It seems like the 88s have been out in force recently. Is the election bringing them out of the woodwork, or is it just all the kids out of school?

Max-Power,
Im also in FL. Ive noticed it the past few months, so I dont think its just kids out of school. Could be the political climate, who knows. There are often times now where I can feel the divisiveness in social settings. [tin foil hat on - it seems like this has been a steady progression, which could ramp up into something major if it continues.] -Ed |

yes that is exactly what we are suggesting that criticizing him in any way is racist. |
|
|
Explain. You mean like all the disgruntlement over a white guy getting stomped?
|
|
I believe him to be an economic terrorist and Marxist, how anyone could spin that as racist is beyond me. |
|
|
I bet that the ones on this site will not be here to give their thoughts................
|
|
there is a fine line between discussion of racial issues and real racism. sadly most people here don't understand it.
not everything negative stated is racism. many here haul out the racist card the same way al sharpton does. it's gotten to the point a racial discussion of any sort gets blown out of proportion and the race trolls on both side go nutz. |
|
I know there is plenty wrong with that dirtbag no need to even consider race. |

Well, I was rascist long before Obama came along...... So I shall take it as a compliment. with scumbags like him out there, is being considered a rascist such a bad thing really? |
||
|
Black, white, yellow, brown.... if you really get to know someone you can find a lot more reasons to hate them than the color of their skin. I am an equal opportunity hater

Does Hank drive around with a big 88 on his car?? |

Cdog understands. You dont. |

|
I think mainly the election and the absolute fawning of the media and their pit bull like defense of any possible attack on Obama as being racist
Its is getting so outlandish I think many people last threads of tolerance are gone |
|
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU PEOPLE?! errr +1 Too many people get extremely insensitive or overly sensitive. |
|
|
You leave Taxman and his new boots alone. As for the 88's, I haven't really noticed any significant increase in them posting here lately. |
|
|
No, I'm pretty sure the election is bringing threads like this. "I'm not racist, WHY ARE YOU " |
|
|
That's why you get paid the big bucks. |
|
|
Why the dismissal? Was his comment directed toward you? If not, his statement is certainly valid outside of ARF and to a lesser extent here, as well. |

It started when Hilary conceded. By now it's so crazy there is a atleast one race thread going every page.
I can't wait for right before the elections. |
|
I think it has more to do with a rich, elite, anti-gun, black power type being force fed to you every waking minute of the day and all who question is natural annointment being labled a racist. |

Dammit you can feel the white guilt and frustration in this thread.
As neither a black person nor a white person, I feel that I can be an effective mediator of this dilemma. WHITE PEOPLE: Don't feel bad if you dislike people because they are complete fucking idiots. Moreover, don't feel like you have to stifle your calling-out of said idiots just because they are black. You will be persecuted, sure, but sparing someone the criticism due to their skin color is a product of the very thing you were made to feel guilty about in the first place! Don't discriminate! BLACK PEOPLE: In this age of ever-increasing mixed-race relationships, integration, affirmative action, and overall black empowerment, what will it take for the complaints to stop? Reparations? Not going to happen. EVERYONE: Take a cue from your countrymen who "get it" and don't blame your problems on "the man" when time and time again you accept his charity. This has been termed a "cycle of poverty", and will continue unless you or your children end up realizing that the American Dream MUST BE WORKED FOR. Any other notion is a pipe dream and not worth hinging your future upon. |

For clarification, I'm talking about people posting things like pictures of chicken and watermelon in Obama threads. Not people simply thinking he's unfit to be POTUS because of his socialist plans for the US.

|
I thought I was the only one. What's an 88? |
|
|
Fixt… |

H is the 8th letter of the alphabet. 88=HH=heil hitler. It's a pretty common symbol for neo-nazis to use, and therefor has become a short way of saying neo-nazi. As in, "those fucking 88s better get the fuck off this board." |

"You know, when it comes to race people are always like 'I don't care if they're black, white, purple, or green!' Now hold on a minute, we've gotta draw the line somewhere! FUCK PURPLE PEOPLE! Unless they're choking...then help 'em."

I just bought a toy police car for my four year old at target. Made by Tonka (Hasbro). Lights, sirens, radio chatter, doors open, pretty cool, she loves it and so does my 15 month old boy. When I got it home, I noticed the squad car number is.....88. Coincidence, or is someone at the toy designer studio making a point? hard to tell from the pic angle, but there is a big ol "88" on the roof. Thought it was a bit odd. |

it's a pretty sad commentary that you actually have to make this clarification. |
|
|
Also, just realized that a pool tables 8 ball is black! I now suddenly feel so guilty having the white ball smack around the black one all these years!!!!! Everyone get rid of your black balls!!!!!!oneoneeeleven1!! |
