean pretty much the same thing. Do you think Oreo's and coconuts could combine? I think it's a great cookie idea!!!!!!!!!!!! I just love chocolate, vanilla and coconut!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm Anglo-Irish-German-American Indian. Am I really that out of sync?

I think we might need M&Ms PB :laugh2:

Can we drink beer with that, doc?

I used to sit outside my tent in Saudi and eat a ham sandwich while I polished off a near beer. It was hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!
