I think this is the only reason to “adopt” a Black. Make it sleep out in the barn, or garage, and then pull it out to the front parlor when necessary.

..."It"? Never mind that there's something more than a little repugnant in the idea of adopting a child (or pet) ONLY to show off, if that's what she's speaking of. I'd rather not defile my browser history with the site proper, thank you.
And this is any different from slavery how?
The very fact that there are people who still believe slavery is a good idea makes me fear for posterity. How come religions can have a 100% indoctrination rate (such as in medieval Europe or modern Afghanistan) but rationalists can't do the same for beliefs which are actually true?
I have the nauseating feeling that knowing the context of this paragraph, or worse yet reading the thread that spawned it, would only hollow me out and leave me a man-shaped husk animated by violent intention.
Okay, so I bit the bullet and looked up the context.
This is in reference to Paul LePage, the governor of Maine, who has a few racist leanings (he hates the NAACP and has openly dismissed them as a "special interest") but also has an adopted black son. The gang of half-evolveds at Occidental Dissent consider this his only flaw, and mostly believe he only adopted the kid for political points.
And that's where Denise's little bon mot comes in, and now I need to rinse my eyes.
Adopt a black baby (which you refer to as "it") so you can abuse the child like that? I don't normally believe in using a rubber hose stuffed wiith lead shot on human flesh, but... Denise, present your butt.
I'll bet this broad would put the poor kid in a goofy jockey uniform & make him/her stand out front with a lantern.
Also, she calls this hypothetical kid not just an "it" but "a Black"...not "a Black baby/kid" just "a Black", like the kid's a toaster or something.
Bigots have weird ways of referring to people. Concerning Jews, for example. They seem to be incapable of saying "Jewish" or "Judaism", it's always "Jew" this & "Jews" that. Why is that? Are bigots prone to crappy grammar or something?
Denise...you're diseased!
After reading this, I agree that someone needs to be kept on a short leash and bedded down in the garage.
However, I fear we're going to disagree on who precisely that person is.
I think Occidental Dissent may be one of the few websites on the Internet worse than Stormfront, what with this insane bitch, the Fr. John+ asshole, and the Hunter Wallace idiot who wants to secede from the US and create an Apartheid state in the Deep South. It's crazy how people like this are allowed to exist in the modern world.
@ Brendan:
....WHAT religion? I see no religion here.
Also, because faith can be modified to support what you already believe, not what is actually there.
Black as a noun is one of my red flags for, if not outright hateful racism, than at least ignorance. In this case it is pretty hateful, but when I see black as a noun I know that person can be safely ignored.
(Same for if I see female as a noun. "A female X" is sometimes used as a legitimate neutral descriptor, but 80% of the time if someone says "a female" or "females" instead of "a woman" or "women", they're saying something misogynist.)
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
