        It's like there's a contest to see who can come up with the nuttiest examples of racism or sexism.

            "Step In Time" is one of my favorite scenes in the movie. I guess that makes me a racist.

            It has often been said that a movie like "Blazing Saddles" could never be made today, but "Mary Poppins"? Wow.

                Then I must really be racist!

                    Well if you are racist, just think about how racist real homeless white people are for having dirty faces! Or coal miners! No wonder Obama shut down all the coal mines! They were racist breeding grounds. White rednecks running around in blackface all day!

                      Are they so arrogant that us poor whiteys can't try to pretend we're part of their royal blackness*?

                        My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

                        If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

                        This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

                          Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...
