I lost my dad to Fox News: How a generation was captured by thrashing hysteria

[Prince.Skeletor]

Who cares? Blood doesn't mean shyt if it's not backed up by other forms of shared ties. If someone in my family was a hateful bigot, I'd cut them off, too.

don't say someone in your family, this isnt' a weird uncle or a half cousin, this is YOUR FATHER!!!!!

You are another form of stupid in comparison to a bigot, both of you are idiots.

People have flaws, you deal with it, you don't give up on YOUR OWN DAMN FATHER!

I don't have any bigots in my family, not even one. But I'd take a bigot over someone like you anyday.

Yeah I am sure it has nothing at all to do with the fact that Obama is black.

If it did, could you fukking blame her?

You got shyt fukked up out here white boy.

40 years ago, I REALLY doubt you'd be out here with us fighting for our autonomy.

I really don't give a fukk why someone votes for Obama. I was responding to a post saying that the reason why so many older black people love Obama is because of Fox News criticizing him. I pointed out that is bullshyt and that the only reason they love him is because he is black.

Thats NOT the only reason though, so for you to trivialize it is bullshyt.

Color is one thing.

Shared experience is another.

You wouldn't understand.

What meaning does that have? Why should fatherhood hold inherent importance?

These people are probably literally dying of stress and blood pressure problems thanks to being instilled with this shyt on a regular basis.

Who's to say this isn't all by design? Not as the ends to the means, but rather a consequence of gettin those ends.

I lost my dad to Fox news too, and he's black.

Shameful, shameful display.

because your mom and dad are the closest milestone points to you as far as family values go.
Its' the same reason why as a society we should respect the elderly, the elderly should be people that we show the most respect to as far as strangers go

Yes, but we're talking about situations where parents' values are specifically not positive.

The shorter version: a black man in the White House finally gave racist ass cacs an excuse to be racist ass cacs in public.

Yeah because everyone knows that criticizing the president is racist.

My mom is the opposite of the dad in the story. She never paid attention to politics much her whole life. In her old age, she's gotten so disgusted by Fox News and right-wingers in general during the Obama years, that she's turned into a gung ho Democrat and has Obama and Democratic party bumper stickers on her car. I think a lot of old black people are like her.

I voted for Obama in his second term just to shyt on republicans and mittens. Most conservatives I know are disgusting individuals.

I don't think the white right realizes how much they've galvanized the growing non-white population that will eventually eclipse them over the past few years. Hell, even lazy, apathetic, left-leaning white people got fired up. I know a white weed head who doesn't do shyt with himself and smokes multiple times a day and never cared about politics, and he got up at 5AM last election day to vote for Obama.

Did I say that?

Sounds like my Aunt.

She watches MSNBC every second she's in the house. When she comes to visit the rest of us in maryland, she controls the main tv and has it on MSNBC the whole time.

But hey, I rather her be super political than super religious
