no, but I wouldn't be surprised if a t-dubber put it in a newsletter to piss people off.

10/18/2008 3:47:34 AM

Uhh... I doubt she was crying merely because of the picture.

She was probably crying because people she thought were her friends turned out to be racists shitheads (although I think they're only a little bit racist), and when you find that out about your friends, particularly if you're black, it's a saddening experience.

10/19/2008 8:55:14 PM

I guarantee my wife would not have made the connection between blacks and fried chicken/watermelons. Some people just don't roll in those type of circles. If it weren't for TWW, I wouldn't have known

10/19/2008 9:41:44 PM

I get the watermelon and fried chicken, don't get the ribs or especially the Kool-aid.

45 minutes, really? how old is this person?

10/19/2008 9:55:56 PM

^ You've obviously not been around the blacks long enough.

Voter # 1082!!

10/20/2008 1:09:11 AM

apparently obama went to a restaurant in fayetteville today and ordered fried chicken

10/20/2008 1:10:44 AM

more power to him!

10/20/2008 1:11:53 AM

The kool-aid represents the blind followers Obama has. Have you ever heard " I am not drinking the kool-aid he is passing around" It refers to a tragic event involving Cult leader Jim Jones at a place called Jonestown in the 70s where he his followers were convinced to drink drink kool-aid with poison. Here is the link if you want to read more.

10/20/2008 1:36:11 AM

^^ Don't drink the Kool-aid!

10/20/2008 1:37:11 AM

you're an idiot

10/20/2008 1:37:17 AM

^No you are. I did not make up Jonestown or the fact that the term has been associated with Obama. Read your history lesson son.

10/20/2008 1:39:03 AM

i already knew about jim jones you fucking moron and this has nothing to do with that

black people liking kool-aid is a well known stereotype

you can blow me

10/20/2008 1:40:11 AM

^ You are out of touch and full of shit. Kool-aid is not racist. It was pretty much all I drank as a kid.

10/20/2008 1:42:09 AM

No thanks. I am sure it is as full of shit as you are.

10/20/2008 1:42:51 AM

i know it's difficult to admit your mistake

it's ok

i don't think any less of you

10/20/2008 1:46:38 AM

*sigh* Okay you were right and I am wrong. Kool-aid is a racist term since Jim Jones was black and so is Obama.
