I would never take a cast broadaxe to the track...

Yup, sorry I'm with Sapp on this one too. I really don't care for the "white" part of the topic. WTF does that have to do with anything?

:mad::mad::mad:
Angerman? duh? who wouldn't be in agreement?

Can you still be an AWM if there's some Eponym mixed in?

Actually, an AWM mixed with a nympho virago would certainly be more interesting and might produce an awesome speciman.

Rule number ONE: never, ever say "broadaxe" in the presence of a "full figured" group of women. At that point, even an AWM might not be able to save you.

I used to work with a grumpy old dude from Indiana, tough old buzzard who grew up on a farm. He used to say,

"She's got an ass 6 axe-handles wide..." :D

Is this related to what you are saying? :)

This is the most ridiculous part of the whole...whatever it is. He considers himself a WHITE american?

Only here can this be looked at without seeing how absurd that sounds.

Now why would you say that I wonder?

Not sure...but one old guy I knew at the factory used to say:

"If we had her ass full of nickels we could all retire."

How so? That Cherokee guy would probably be so happy about how AWM let him back into his...um...own country that he would love to consider himself a white American. ;)

I haven't been around for 200+ years.

I've been around for 47, and have watched as every single special interest group gets preferential treatment and I've watched the average white guy get blamed for things he had nothing to do with. I've watched laws pass that create special favoritism for other groups, and laws passed that add extra punishment if a white man commits the same crime as another group. I've watched white men persecuted for saying the exact same word that certain special interest groups use constantly. maybe that's why he's angry?

I accept no blame or punishment for something that happened before I was born.

You can deny the blame, but it's your legacy. Just as it helped you to get where you are, it is also your albatross. Payback is a beotch...welcome to the new world order.

Reminds me hearing an old bosun mate describing his ex-wife as having "an ass like a seabag full o' paint chippers".

I respectfully disagree.
Yes there is racism in some places, yes there are inequalities in some places, but I neither contributed to or benefited from them.
My legacy? Hardly. That had absolutely nothing to do with me getting where I am. I earned every single bit of what I have. I started with absolutely nothing except a minimum wage job pumping gas. I worked hard, I paid my dues, I kept my mouth shut and took orders, I paid for my schooling.
I had the same challenges, the only difference is I didn't have the same excuses. Maybe if i had a built-in excuse I wouldn't have tried so hard.

nostatic 02-16-2008 12:04 AM

barefoot and pregnant. And a good slap upside the head if dinner is late. Them good old fashioned values...ah yes...I miss those days. Maybe we can get "separate but equal" reinstated. And maybe internment camps. You can't trust them Chinese ya know...

sorry Sam, but you benefited from the mere fact of being white. Your race and gender made opportunities available to you that were not equally available to other races. I have no doubt you worked hard to get where you are, and earned what you have. That isn't what I'm talking about. It is about the ways that society has favored white males. You did not face the same challenges as a black man. Or a Chinese immigrant. Or a Hispanic.

Did someone say Wussification? :rolleyes:

nostaic, you can take anything to an unreasonable extreme. "Bare foot and pregnant" is a good one. What woman taught you to parrot that one?

What else should Sammy be guilty for? ... having toe-nails? hair?

Yeah, it sounds absurd when people say Obama isn't black enough, eh?

To cut to it, in America, there are a couple distinct cultures often referred to in terms of black and white. These are cultural distinctions. (certainly there are asshats out there who see just skin color, but that is a different subject) Certainly if an American man with black skin adopts white culture he will get crap from the black culture for being "uncle tom..."

so now we have the wusses who have to cry foul if any speak of being white. . . what it is ....surely it can be couched as racist if it's "white".:rolleyes:

The choices are already limited: 1) a black man; 2) a woman; 3) a white man whose politics greatly favor the black man and the woman.

Hence, the angry white man's vote means nothing at this point.

So what's next? Capitulation? Assimilation? Indifference?
