talking politics

i like talking politics...with people who know how to civilly do so...

this conservative puerto rican dude at my job was arguing and carrying on about various political things...telling a black girl that she's only voting for obama because he's black and blahblahblah. he was basically picking on her since because she wasn't politically savvy she was basically a straw man that he could feel superior to. luckily i was absent for this part

but according to him, if barack wins it's only because he's black and good-looking...
is it that easy?
we should have just nominated denzel ages ago then...
but you know how easy it is for those negros in politics. you know with all those black governors [4] and all those black senators [umm...barack obama]
they just coast on through...someone should do something about that...

he goes on about reverse racism and how he abhores affirmative action and the like all while almost screaming and basically working himself into a lather...

he was like the physical embodiment of fox news...it was quite entertaining

i asked what the fuck reverse racism was, but he could not give me an actual answer. what the fuck is reverse racism? the majority discriminating against...the majority? or is there some brown version of "the man" that i was unaware of behind the curtains pulling some strings blocking the poor white man from higher education and gainful employment?

i chose not to point out the fact that he himself may have benefitted from affirmative action, even though he never got around to explaining why he hated it so much. i pointed out that white women were the main benefactors of affirmative action and he goes on about how we're not talking about the world we're talking about business which made absolutely no sense...


why are conservative people so wack?
