Yikes! I have one of my mom's valentines from 1935 with two black kids on it and the little boy has the girl in a chokehold saying, "Woman - kiss me while you's is able!" Apparently, that was considered perfectly appropriate for an 8-year-old girl to receive from a male classmate back then. :blink:

They sure don't make them like they used to...

Oh my, Shoots and Ladders sure has changed over the years.

Dude! What the hell?! :lol:

You thought THAT was bad???
These actually existed (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=394&item=3956145391&rd=1)

Oh WOW!! I was hoping they had just made that up for the movie Ghost World!
-
I remember the big thing one year in elementary was to call this 800 number to hear a song about welfare benefits in "Coon Town". The Klan kept a toll-free number for recruitment purposes, and didn't count on kids calling it and giving the number to their "colored" friends. Dunno how long it took, but it wasn't up for very much longer after that.
But what makes this worse is that this was something regular people thought was great at the time.
-
This reminds of me of yesterday, when I read a summary of "The Birth of a Nation" thus acquainting myself with the movie for the first time ever. Yeah, I won't be watching that.
-
It just occured to me. Was this thread in any way inspired by Black History month? :mellow:
-
I hope so. Why the fuck isn't there an Asian history month, or an Irish History month? The Blacks in this country act like they were the only ones enslaved ever, which pisses me off.
-
I think it's fair to say that Asians and Native Americans deserve their own month but all Irish deserve is 1 day!!
-
Don't make me beat you. The Irish have been fucked over all throughout human history, until just recently.
-
goddamn if i had one penny for every one that has told me "im irish" even tho they were born in the US, i'll be fuckin millionaire and with coke plantations and shiet
-
Im part Irish, though I mean the systematic oppression by a majority of cultures, including the USA post civil war.
Mel Brooks said it best, "We'll take the niggers and the chinks, BUT NO IRISH!"

And niggers.

What the fuck is thast supposed to be? I'm not signing up for fuckshit.
-
It's the showtimes and description for a show.
-
I'm reminded of a chick in my speech class this past Saturday who gave a speech of St. Patrick's and Irish oppression or something something but I zoned out. It was boring. The crochet lady was more interesting. It was quite sad that the crochet lady was more interesting than a lot of things.

Don't they mean ancestry?
I never have to say it - people come up to me and say some variation of "I'll bet you're Irish" all the time. Even when I'm not drunk. :P
:( Wish I wasn't so diluted as to have no claim to my ancestrial digs:
Party at my place! (http://www.bamjam.net/Ireland/Power.html)
-
I hate how everytime I get asked about my ancestry and I tell them that I'm a quarter Irish, a quarter Scottish and half Spanish, they automatically ask that half came from Mexico. For one, Spain is a fucking country and secondly I'm WAYYY too white.
-
What the fuck is wrong with being Mexican? Aside from being treated like a gardener all the time.
-
There's nothing wrong with being Mexican, I was making an observation towards how dumb people can be. Spanish doesn't mean Mexican.
-
Instead of introducing yourself as "part spanish" introduce yourself as part Spaniard. Watch the confusion roll over their faces, HEEEE-larious.
-
Introduce yourself as part Spanglish.
-
Haha, I could.

"Scotch Irish. My father was from Wales."
