[...] The concept is simple and has nothing to do with R-Rated activities. A social group gathers to celebrate the Christmas season. But rather than exchange gifts in the traditional way and express emotions and ideals of selflessness, generosity, thoughtfulness, and love, they play a game that centers around selfish gain, trickery, and theft. It’s very ironic. Thus, white people LOVE this game (see stuffwhitepeoplelike.com). [...]

[...] This is probably the most expensively decorated tree we’ve ever had. You see, I’ve found myself feeling more nostalgic lately and so I decided to decorate the wee tree with the collection of Reed & Baron silver crosses that Brian’s Granny and Pa gave to us years ago. And some plastic snowflakes from IKEA. I love the irony. [...]

@3rd eye blind:

Scum is a relative term, so the first people on earth couldn’t have been scum since there wasn’t anyone else to compare them to.

You said ‘even according to your own white Scientist’, considering the S in scientist is capitalized and you said ’tist, instead of ’tistS, I am inclined to believe you’re speaking of a certain scientist. Who?

‘You would not even be able to write on a piece of paper…if it weren’t for black people.’
———————————-
You’re a blundering idiot. T’sai Lun of… CHINA… invented paper roughly 2000 years ago. I didn’t know Chinese people were black two millenniums ago, dang. Papyrus was invented by the Egyptians, but it’s not really paper, now is it? By the way, Egyptians aren’t black either.

‘You would not even be able to…cut on a light…if it weren’t for black people.’
———————————-
Humphrey Davy invented the light bulb, and the discovery of electricity is up for debate between the Greeks, William Gilbert, and Benjamin Franklin. Greeks aren’t black, are they? William Gilbert and Benjamin Franklin certainly weren’t.

‘You would not even be able to…have blood transfusions if it weren’t for black people.’
———————————-
Jean-Baptiste Denys was the first person to successfully transfuse (some) blood in a human without killing them and James Blundell performed the first full transfusion. Oh, neither of them are black.

‘Not to mention the fact that your race thought the world was flat up until about 500 years ago. Any intelligent person knows in order to create a pyramid with the precise measurements as did the Egyptians that they were aware that the earth was round.’
———————————-
The alignment of the pyramids has NOTHING to do with the curvature of the Earth. Where in hell did you attend school? What makes you think that Egyptians knew the Earth was round? The Egyptians thought the Earth was bowl-shaped. My apologies, I didn’t realize that all the mathematicians, historiographers, and philosophers across the globe are wrong… and you’re the only one who’s right.

How can you be so blatantly dumb?

The biggest scum on the earth were the first people on the earth, even according to your own white Scientist. Check your history so that people don’t think you are as ignorant as you are a racist. You would not even be able to write on a piece of paper, cut on a light or have blood transfusions if it weren’t for black people. Not to mention the fact that your race thought the world was flat up until about 500 years ago. Any intelligent person knows in order to create a pyramid with the precise measurements as did the Egyptians that they were aware that the earth was round. Yes, and of course the first pyramids were discovered in Ethiopia and the Sudan. I think you have it backwards with the Asians, who were also good at math and by the way were credited with the discovery of gun powder. In which white people have used so destructively over the years. What you are good at is conquering other peaceful people, spreading disease and raiding there libraries. Then presenting there ideas as your own.
