OH MY.

From SBB:

FWIW: we think you could hear this sentiment in any number of other SEC tailgates.

Bay Area Bear says:

@150 OMG ZING TWO HAW HAW HAW YEW GOT ME.

I guess that we’re going by the “You’re A Complete Retard” argument:

I count one Michael Richards, and about 7-8 tailgaters. Thus, it is a proven fact that there are 7 to 8 times more racists in the south than in LA.

QED

OH YEW GOT IM GOOD THAT TIME DALE HAW HAW ZING.

Annapolis Doug says:

Bay Area…pay attention.

You are lumping all southerners as racists…I was trying to make a point by lumping all Bay Area people as gay…

It’s ridiculous to generalize people.

6 LSU fans said something totally ignorant and you jumped all over the entire South as racist. (post 123)

I don’t assume you are homosexual just because you live in the most gay city in the world.

Now do you get it?

Then again.

I probably wrong.

‘Bay Area’ is gay. You don’t live in San Fransisco for the cheap housing.

Bay Area Bear,

The Bay Area is the most polarized city in the country. You are simply wildly ignorant if you believe elsewise. Proof…..College Republicans is the largest student group at Cal.

JT California says:

Before I make a point:

The Bay Area is not a city. Get it right. Also, I graduated from Cal, and the main reason the College Republicans is the biggest group is because conservatives flock together at Cal due to the “liberal” atmosphere.

To move on, telling someone to get a job is a complete over simplification. I may have missed this point being made, seeing as there have been so many posts, but has no one even considered the past of this country in contributing to the situation? Racism was institutionalized in the South until the 1960’s. Furthermore, while the laws may have changed, the attitudes haven’t. Black people have been oppressed and have not been made welcome in most white, Southern communities. Why would they be inclined to leave somewhere, as rundown as it may be, believing that the system will not help them succeed.

Bottom line: We are all human beings, and we were given compassion as an emotion for a reason. Instead of hiding behind whatever emotions we may feel, good or bad, we should make an attempt to understand them. Maybe by understanding them, we can change our attitudes and become BETTER PEOPLE. Everyone needs to stop excusing these attitudes and justifying them. There are reasons for everything, but that doesn’t make them okay.

TigerNacho says:

The South is a bastion for racism. Yankees are hypocrites. Poor people are lazy and content to lead a life of hand-to-mouth subsistence. People in San Fransisco are gay. And not the gay-as-in-happy gay, but the gay-as-in-I-enjoy-doing-someone-with-the-same-naughty-parts-as -I-have gay.
YES. All true.

@139

I’m from New Orleans, and those guys are definitely from the suburban parishes. I’d say St. Bernard or the West Bank (of Jefferson). I’d also say some of them look like some of New Orleans’ finest.

Sigh. There are racist asshats everywhere, but I bet this woman looked for the biggest drunken idiots she could find, and then asked them that question after they’d been drinking since the prior Thursday. That said, I hope this video goes all over the internet, and that the people who serve them drinks, cook their food, and bus their tables can recognize them and act accordingly.

Harvey Wireman says:

Uncle Verne Lundqvist, an EDSBS favorite, yesterday during the USC-ucla basketball telecast called USC’s OJ Mayo, “OJ Simpson”. Then he corrected himself and it was amaizingly funny. (USC, like in football, beat ucla again this year.)

At least Uncle Verne did not say: “I got confused because they all look alike”, like the LSU fans on this video thread might say.

Verne needs to get to SEC football games again, where he is really good, while in b ball he is ok.

Coop says:

I am, by no means, a SEC fan, but it is rather obvious to me that Verne certainly enjoys calling SEC football games much more than any college basketball game.

He won’t ever get Duke-Carolina as that is Nantz/Packer territory, assuming that Nantz is not calling a tournament at the beginning of the Florida swing like Doral, but I digress.

And, to think, Verne is the one that CBS uses in their promo from the ‘86 Masters, as he was the one who called Nicklaus’ birdie on 17.

Today I guess you could say he fits in a bit more in Athens or Gainesville or Knoxville than at the ANGC, but he could return back to golf prominence if he so desired.

And, for anyone that wants to tell me that Verne has had a booth at a hole at Augusta in April in recent years, I will respond that I have not missed a weekend round on the grounds in over 15 years. So, I would not know one way or the other…

Kevin says:

Those projects in question, just like much of the 9th ward, were run down and in shambles way before the storms hit. There was no public outcry to change them then but now, 2 years after the storm, somebody wants to do something about them. The timing is perfect too seeing that the 2 year limit is up on the FEMA trailers. People should look toward Cameron parish, which was completely destroyed by Rita and see what they’re doing…they didn’t wait for the government, they go in there themselves and started rebuilding immediately. If the people protesting really want to go back home, they would have done so already. Though these guys said it in blunt term, they were right so y’all can look as this a racist and be blinded to the real issues at hand, or you can wake up, see what the real issue is, and do something about it,

WTF?!?!?

I take a few days of checking in on EDSBS to follow the political frivalties and then run into this lighthearted banter. Sheesh!!!

Some quick observations and facts:

1) I hope everyone is paying attention as Hill and Bill are ginning up the white vote against Barak. FWIW, I don’t think they’re reacists but nothing can be permitted to get in the way of Hill’s coronation.

2) It may not be easy growing up in the projects but I know people who started there who went on to Harvard Med, Harvard Law and the like and are doing plenty well for themselves, somewhat better than our cajun friends in the video I dare say.

3)

a) Anthony Ervin, a black man and fellow Cal alumn won the gold medal in the 50 free in swimming in Sydney in 2000 and held numerous NCAA titles and records.

b) Cullen Jones, who is black is one of the fastest swimmers in the world and one of the USA’s best hopes for sprint Gold in Beijing.

Coop says:

Marcilliac,

1) Nobody gives two shits, and like the majority on this board, I will be voting for whomever the GOP awards the nomination to. Regardless, I very much prefer Hillary to Obama because the Clintons will take care of the economy, not taxes but the economy, in the manner that I prefer AND, universal health care will pass over my dead body, among many other more influential persons.

2) Give me names. Of course there are people who went to Wharton for undergrad and grad, Johns Hopkins for med school, and received the opportunity to study at Oxford, post-grad, who came from poverty.

My regards to them. Do you know any of these people? Did you hang out with them in college, or did you merely allow them to bus your trays and wash your cafeteria dishes at Cal?

Limousine liberals are the biggest hypocrites known to man.

3) Nobody cares. I have never bought the “black people can’t swim,” that is until I went to football camps in high school and then realized that, black people “choose not to swim.”

I am not going to play the, “white Southerners treat black people, overall, much better than Yankees do” card like others enjoy doing, but last time I checked we all live amongst each other, and I have never feared or avoided dealing with a black man or woman in my life.

Granted, I have not been hanging out on Auburn Avenue in Atlanta around 3AM, either, but the last paragraph is probably more than I can say for all you douchebags spouting, “equality for all,” all the time.

JT California says:

Everyone can argue about what these people meant to say, what they see, etc. but there is no acceptable excuse for racist comments. Stop justifying it, regardless. It’s unnerving.

Furthermore, why do these people even care that much about what the black people in New Orleans are doing now? These people never made an attempt to help them during the devastation, but now have many comments on how those same people choose to deal with that situation, right or wrong. When you’re happy and content with your own life, you don’t have negative things to say about others. Overtly racist comments are often a sign of insecurity and illustrate a person’s need to feel superior based on arbitrary fact because they don’t seeing anything real within themselves that gives them value.

Maybe a little bit of a stretch and over-analysis, but to many degrees, it’s true.

139 – You’re right. Those weren’t typical southern accents. But, they were definitely southerners. A bunch of loud-mouth yats from New Orleans, born and bred, no doubt.

marcillac says:

Coop,

Since were talking politics, just to be perfectly clear, I’ll vote for the Republican provided its not Huck whose inclinations to socialism, appeasement and impressive sleaziness one would be hard pressed to surpass. It’s all about supply side, a realistic foreign policy (read significantly more assertive than W’s in the last year except for in Iraq and, abviously much more effective), and constitutionalist originalist judges. The Hillary/Obama conflict is entertaining though and its worth noting that had any Republican intimated one quarter of what the Clinton campaign has he or she would have enthusiastically crucified by EVERY civil rights group and across 80% of editoiral pages across this country.

Yes, I do know some “of these people”, one of whom I work with quite closely. The other one is universally and justly regarded as one of the most impressive young infectious disease specialist sin New York. Grew up in the Harlem projects, single mom, didn’t know her dad, the works. 1450 on her SATs (early 90s – have no idea what the scores mean these days). No need for affirmative action here, got there entirely on the merits.

Might add that many beneficiaries of affirmative action are black kids who grow up in perfectly comfortable upper middle class circumstances (parents are professionals driving BWMs and such) and in some instances slack of because they know they don’t need to push themselves to get access to the best opportunities.

Nice going Orson! Here we are in the middle of crunch time for football recruiting and you trotted this out. Timing is everything I guess. These assholes don’t represent the university but that doesn’t matter right now. You can be sure the link to that video will find its way to lots of recruits. Well, no matter. Florida usually has a higher rated class of recruits than LSU anyway. Next time you attend a game in Baton Rouge stop by the Law School parking lot. Just holler Rifle. I’ll find you.

DC Trojan says:

Rifle762 @ 175, I somehow doubt that it’s news to recruits that there might be a few bigots in any fan base. I suspect the MNC will matter more to LSU prospects. That and the taffy.

Coop @ 171: Sir, you are not everyone. I know you have a hard time with that, but it’s true. I am impressed though that you were able to read Marcillac’s post and discern that he didn’t go to Cal on financial aid and is in fact a limousine liberal. Nice job introducing your favorite political insult.

While I’m patting you on the back, this was priceless as well: I am not going to play the, �white Southerners [...] card, and then you do it anyway. My only constructive criticism: if you had worked in the “Delta leaves by sundown” crack again, it would have been a perfect post.

Regardless, I think Orson should take him up on the offer. I like the image of him wandering around a parking lot shouting, “Rifle!” two years from now. Imagine the number of helpful cajuns who will supply him with one.

Settle down guys!! Who said anything about a fight? It’d be great to have a beer with a professional smart ass like Orson. How else can he find us? “Uh, we’ll be the guys in purple and gold eating and drinking too much.” Plenty of cold beer for Orson or anyone else who shows up, unless its those guys in the video! And no, I’m not a lawyer, but I do drink their beer.
