ignorant stuff average people say
 

JWB here reporting live from the bible belt, bringing you breaking news that in fact every stereotype you've ever heard about southern people is in fact true

so... this is basically a a thread to quote irl people that you interact with in one way or another dropping some jewels of non-wisdom... since i'm currently living in the south, i bring you a harvest of home grown southern ignorance.. but anyone living anywhere and interacting irl day to day with people who say dense ****, feel free to post them here for our amusement

i heard these today:

"i'm pretty sure that obama is actually osama bin laden" and yes he was serious, i inquired further and he said with a dead serious face that it would be the perfect way to take america down if you got a terrorist as president, and he even was talking about how if you take a picture of obama and a picture of osama the features match up perfectly, he said all this to a table full of seemingly sane adults, and nobody seemed to take issue or disagree with this idea, except one guy who noted the obvious height difference and the fact that "all middle easterners look the same"


"people say he's the first black president but he aint got a drop of black in him, he's middle eastern" my coworker assures me
i said his dad is from kenya, africa. and he was like it don't matter if it's in africa, he's still middle eastern. once again the table full of sane adults all seemed inclined to agree that obama is in fact middle eastern.


"very little of the civil war was about slavery" that's another one. they don't like people taking down that rebel flag. they think the whole incident was a govt set up specifically to dismantle their southern heritage. and take their guns, of course.


"i wouldn't be surprised if that boy (the SC shooter) is laid back at some island somewhere, a paid govt agent"

yea... dunno that link seems ****ed up. why'd you post it in my thread?

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

It works for me. :(

It was a link to Frownland's post history.

It's not as funny when I have to explain : /

Yeah, I hate this one. It gets complicated just because it's actually true that it wasn't entirely about slavery from the Northern perspective - many Northerners were super racist and actually were fighting against secession - but yeah, for the South it was absolutely all about slavery. The whole "Oh they just seceded for states' rights" thing doesn't hold water at all, because if they were actually in favor of states' rights, Southern states and politicians would have objected to the Dred Scott decision, which of course they did not.

White privilege.

Hey! I'm not an average person.

I have been known to use this phrase. What's your point?

People using it to justify their failures.

What the ****

Are you saying that white privilege doesn't exist or that people just use it as an excuse?

People use it as an excuse.. and sometimes it really is an excuse. But a lot of times it's just ignorant bs and a complete lack of self accountability.

It's generally used when people can't defend their position and they need a cop out. Of course that **** exists but it's not the endgame of every discussion vaguely regarding race.

Someone I know said this and I was like huh? She had overdone it on the false tan and said

you ready for this?

You really ready?

You think you are, but you're not.

Okay

I think you're ready.

She said


"I'm as orange as Hitler!"

WTF??!!!!!!!!
:crazy:

They do realise Bin Laden is dead, yes? Or is that another government cover-up?

Autotune sucks.

[Something I don't like] isn't music.

"i wonder what isis thinks of obama? i mean he's openly muslim..."

'It's just a theory.'

'But on the news they said that [insert some health advice].'

Well it doesn't exist, so...

Nope.

Even Bill O'Reilly acknowledges white privilege.

white privilege does exist ok white people don't get searched and detained at white people airports for having an arabic name or looking middle eastern.
also bill o'reilly is probably one of the dumbest people on television kim k probably has a higher iq.

Yeah. White people airports.

Are you saying that if I'm a Middle Eastern-looking white person with an Arabic name, I won't get searched and/or detained?

The first part of that didn't make a while lot of sense there mane.

no, okay maybe that wasn't perfectly phrased ok english isn't my first language
what i meant was if someone suspects you're arab or muslim at an airport in a predominately white country chances are you'll face discrimination. like when a girl wearing a hijab was 'randomly' chosen out of a group of people to get searched.

So yeah profiling? That happens quite a bit.

also when people say islamophobia isn't real or that antisemitism is no longer an issue

Nobody ever says islamaphobia.

Of course this is right. Don't let me give you a hard time.
Well, it's spelled with an "o", but people do say it. I think most people agree that it's real though.

Can we stop with the answers meant to incite political/social discussions? **** your politics and belief systems. We're here to make fun of stoopid people.

i guarantee you you're wrong. bill oreilly is a relatively intelligent propagandist that panders to a less intelligent audience. where as kim k is just an run of the mill dumb rich white california whore.

as for white privilege... yes it exists and yes it is also used as a empty buzzword by liberals with a mediocre level of intelligence

see: 6:40 for an example



cause... you know... one of the main benefits of being white is that you can transform yourself into any other race any time you please, like some sort of racial chameleon. i mean i know that's why i love being white

Is goy privilege a thing?

Obviously I'm afraid of a religion where the majority statistically support, sympathize, or agree with terrorists.

Then again I'm afraid of the vast majority of religious people.

Of course. You get both the benefits of white privilege and Holocaust guilt. Being Jewish these days is like winning the lottery.

"Goy" means non-jewish.

Not even going to touch grtwhtgrvty's post.
Nah, the opposite actually. Every time I go to a bat mitzvah for, like, my friend's little sister, a bunch of us sit in the back and whisper about how we control the media. Fun times.

(Just kidding. I don't have any friends.)

Controling the media is fine, but I'm mostly enjoying controling the financial world and being part of the secret world government.
