What a load of bullshit.
How fucking dumb do you have to be to think this actually occurred?
sorry my ******, she can't have been the only darky invited.
IQ fail
The thing here is that you are not just insulting Poet here, it's an insult to most who read it, People of all colors and persuasions. That reflects on you, way beyond your intent.
Yeah I noticed you didnt delete that post as that person said the word ****** which is highly offensive. As a black man myself who have no used any racial slurs towards any whites or any member of any other ethnic group yet the word ****** is allowed on these forums.

So is honkey and whitey and cracker. And? Stop whining and grow a thicker skin. The word ****** only has power if you let it. Don't let it. It reflects on the user of the word far more than it reflects on the recipient.
Who said it was acceptable? I am highlighting a trending double standard. By the way I have never used any racial slurs here towards anyone. You cant have a healthy discussion by using pejorative words. Besides my comment is to be helpful actually because regardless whether the word has power or not if any white person calls another black person that outside the net they are likely to get their ass kicked or worse.
Seema Jilani: My Racist Encounter at the White House Correspondents' Dinner
".....Then something remarkable happened. I watched as they let countless other women through -- all Caucasian -- without even asking to see their tickets. I asked why they were allowing them to go freely when they had just told me that I needed a ticket. Their response? "Well, now we are checking tickets." He rolled his eyes and let another woman through, this time actually checking her ticket. His smug tone, enveloped in condescension, taunted, "See? That's what a ticket looks like."
When I asked "Why did you lie to me, sir?" they threatened to have the Secret Service throw me out of the building -- me, a 4'11" young woman who weighs 100 pounds soaking wet, who was all prettied up in elegant formal dress, who was simply trying to reach her husband. The only thing on me that could possibly inflict harm were my dainty silver stilettos, and they were too busy inflicting pain on my feet at the moment. My suspicion was confirmed when I saw the men ask a blonde woman for her ticket and she replied, "I lost it." The snickering tough-guy responded, "I'd be happy to personally escort you down the escalators ma'am."
Like a malignancy, it had crept in when I least expected it -- this repugnant, infectious bigotry we have become so accustomed to. "White privilege" was on display, palpable to passersby who consoled me. I've come to expect this repulsive racism in many aspects of my life, but when I find it entrenched in these smaller encounters is when salt is sprinkled deep into the wounds. In these crystallizing moments it is clear that while I might see myself as just another all-American gal who has great affection for this country, others see me as something less than human, more now than ever before.
When I asked why the security representatives offered to personally escort white women without tickets downstairs while they watched me flounder, why they threatened to call the Secret Service on me, I was told, "We have to be extra careful with you all after the Boston bombings."
I explained that I am a physician, that my husband is a noted journalist for a major American newspaper, and that our guest was an esteemed, Oscar-nominated director. They did not believe me. Never mind that the American flag flew proudly outside of our home for years, with my father taking it inside whenever it rained to protect it from damage. Never mind that I won "Most Patriotic" almost every July 4th growing up. Never mind that I have provided health care to some of America's most underprivileged, even when they have refused to shake my hand because of my ethnicity.
I looked at him, struggling to bury my tears beneath whatever shred of dignity that remained. They finally saturated my lashes and flood onto my face. Shaking with rage, I said, "We are all human beings and I only ask that you give me the same respect you give others. All I am asking is to be treating with a dignity and humanity. What you did is wrong." They stared straight ahead, arms crossed, and refused to even look at me. Up came the cruel, xenophobic, soundproof wall that I had seen in the eyes of so many after 9/11. Their eyes, flecked with disdain and hatred, looked through me."
And y'all think it's a "game". The pot is boiling, and one day it will overflow. - poet.
What is the point of this story?
Are we supposed to be outraged that WH security actually checked someone for a ticket?
The dumb bitch didn't have her ticket. She has nothing to complain about.
Even *if* they racially profiled her, there is nothing wrong with it. I haven't heard of too many hot blondes blowing themselves up, but it has happened with Muslim females. If she really believes this country is too xenophobic for her, she is welcome to move to any number of Islamic shithole countries in the Middle East. But of course she won't, because she is a lying Islamist who would rather 'transform' America into an Islamic state.
So, carry on with your phoney outrage.
Bigotry much??? What is the possibility of America being transformed into an Islamic state? Your hyperbole borders on lunacy.

Wow, sounds like a Democrat used dogs and a fire hose on her.
Wow. So you're grouping liberals in with Islamists, now? Must be the 1st amendment at work!What is the point of this story?

Yes, I am bigoted against liars. So that includes liberals and Islamists.
Illustration of a double standard.
No one should stoop to his level.
There's a certain shock value in it. I personally would only use the word with a close friend. I actually occasionally used it (My NXXXXr) as a term of endearment to my ex.
No one should stoop to his level.
It is what it is. There are several posters who think it is perfectly fine for them to use the n-word, anytime, any place. They must think expressing it, "whitens their teeth". It's not ok. And anyone thinking that it is, is sick. But they would never say it in public, know that the repercussions could be severe. The epitome of cowardice.
Yet you call people bitches, whores, a plethora of other nasty things, have no problem telling people 'fuck you', etc. and that's just fine cause it's you doing it? But golly gosh gee! how dare anyone use the word ****** cause you don't like it? Grow a thicker skin and bugger off. My comment was insulting you .. TT shouldn't stoop to your level of disrespect. Stop talking to me, you have me on ignore ... remember??
Ah. I understand now. Aristotle is black. I understand the other thread now.
Eye roll.
LOL (I'll give you + rep when I can.)
What a babe!I would love to...but apparently, a whole bunch of white people "can't". It's apparently, everywhere...even at the White House Correspondents Dinner.
Well if she says they arent letting certain people in the White House because they are black, then it must be true. Obama must have been pissed when he wasnt let in.
She's a Pakistani Muslim.
I actually think she is brilliant. (for a Liberal)
I found this article she wrote in 2010 Please check it out.
Deep prejudice about the deep south
