In the 1930s, they didn't have poisonous skittles but they did have poisonous mushrooms

[Coolest Ranger]

12. I am sorry

but how is EarlG an ass hole? Did I miss something here?

[Coyotl]

21. Maybe try reading the meme before commenting.

[Coolest Ranger]

22. This is where

I add you to my ignore list. I will not be disrespected by anyone on this site.

[Coyotl]

23. This after you disrespected me. Laughable.

[chillfactor]

If anyone is that inhuman I'm not the least bit sorry in calling them no good racist, sexist, homophobic, fucksticks.

[Maru Kitteh]

19. Did you perhaps mean Islamophobic? Your post makes it look like you are calling Muslims

a not very nice word.

[47of74]

25. Yeah you're right. I'm sorry. I fixed it.

[Maru Kitteh]

35. wonderful! I was pretty sure that wasn't your intention :-)

Have a pleasant evening.

[47of74]

36. Thank you. It was not.

It would've come back to bite me later or gotten hidden.

5. So if non-Syrian non-refugees kill...

You know; spree shooting, driving into the wrong lane, random act of violence, being a bad guy with a gun, really disturbing midlife crisis, throwing a fatal temper tantrum over a parking space or because women won't be your sex slave, disregarding the words of the 911 operator to go after that unarmed black kid, trying to start a race war, etc...

Does that make them really sharp and jagged skittles or radioactive skittles as opposed to being poisonous skittles?
Or are they a different kind of candy altogether?

[SummerSnow]

6. They are not Skittles ....

[PatrickforO]

32. No. They are not. They are human beings.

And, to coin an old phrase: And there but for the grace of God go we.

Just a quick exercise in empathy, since I know most of the people on here have it - what if it was our country in ruins because of imperialist wars, and this was one of our people with American kids? And then what if some asshole in the country to which we were trying to escape said this about us?

What if?

Let's start putting better policies into place, take care of these refugees and home it NEVER HAPPENS TO US.

[barbtries]

7. so it's a two-fer

by using skittles they get to dehumanize black people at the same time they're putting it to Muslims.

this donald jr is a real piece of work - could he possibly be worse than his father? NAH - !

[classykaren]

40. The Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

[Jerry442]

8. So if someone offered you a bowl of shit...

...and suggested you'd find a good candidate for president in there -- you'd wonder why such a deranged person is allowed to be in politics.

[boston bean]

9. I also thought about Trayvon Martin... and now Trump welcoming George Zimmermans support...

[underpants]

10. Haven't seen it on FB yet but I'm sure I will

Trump saaaaalute!

[dixiegrrrrl]

13. When you do see it there, be sure to add this:

Nazi Who Originated Donald Trump Jr.’s Skittles Metaphor Was Hanged at Nuremberg

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10141577167

[underpants]

20. That's exactly what I was already thinking about

[Coolest Ranger]

11. This is why I am losing faith

in humanity. My race is hated because we're black. I could die today and I don't think anyone would miss me. And I'm sure they feel the same way considering how the world feels about them.

[annabanana]

14. OUR skittles has to go

kick his ass

oh yes indeed

[calimary]

17. OUR Skittles absolutely could kick his ass.

[ffr]

15. How long before they equate the Skittles image to our

crowds?

[keithbvadu2]

16. His Jewish brother-in-law must be so proud to be part of the Trump family.

24. Mentos and Teabags

If I had a bowl of Mentos mints, how many would kill me if they represent the school, theater, workplace, etc. mass shooters? Why can't we have background checks? That's a problem.

If I had a bowl of teabags how many would kill me if they represent right wing cop killers like Jared & Amanda Miller, Eric Frein, Jerry & Joe Kane, etc. That bowl never gets screened. That's a problem.

27. K&R

[Thor_MN]

28. To be fair, if you do anything like Trump, Jr., you are an asshole.

[PatrickforO]

31. Did you see the pic of him holding up that dead leopard he murdered for 'sport???'

Trophy hunting doesn't seem too 'sporting' to me.

[Thor_MN]

33. And holding up the tail that he had cut off an elephant that he had killed..

If you do anything like Trump, Jr. - you are an asshole.

[tanyev]

29. Somebody who settled a lawsuit where a customer died after eating tainted food in his restaurant

really has no business sending out a tweet like that.

[PatrickforO]

30. I did not know the Nazis made this comparison.

And I've seen this before - courtesy of Fox 'news'. But when I saw it the first time it was M&Ms.

Doesn't matter which candy, though, or even mushrooms. The xenophobe that made it up is a total asshole. I mean I saw my cousin the other day. He and I grew up together and were best friends. He's as intelligent as me, but you know what he said? He said he's voting for Trump because he is the only one 'who will do something about the damage immigration is doing to this country.'

No kidding. Seriously. I mean, I just don't see immigration as a giant, front and center thing. We need the Dream Act so the 11 million people can be naturalized, but I'm just at sea about this so-called damage.

Fortunately I'll cancel out my cousin's vote...

[Boomer]

34. Two can play at that game

[Nitram]

37. "Asshole" is an understatement.

These people are the very toxins in the skittles they are warning us about.

[warrprayer]

38. Neo nazis and race haters

Are worse than deplorable.

[mwooldri]

39. What a bad analogy.

If we got to compare the Syrian Refugee Problem to a bowl of Skittles... then we're going to have to change a few things. One... the Skittles aren't going to kill me. They'll give me some bad tummyache, but no... they won't kill me. It'll be more than three. I could stick the name "Assad" on the one that's going to give me the worst tummyache - though that's enough for another load of analogies here. And it isn't a bowl full of Skittles. It's a bath-tub full of them. A luxury one... one you might have in the most luxurious suite at a Trump hotel. Overflowing.

Will I take a handful of Skittles out of a bath tub full of them, knowing that three of them might give me a tummyache? Yes. I won't be like Angela Merkel, who took a whole bucket load of Skittles from this hypothetical Skittles/Syrian Refugee bath tub... cos she's having tummyache and she didn't take the ones that would be guaranteed to give her tummyache anyway.

And yes, Trump is an asshole. Junior too.
