Well you gave your opinion a couple of times and you're not done with it. Also you stuck your nose in the buisness I have with another poster, something you can't seem to forgive me for.

I speak when I want not when someone decides to grace me with their words. I also speak on a subject as much as I want.

You are welcome to kind of take your own advice and let this go, after all you have given your opinion more than once.

Your absolutely flawed, I'd like you to go back to my posts and point out where exactly I "stuck my nose" in any business of yours before you posted to me! I didn't and you insinuated that one of my posts was including you. I've said it before and I'll say it again it's pointless to fight someone else's battle without probable cause or significant reason too. You blindly defended a person that has a man in SS uniform as his avatar, clearly your picking GREAT company too back up and I'm guessing you have significant reason to do so... correct? So if that's so and I "insinuate" things like you do then I'd expect that your a nazi sympathizer with clear cut racist ideals. Isn't it great when people take things that has nothing to do with them out of context??? Again I had nothing to say to you in the first place and still don't, so if you please I'd like you to leave me alone, your not contributing anything further to this thread except for needless bickering... THANKS!

This storys so ridiculous I'm going to get my Brother to start selling Obama Fried chicken in his restaurant. Serious racist don't make me laugh the only thing Racist about it are all the blacks who are trying to twist it into something to beat the white man down with.

I hope this guy wins in court and some common sense comes from it.

Here's the thing: While he may claim he is not a racist, he should have known what he was saying is. He should have known that others around him would find that offensive. I don't know about you, but when I hear someone say the n-word, or call Mexicans spics(which is just a slur for Hispanic and it's offensive to me directly), the last thing you want is to have to hear it come from someone's mouth over and over again. I would have had him fired and off the job site before the ink was dry on the paperwork. This man should have known better, if you want to tell jokes like this, do it on your own time.

And- THIS is why, I ONLY hire older, white people! Plus- make them sign a contract, that ALL speach, is allowed, as long as no-one, is harrassing someone else, in MY WORKPLACE!
F! this "rascist" crapola!! I'm tired, of every person, darker than I am, constantly saying "rassist!!" (I'm, 1/4 Cherokee- however, since I've lived in the NW for 20 years, you cannot tell- I'm VERY "white") Give me 4 months, at my Ranch, in Nevada- I'll be darker, than most of the "rassist!" shouting goons!

You seriously only hire old white people?
Wow.
That's just...
Well, I guess it means you can sit around and make all the inappropriate race-slandering, derogatory jokes you want without having any of those pesky coloreds getting uppity at ya, huh?

I didn't think people like you actually existed anymore.

Could this thread get more depressing!?

So, to show you're not racist, you only hire white people.

What a wonderful way to violate several state and federal labor laws.

Oh, and nice job mocking the way you think African-Americans are supposed to talk. "Rassist." Seriously?

I'm very white myself, and I have no problem calling you one.

I hope some common sense comes...but I'm afraid there wouldn't be enough left after it gets to you.

If it wasn't a racist joke, then exactly what was the joke?

Did he settle on watermelon randomly? Did he try "Obama apples" or "Obama oranges" first?

I honestly loled when I read the thread title, I think the op should be banned for posting that here.

See how stupid that sounded? America is filled with weak humorless idiologists, they swear like that man was strait up calling obama a 'n-word', notice how you got upset when I typed that even though I am not emplying that obama is a niger, is that even a word? What does it mean? Can anyone please explain in great detail what a 'n-word' is?

And who says watermelon is liked by black people only? I love eating watermelon, does that make me a wetback for eating watermelon? A watermelon eating beaner?

I knew they existed still. Heck even before that person posted you could tell they do. Some people like to think that racism is dead because we have a black president... so we don't need anything in place to protect people from people like this person.

It's very VERY depressing which is why after a while people just dont have the energy to 'fight back' or even bother to rationalize with the person/people anymore. Which is why there are some organizations that help them with it. Some of these organizations have lost their way in greed though.

You will find your answers you are wishing for as well as some insight if you read the whole thread.

Beware though because it is actually very depressing as CodyOutLaw has stated.

I agree with CodyOutLaw, "black skinned people" can't get over the fact that facism isn't going anywhere than they will be complaining for ever, every white person and mexican person has made a black joke before and same goes for blacks making white and wetback jokes, blacks are overly sensetive about something they know nothing about.

at one point i dont think he should be fired for a funny joke,even if its little racist,but in the other hand when there are countless unemployed SKILLED PEOPLE,why would positions are filled with arrogant incompetent loosers who only joke around?

This topic and some of the replies highlight the huge difference in attitudes on ''racism'' between the US and the more mature attitude of other countries, including Britain.

Some Americans get so precious about this subject and are so race-obsessed. It is my opinion that those that see ''racism'' in everything are the truly racially biased people.

Different races, cultures and nationalities' cuisine is a common source of humour, and to name just a few culinary stereotypes that are often humourously commented on:

French - smell of garlics, eat baguettes, onions and frog's legs.
Italians - pizza.
Australians - anything involving barbecuing, and also swigging lager.
Germans -bratwurst.
Dutch - cheese.
Indians, Pakistanis - curry.
Chinese - dogs.
Black people - fried chicken.

Even within the UK, there are streotypes of Northerners being ''fat, pie eaters'', and Scottish eating haggis, fried mars bars and being whisky drinkers.
There's nothing prejudiced about these if they are humourously referenced.

Watermelons, apparently, are a fruit that black people are stereotyped to like; Obama is half black; so it's only an attempted joke on that as far as I can see.
If the president was of Italian descent, and someone said ''I'm just going to out and get [president's name] food'' meaning pizza, surely nobody could be that uptight to consider that ''racist'' ? So why is this any different ?

So, there used to be some mocking depictions of black people eating watermelon in the old days ? So what ? That was decades ago. Ancient history.

Why do so many Americans seem incapable of moving on from something in the distant past ? Why perpetuate racial ''problems'' that aren't there ?

Comments about Irish and potatoes have far more of a directly offensive historical connotation than a few mocking cartoons, yet it's not uncommon to hear references made about Irish and potatoes, which a lot of Irish take in good part, because it relates to something a long time ago.

Many Americans need to take a look at their attitudes towards race, and to realise that constantly bringing up non-issues like this one is divisive and counter-productive to the anti-racist stance that they claim to hold.
