This is Bush's base right here

Southern fraternity assholes who dress up in blackface at parties.

1. These people are vile...

Why don't they just stamp the word "IGNORANT" across their foreheads?

[tinfoil tiaras]

2. indeed.

I saw another picture (on that website) of another guy dressed in blackface. Sickening. They perpetuate the dumb racist dumbfuck Southerner stereotype.

It happened at Ole Miss too...http://www.tolerance.org/news/article_hate.jsp?id=325

Now I know I'll never go to that school.

3. I think your use of southern to describe these people is a little...

bit unnecessary.

I grew up in the North and there are just as many racists as in the south.

4. Stipulated

but the boys in this picture are from the South, and that's what we are talking about here.

If you can find photos of northern frat boys doing this, then I encourage you to start another thread about it with a link.

7. So you're referring to all Southerners here?

Just asking for a little clarification.

[bluestateguy]

9. No.

Not even to all Southern fraternities.

That should not be hard to figure out.

12. I didn't think so . . .

at first. But, your response to the other post kinda sounded that way.

Thanks for clarifying.

8. Syracuse. So not

just here in the south.

5. This is a useful website! Track your hate groups in each state

I had no idea we had these hate groups here.

Find hate groups by state. Has a description of each.

6. please.. please send them to Detroit dressed like that

their ignorant asses will be edjumakated in just a very few minutes.

10. Must burst the parent's hearts with pride to know what a bunch of

stupid little asswipes the bred and raised.

Oh wait, I wonder what the parents are like? Maybe they are proud.

11. These pics are from Nov 5, 2001 . . .

according to the accompanying story.

No, that doesn't lessen it's impact. It's as wrong as wrong can be. And I agree that this probably does depict the true core of Bush's base.

But, could you find something a little more current?

13. The irony of these same

people hypocritcally support Isreal when in their heart of hearts they hate jews more than they hate blacks.

[Initech]

14. So basically, they're all a bunch of ignorant, racist rednecks?

Sounds like a fitting description!

15. Spoiled brat rich kids who never had to work

for a thing in their lives. They have never had to worry about where their next meal was coming from or how they will pay for school.

Yep, Bush's base all right.

16. Never saw that site before.

17. That's a very interesting site. I took one of their tests.

I took the "Darker Skin-Lighter Skin IAT" and these were my results:

Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for Light Skin compared to Dark Skin.

This is really not surprising but it is nonetheless disturbing. It tells me how easy it would be to give in to racism and that's what we're up against. Doofuses like those frat boys are just wallowing in it. We really do need a national dialogue on race in this country, as Clinton had started before the evildoers took over.
