I am disgusted! I just got this e-mail from some asshole.

[Shell Beau]

"I'm confused ... how can 2 million blacks get into Washington DC in sub zero temps in 1 day when 200,000 couldn't get out of New Orleans at 85 degrees with four days notice? "


Dipshit asshole! An old highschool "friend". Stupid ignorant ass.

[SKKY]

1. Jesus H. Christ in a chicken basket...

...Racist much? What a fuck.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear Shell Beau!

How disgusting!

Some friend, I'd say...:eyes:

There was quite a lot of public transportation in DC...and in NO? Not so much!

:grr:

[Shell Beau]

7. Exactly! The e-mail I am about to fire back is going to be NASTY!

[Fire Walk With Me]

3. Recommend that he should ask this question of every large black male he can find.

Lots of them, to get a broad selection of answers.

[Shell Beau]

8. Wouldn't that be perfect! I'd almost sit there and watch.

[TieDyedDad]

10. I'd sell tickets

:evilgrin:

[Fire Walk With Me]

13. We could do a documentary, with him as the interviewer.

Smackdown, on PPV! It would be sort of a reverse Borat.

[TieDyedDad]

15. awesome

cage match..

[sarge43]

42. Especially any who lost family or friends in NOLA.

:popcorn:

[ghostsofgiants]

4. Wow.

That's fucked up on so many levels.

[TieDyedDad]

5. Real simple

the folks that went to DC....werent abandoned by their government.....tell that jerk that.

[underpants]

6. They developled assholes with mandable fingers?

SHIT! do the assholes have thumbs!!

[Shell Beau]

9. Unfortunately they do have thumbs to shove up their ginormous assholes!!!

[txwhitedove]

11. Yes, I received same e-mail at work from a relative who should

know me better. I was living in Bay St. Louis, MS, during Hurricane Katrina,
so my answer:

Uh, no, nope, nada, zip, not funny at all to me. This is exactly the type of e-mail, and worse, that I received at ‘that other company’ I worked for right after Katrina. The people who did not leave New Orleans were mostly poor without resources or money to travel. The biggest point is the damage in New Orleans was not from the actual hurricane, but primarily man made – caused by levee failure due to poor maintenance. No confusion here.

Ahem, I was then instructed to get "the stick out of my ass" and find the humor..... ick.

[Shell Beau]

14. Oh please. I was in central MS during Katrina. Fuck that shit. It was

pandemonium. Yea, those people wanted to sit there and watch there homes be demolished and almost die. :sarcasm: How the fuck is that even funny? Find the humor? Fuck them! Find the fucking humanity! I am livid. I usually don't use the "f" word quite so much.

[txwhitedove]

21. We stayed because during the storm before Katrina, everyone was

stuck on the highway going nowhere for hours, shelters don't take pets, and
basically couldn't afford to leave. So, we stayed in a house 1-block from
the Bay Bridge that went down, while the house was shredded and flooded around us.

Now why would this relative be angry that I don't see the humor? It's racist and mean spirited.

[Shell Beau]

24. I am glad you made it through! It was a funky time.

[MineralMan]

45. I have a relative like that. I assigned all his emails

to the spam filter's dump folder. I asked him not to send me forwarded crap in email, but he just laughed and told me to "lighten up." Now, I don't see any of his emails.

[txwhitedove]

55. CAN'T ignore this close relative. Appears to be a chain letter and

surprisingly not everyone sees the underlying racism, nastiness, disrespect to Obama and again acting like H.Katrina victims deserved what they got. The wording "I'm confused..." is misleading, but it's cold.

[MineralMan]

57. That does make it more difficult, then.

I don't know what to do in that case. I know that I hate that kind of crap in my emails, and I'm not at all non-vocal about it. I guess the Reply All thing is your best bet.

[TieDyedDad]

12. I work with some pretty racist assholes

They talk alot...until they meet my african american nephew....the one i didnt tell them about until after they were done spewing their shit.

[Left Is Write]

16. Here's your reply...

"I'm confused...how can a person with the IQ of a nematode manage to find the send button to forward this blatant piece of assholery?"

[TieDyedDad]

17. Damn LIW

That was sweet, but you think that guy knows what a nematode is?

[Shell Beau]

20. Don't count on it.

[Orrex]

36. Solid, but you'll look like an effete intellectual if you use 'nematode'

See, the asshole already looks like an idiot to anyone who knows what a nematode is.

The hard part is to make the asshole realize what an idiot he is. If he hears "nematode," he'll just shut down.

[Left Is Write]

54. Yeah, but if I'd said "the IQ of Glenn Beck"...

...he'd take it as a compliment. :P

[Danger Mouse]

18. Tell his bigoted ass to enjoy the next 8 years.

[Shell Beau]

19. Hahahaha!! That is the best response!

:)

Fuck him. Dumb fuck!

[Danger Mouse]

25. Dumb fuck is just bitter...he was hoping to see his fellow Klansmen 'Marching for McCain'.

Racism drives me nuts, but when I think of stuff like this, I have to chuckle.

[Aristus]

22. Why don't you dump the Gulf of Mexico on his house and see how easy it is for

him to do anything other than drown.


Fucknozzle!... :mad:

[Shell Beau]

23. This fuckwad lived through Katrina. I might as well talk to my wall.

[ThomCat]

26. Wow. He doesn't make any effort to hide his racism, does he?

It's amazing and disappointing that people can be that backwards. :(

[ElboRuum]

27. Your reply.

"I'm confused. How could someone I had a little respect for blow it all in one ignorant, racist email? See you at the reunion."

[Writer]

28. I would respond...

Well, I'm even more confused. How does a white racist asshole such as yourself deal with the fact that a black man is now running his country? I guess it's time for you to evacuate.

[struggle4progress]

29. "Have you seen the news? The Civil war's over! My side won! America also beat

the German racists! The army's integrated now. Jim Crow died, and I think he went to hell. What's up down your way?"

[Jamastiene]

30. My mother sends me tons of shit like that.

It annoys me to no end. I didn't check my email for 2 weeks one time just to try to break her of that. It didn't work. :\

[Rhythm]

33. I flat out told my mom that to stop sending my that crap...

I told her that sending me news from home/about the family was great, and i encouraged that, but if all she was going to send me was the racist/homophobic/freeper crap that she sent around to her co-workers and CHURCH FRIENDS (her pastor's name was in the 'sent to' *puke*), then just don't send me anything.

She didn't speak to me for 6 months, and only now has started to be civil again.

If she starts the Freeper Forward brigade again, i'll tell her off again...

[sohndrsmith]

31. I hope you don't acknowledge this nitwit with any sort of response.

People send other people stuff like that for two reasons (mainly, I think).

1. Because they know it's racist but don't care because they think it's funny and they want reassurance that others think it's funny too (and they likely get that affirmation, sadly enough).

2. Because they're going for shock value - taking some perverted sort of pleasure in the idea that they can disgust and/or bother someone else by presenting them with something they know is at best controversial (even racists must have a clue at times that what they might say is not generally well received.

What this guy wants is a response - whether my theories are right or not, that's what he wants. An angry response may feel good (and would be reasonable), but no response - no acknowledgment might send a more effective message - that his sophomoric racism is... irrelevant. Maybe he won't send you any more nonsense.

(No I don't think racism is irrelevant - nor do I think tolerating it or ignoring it is helpful in the larger picture. In this case, I think it's the most effective thing to do...).

No - I'm not going to make a Republican analogy here given the event of the day. Nope. Not going to go there...

[Rhythm]

34. Except that in many cases, the assholes take the recipient's silence as tacit agreement...

Speaking up to this sort of shit is absolutely necessary, imho.

[RedCloud]

32. Second word of email message a chronic condition!

Dazed and confused is more like it.

[Orrex]

35. Ask him why Bush could keep his ass out of Vietnam during all of the 70s...

But couldn't couldn't keep his head out of his ass at all during the 2000s.

[av8rdave]

37. I hope he sent that e-mail to a lot of people. I mean hey....

If you're a total ignorant %$#@, you might as well tell the whole world about it!

[jobycom]

38. Use Reply All, call them a racist, and use very nasty language.

At the very least piss them off enough that they stop sending you stuff like that.

And if they want a serious response, point out that there weren't 200,000 people left in NOLA, that they weren't all black (neither was the inauguration crowd), and that the inauguration was better planned because Obama was in charge of it instead of Bush.

Not to mention, the inauguration had over two months of planning, not just one day, and the government actually responded to it.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

40. Reply All. The passive-aggresivist's nuclear bomb on email.

Love that idea.

[jobycom]

46. Not sure where the passive part comes in.

It's more like kicking butt and advertising.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

39. Still evidence that we have a ways to go on MLK's dream.

That's disgusting. I'd air him/her out if I were you.

[Cabcere]

41. Ugh, that is horrible.

:puke: :banghead:

Bigots suck. x(

(Edited to include all bigots in the suckitude, not just racists.)

[sarge43]

43. Make sure to inform Dipshit that half the people in NOLA who died were over 75 years old.

Not only a race bigot, an age one too.

(typo)

[mnhtnbb]

44. I'm dying to see your answer. I cut off my SIL over e-mails she

forwarded that contained lies about Obama during the campaign. But I have to admit,
I've known her for 40 some years and I was happy to take advantage of the fact
that she just wouldn't quit sending me shit, even though I'd asked her repeatedly
to either check her facts or not send me that stuff.

[Shell Beau]

47. I am still trying to figure out how I will word what I want to say.

But I do think I will use the reply all button!

[mnhtnbb]

48. I did that. One of the people wrote a very condescending,"how dare you

criticize MY friend" e-mail instructing me that I was out of line to hit reply-all. I fired
off a response to her that still gives me a chuckle before I blocked both my SIL and her friend's e-mails.

If you really don't care about this person, go for it. Otherwise, you probably should be polite.

[Lil Missy]

49. I got one from my freeper uncle, saying only 14 people missed work that day.

:eyes:

[TZ]

50. I'm black?

Who knew. Dipshits like that have no idea how diverse that crowd was.
Its racists like that who think only blacks support Obama. And they prove over and over again that racism and stupidity go hand in hand.

[TZ]

51. here send these

and say look at all the people wearing black! Thats what you meant right?



I'm dead serious on how diverse that crowd was.

[no name no slogan]

52. Wow, that sure is a lot o' Negros there

Amazing how white 80% of them look. I bet they could "pass" if they only talked right, didn't slouch, and dressed properly, huh? :sarcasm:

What a bunch of tools. Of all the people I knew who made the trip to DC, only a few were African-American. I've said it once and I'll say it again: stupid racist assholes should not breathe.

[BeachBaby]

53. Okay - racism is my #1 hot-button issue.

Send me his email addy. I'll take care of him. :mad:

[libodem]

56. That really pisses me off

It is so hurtful and mean spirited and difficult to answer. How do freepers makeup such evil vile comments and make it so difficult to formulate an equally short pointed answer that puts them in their place. I think something like having Blackwater mercenaries standing on the bridges pointing guns at them and forcing them back might have had something to do with not being able to get out.
