The more hate racists spew the more I am sure they are really closet black people, or indian, or white if it is someone else spewing the hate.

Time to fling open the closet doors, pull out our bloomers, and wear who we are - I have pretended to be white my whole life, just to fit in. No more. I think Biden needs to come clean too....

(uh yeah, sarcasm...based on how some folks think a jack ass gay hater must be gay because he hates gays. That's like saying fred phelps is gay, like the gay community would really want his ass...)

1. Something like that actually happened.
Take the story of Leo Felton, a mixed-race white supremacist
who plotted to blow up a bridge.

All too often, a zealot has something to cover up.

2. Clearly the Minutemen anti-immigration idiots just want to be Mexican.
Anybody with the much hatred towards a group must want to be a part of it. :sarcasm:

11. he is a comic. he does a bit in which he plays a...
...blind, black KKK leader. doesn't know because he wears KKK garb, and his pals won't tell him because they make money selling his books.

sounds stupid,and it probably is, but it's damn funny too.

8. Point taken; but you are actually putting your finger on....
a very familiar phenomenon. People have speculated down thru the decades... without any hard info, far as I know... that Hitler, for example, had a Jewish grandparent.

There was also a case, in my memory ( which is semi functional at this point so don't demand specifics, por favor) of a KKK luminary who killed himself because... at least in part... he had an African American ancestor and was afraid of being found out by his... ummm bedsheet-fellows?


>>>(uh yeah, sarcasm...based on how some folks think a jack ass gay hater must be gay because he hates gays. That's like saying fred phelps is gay, like the gay community would really want his ass...)>>>>

I put this type of thing in the category of "Don't heterosexuals ever do*anything* wrong"? Clearly, the answer,for some folks anyway, is "no".

OTOH, lot's of *gays* play this game also, not just heteros. I think a direct challenge to this pernicious premise is usually sufficient.

9. It's always convenient to pay/finance a desperate, darker skinned individual.
As it has been done many times before.

However, it is less to do with skin color as much as it has to do with financial ability.

15. Not to be difficult but I wouldn't be surprised...

You'd be surprised how many whites have black ancestry, especially in this country.

As far as the thread that this thread is mocking, I can see why that thread was irritating/insensitive (mainly due to the TIMING of the post) but at the same time studies have shown that homophobic people showed the most sexual response when exposed to same sex pornography. I've heard of at least two studies documenting that phenomenon.
