    Crazier than Richard Stallman using Windows.

    What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

        I don't know about the rest of you, but I think this woman[^] is nothing more than a liar, cheat, and scammer. And now that she's caught, she comes out with "I identify as black". I don't care what you "identify" with - if you're born to 2 white parents - YOU'RE WHITE!! Total fraud.

        It's all part of the craziness of our times. Given that in the more nutty parts of the world gender is considered flexible (men may identify as "women", women may identify as "men"), why should race be an exception?

        If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

            I find it really interesting because it highlights the relative nature of ethnicity. How some people see things in a very polarised manner while others are more flexible. I have not yet seen anyone define precisely what identifies a person as belonging to a particular ethnic group. What Dolezal appears to have done is to throw the whole ethnicity definition debate into confusion and it may actually be a good thing. To some extent it is demonstrating that what society calls 'racism' is well and truly alive as the boundaries of what define a particular race are being challenged.

                Because the races are still and sadly too separated from each other, if you chose your race by situation you'll always get only the shiny sides of your race. E.g. A black can and will use the power of the "Hey man im black you racist" phrase in every variation he knows while the white will always remain as a racist. In fact we turned this by 180°, leaving the black people being racists and the white being the victims. However, sadly there is no common sense from both sides, cause somebody has to be the racist. Same goes for Nzs, if you look on the world, the real Nzs are not in Germany anymore, they are everywhere but everybody only blames the germans to be Nzs. This is the real crazines of our society.

                if(this.signature != "")
                {
                MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
                }
                else
                {
                MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
                }

                  I guess we have to stop using gender and start using chromosome (X/Y).

                    Which reminds me of this joke:

                    There was a black man and his son on a transatlantic flight when the pilot came on the PA and told the passengers that unless they offloaded some weight they would not make it. The pilot advised that he was dumping all the luggage and cargo.

                    Shortly after that the pilot came back on and said that this was not enough and that people would have to jump to their death to save all the other passengers. After no one volunteered he stated that they would start alphabetically by race starting with the A's.

                    The pilot said, "All the African Americans must get off the plane!" The boy stood up and his father pulled him back to his seat and said, "Sit down!"

                    Next the pilot came on the PA and said, "all the blacks need to get off the plane!". Again the boy stood up and the father pulled him back once again and said, "Not yet boy!"

                    "Now all the colored people!", said the pilot and once again the boy got up and again his father pulled him back in his seat. The boy finally said, "Dad how come we are not jumping from the plane the pilot called us three times?" The father said, "He has not called us. Today we are Niggers and we jump after the Mexicans!"

                    No offense intended of course. I have nothing against anybody at all, and I would just as happily joke about white people... :)

                      Works better in the UK, they get to stop on the plane until the Wogs are called.

                      Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

                        I've always fancied doing the DNA profiling to find out exactly what there is in me so to speak, I know a few who have done it but it was still very expensive last time I looked. Everyone has come and had a go on the English women over the last couple of thousand years so there could be anything in there.

                          Good one :) Also i think no one would be offended by that, it could easily be changed to any other "race"

                          if(this.signature != "")
                          {
                          MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
                          }

                          {

                            There's a great video out there somewhere on the interweb of a white supremacist bigot discovering that he has something of the African continent within his genome - it's rather funny seeing his distress at the results.

                              You know what really pisses me off? Not that she lied, tinted her skin, or that she wanted to identify or support the black community. No, it's that she used to give lectures and has reported numerous complaints with the police of racially motivated harassment and intimidation. Which paints the real cases which affect real victims in the same light. Bitch. Elephant her. And do her for wasting police time, trying to pervert the course of justice, and anything else they can think of.

                                Which reminds me of this joke:

                                There was a black man and his son on a transatlantic flight when the pilot came on the PA and told the passengers that unless they offloaded some weight they would not make it. The pilot advised that he was dumping all the luggage and cargo.

                                Shortly after that the pilot came back on and said that this was not enough and that people would have to jump to their death to save all the other passengers. After no one volunteered he stated that they would start alphabetically by race starting with the A's.

                                The pilot said, "All the African Americans must get off the plane!" The boy stood up and his father pulled him back to his seat and said, "Sit down!"

                                Next the pilot came on the PA and said, "all the blacks need to get off the plane!". Again the boy stood up and the father pulled him back once again and said, "Not yet boy!"

                                "Now all the colored people!", said the pilot and once again the boy got up and again his father pulled him back in his seat. The boy finally said, "Dad how come we are not jumping from the plane the pilot called us three times?" The father said, "He has not called us. Today we are Niggers and we jump after the Mexicans!"

                                No offense intended of course. I have nothing against anybody at all, and I would just as happily joke about white people... :)

                                I have read a slightly different version here in which the boy flew with his mother. And she also had a contingency plan for if the "N" was reached, in which case they both would identify as "Zulu".

                                The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

                                  I know. That version is slightly better, but I couldn't find it... :sigh:

                                      She actually sued her University for discrimination against her because she was white in a predominantly black school. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/06/16/ousted-spokane-naacp-head-sued-howard-u-for-discrimination-claiming-was-white/[^] Psycho describes her pretty well. Very confused for sure. :doh:

                                      There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

                                        She is playing a reversal on the "gay rights" movement - they want to pretend it is a civil rights (race) movement. But it's not. It is just a leftist ploy to get votes. You cannot choose your parents or heritage... you do choose what deviant behaviors to engage or avoid. "I identify with African America" vs "I identify with being a man/woman" She wants to pretend she is a different heritage - in the same as homosexuals want to pretend they are a different gender. I'm curious to see how far she is able to play it out. Will she be called out (likely) or will the whole "gay rights" get called out (unlikely). X| :~

                                          I don't think you know what a homosexual is.

                                          Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
