Yeah, Right: Creator Of “Re-Nig” Bumper Sticker Says It’s “Not Racist”

[Jaskalas]

I cannot believe there is so much attention being paid to a f'ing bumber sticker (however humorous and/or offensive it may be). This is unreal...

The new witch hunt.

It just amazes me people get so worked up about this. Is it funny? If your panties aren't on too tight, yeah, it's funny. The real issue is, for those who laugh, why are they laughing? If it's someone who just appreciates some word play, likes a good zing, it should be a humorous bumper sticker. If it's some racist dude, he's laughing for an entirely different reason. I just do not get these uptight whiners who automatically jump to the conclusion that because someone would find this humorous, that they're automatically a racist.

I found a lot of the anti-Bush propaganda funny, even if I thought it wrong/delusional. Cannot people feel the same about this?

Good point. Although it is pretty bizarre for 2012.

I agree. I appreciated the play on words, even thought I thought it was done in poor taste.

EDIT: I recently saw a joke which went "No matter how successful a black man tries to be, he still lives in government housing" and it had a picture of Obama at the White House. I laughed at the sheer wrongness - and inventiveness - of it.

2012 is going to out do 2008 for election rediculousness, mark my words...

I am waiting for the Obama zombies to return.

See, that's what I'm talking about. It's funny. It's funny because it's so non-PC. That's what makes it funny. It's funny the same way the anti-Bush (just use Google Images) stuff was.

The most funny thing is seeing/hearing people get uptight about it though. Over a bumper sticker. Seriously? Seriously?

Gots to work up the outrage.

ReNig234.

Couldn't resist...

Is this as funny?

"No matter how successful a n1gger tries to be, he still lives in government housing" (plus Obama picture)

Now that is moderately funny, because the punch line is so unexpected and yet has a grain of truth. You'd never expect the punch line to be Obama, and yet the White House is in fact owned by the government. Further, it's not mean; Obama obviously isn't living in government housing as we think of it from the setup. That's like something Leno would do. The bumper stickers by contrast are merely racial slurs, and nothing clever about them considering that the word "renege" is opposite to the racial slur.

Undoubtedly.

Sure. In a racist way, it's funny. Ha. Ha. Same as if you told a whitey joke. Ha. Ha.

Look, the world didn't end. Funny huh?

OP is better. Yours is long winded and ineffectual.

If I were Leftist I'd want you hanged.

You used Confuse! It's super effective!

I'm sure it's because I'm from Texas, but who gives a f*ck.
Racists will be racists. But ofc, I'm from Texas. You won't understand that comment unless you're from here.


Edit: Personally I don't mind. It's like, go ahead and have a Nazi bumper sticker, give everyone a heads up.

 

[Herr Kutz]

Democrats should stop worrying themselves over a silly bumper sticker and instead focus on continuing the good fight of supporting baby killing.

In my opinion, no. With the racial slur it's mean. Humor needs to be good-natured.

To be funny, there has to be some level of implied sympathy for the black man.

Urban Dictionary? The proper spelling is renege.

Thank you.

 

[waggy]

lol re-nig when talking about a black pres ain't racist? HAHHAHA yeah sure it ain't.

 

[fskimospy]

The new witch hunt.

Why won't someone think of the poor, oppressed racists?

 

[nobodyknows]

Exactly, we don't want them getting pissed and starting a riot

 

[peonyu]

I was told, by a forum member, that only whites can be racist. The bumper sticker is therefor only racist if whites buy it; it is not racist if non-whites buy it.

Thats been known for decades now, that only white people can be racist. This is 2012 everybody knows that these days.
