Biden And Racial Slurs

[Pogo]

OED:

Orient (n.)
c.1300, "the East" (originally usually meaning what is now called the Middle East), from Old French orient "east" (11c.), from Latin orientem (nominative oriens) "the rising sun, the east, part of the sky where the sun rises," originally "rising" (adj.), present participle of oriri "to rise" (see orchestra). The Orient Express was a train that ran from Paris to Istanbul via Vienna 1883-1961, from the start associated with espionage and intrigue.
orient (v.)
c.1727, originally "to arrange facing east," from French s'orienter "to take one's bearings," literally "to face the east" (also the source of German orientierung), from Old French orient "east," from Latin orientum (see Orient (n.)). Extended meaning "determine bearings" first attested 1842; figurative sense is from 1850. Related: Oriented; orienting.

Not a damn thing about slurs or "anti-Semitism" or any reference to any group of people at all. I call complete bullshit.

Call ABC News and tell them, along with MSNBC and CNN!!!! It is them calling him on it.

Why did you post it here then, if you knew it has no basis?

Sure the Indian reference was when he said the only way you can visit a 7-11 these days is if you have an India accent ( East Indian)

Shylock has been offensive for years.

ooooh really ? news to me.., but then i was never a fan of Shookspear.

 

[Mr. H.]

Democrats are the biggest racists, look at Obama, LBJ and FDR

Man cons are so sensitive. Why do they have to be so PC about everything?

You know the difference. It's blatant, it's endemic, and it's endorsed by the lapdog liberal media.

You have just earned yourself.... The Mr. H. BITCHSLAP!

Perhaps you've been wondering why I feel impeaching Our Kenyan President is less than a good idea.

Consider who would replace Him.

Nay, wait for regime change then go for a treason conviction. Not only better odds, the punishments are much more fun to watch than simple disgrace.

It does have a basis. The Anti Defamation League called him on his offensive use of the word Shylock today. Biden apologied. Oh and look at that , yet another left wing paper covering his offensive and racist term.

Again, since I take it we've conceded my point on accents and on "orient" -- how is this Shakespeare character "racist"?

For that matter, how does the fact that some clown "called" him on it make it legitimate? The RNC spokesman in the "orient" link gets to rewrite the dictionary on her own now?

That's where I got the Orient watch point btw---- from the commentary on that site. They can't believe what they're reading any more than I can.


What in the fuck is wrong with people??

Like I said, you don't like it write to ABC, CBS, CNN and MSNBC


You can start here:

The word “Orient” is considered widely outdated and could be perceived as offensive, or insensitive, especially when used in reference to people.

You can refer to the Anti Defamation League about that inquiry if you like.

The remark drew a rebuke from Anti-Defamation League (ADL) National Director Abraham Foxman, who told Yahoo News that the word "remains an offensive characterization to this day" and that the vice president "should have been more careful."

[Pogo]

Biden isn't an idiot, he's the VP BECAUSE he's a racist

Funnny -- I asked for an explanation on this, two people "agreed" yet nobody can explain it.

Groupthink?

 

[Pogo]

Democrats and their lefty media are always telling us about "dog whistles", we have a Vice President who slurs Indians and Jews and the media calls it " a poor choice of words"? When Klansman calls a black man a N, is that NOT a poor choice of words?

Hey, a double hitter today from Biden, first his "Shylock" comment earlier today and NOW he calls Asia "the Orient".

"Shylock"?? What the fuck -- SHYLOCK?? We're going to Shakespeare to scour up PC outrage now, are you shittin' me?

This is the only "Shylock" I ever heard of, and runs in Sunday comics to this day:

-- anybody wanna fill me in on the "Indian" reference?
----

Sure the Indian reference was when he said the only way you can visit a 7-11 these days is if you have an India accent ( East Indian)

Shylock has been offensive for years.

Uh-- where did you hear that? Can a slur be a slur if no one even knows about it?

And how is the Indian reference a slur?

Anybody?

Right. It's not offensive because a Democrat said it

How is it "offensive" at all, Frank?

HOW is it "offensive", Frank?

HOW is it "offensive", Frank??

Racism is like obstruction of justice; when Republicans do it, it's a crime, when Democrats do it, well it's just what they do and who they are

Oh, everybody knew about his Indian comment the same way they knew about Hilary Clinton bashing Indian.

“I love this quote. It’s from Mahatma Gandhi. He ran a gas station down in St. Louis for a couple of years. Mr. Gandhi, do you still go to the gas station? A lot of wisdom comes out of that gas station” – Hillary Clinton, Former Secretary of State

“You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking!” – Joe Biden, Vice President

Ah good -- new material. The old sure wasn't working.

Care to try again on the Ghandi quote? How's THAT one "offensive"??

Ya think it might mean something that nobody can answer these questions? Ya think?

Seriously? Wow.

If I said the only way you can visit a McDonald's in Harlem is to know Ebonics or speak with an Ebonics accent, that would not be racist? Of course it would be!

How can an accent be "racist"?

What part of a spoken accent is determined by race?

Is someone perhaps confuserated by what "racism" MEANS?

Racism is the belief that one race is superior/inferior to another.
-- now what on gods green earth does that have to do with accents?

LOL Pogo, keep deflecting OR you could start advocating against all the dumbasss PC shit, not just the stuff the dems get caught for!

WTF, "deflecting"??? I'm tackling head on. I'm demanding a basis for any of these wispy memes. Haven't got one yet. What does that tell you?

Funny how that works, eh?

How is it "offensive" at all -- regardless who says it?

HOW?

 

[Pogo]

When did offensive words become socially and legally unacceptable?

Legally when the First Amendment went down. Socially -- you'll have to be more specific.

I've answered you, you just want to pretend as if I have not, because you want to pretend Biden and Clinton were not making bigoted and racist remarks. Come one Pogo, if you can't see how inferring Gandhi owned a gas station is not racist and fueling stereotype that certain ethnic groups are synonymous with operating gas stations, there is really no point in continuing. Clinton apologized for her remarks as well.
