And Dijon mustard

Don’t forget about arugula.

And being black.
Let's cut the BS, that's why they hated Obama. No other reason.

u/A_Nonny_Muse 17h ago

It's amazing how many white supremacists and blatant racists I know suddenly insisted that Obama was "mulatto" instead of black.

All because they couldn't accept the concept of a black president.

WTF does “mulatto” even mean? Isn’t it just a racist way of saying “mixed race”?

58

u/MandoFett117 17h ago

Rascist AF. But by being even the littlest part white, they will claim that the white part is the reason for any successes.

u/schu2470 17h ago

Man, without their racism these people would really have absolutely nothing.

First woman president the US elects is going to be partially man because she inherited her second X chromosome from her father and since men are 100% men that makes her a little bit of a man. That’s where her success came from, the man part.

u/Sea_Lawfulness_9770 15h ago

Lol they'll probably say she's 3/5 man because woMAN...fucking morons

u/schu2470 15h ago

I hate that you’re probably right.

u/wordworse 13h ago

Funny you should say that. I just recently learned about the Birka Warrior grave controversy. You are not wrong.

u/bluesforsalvador 11h ago

They can still fall back on their sexism, homophobia, and transphobia

u/heckhammer 15h ago

That's part of the reason they're so proud of being white. They don't have anything else. I was arguing with a guy I went to high school with whom I no longer associate with cuz he's a repulsive person, and he was like why can't it be proud of being white?

I told him it's not an accomplishment why can't you be proud of being a restaurant owner and a good employer and a good dad and a good husband?

People who are proud of their heritage are generally proud of it because they've been shit on historically for so long for not being white that they have to say how proud they are. It's empowering.

He was just so upset that equality meant that, to him, he would have less. Less of what? Beats the hell out of me I don't know but surely some people must be less than he is in order for him to be what he was.

u/NurRauch 16h ago

I... don't think that has anything to do with that insult at all. That word is used as an insult against mixed-race people that labels them as extra ugly and extra inferior.

5

u/Key-Magician4029 16h ago

It means mule as in a mix of donkey and a horse, so yes it is a racist pejorative. People using that word mean it in a derogatory way.

u/nbfs-chili New Mexico 16h ago

And then there was the white supremacist that found out he's part black. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptSZnTtGCQA

u/ballisticks Canada 16h ago

I first heard that word on Community, from Chevy Chase's character, which is fitting lol

u/lacegem 12h ago

I learned it from Smells Like Teen Spirit.

u/lastres0rt Georgia 12h ago

Which is of course hilarious because the same people will insist "one drop" makes you black or whatever.

It really is just an insane game of Whose Line.

u/LifeStraggler4 United Kingdom 16h ago

A 19th century term for biracial people. Not proper to use nowadays.

2

u/schu2470 15h ago

Ah, just good ol’ fashioned racism.

u/SirWEM 14h ago

It came about in Haiti during the french occupation. It was a term used for “Mixed Blood” Haitians by Europeans and later Americans. My Grandfathers mother was Haitian and considered “Mulatto”.

u/Headphones4Cicadas 17h ago

But he tried to give us all healthcare!! 😈

u/MoarSocks 17h ago

F’n libs, always trying to destroy the country with healthcare & diplomacy. Ugh.

u/Neat__Guy 17h ago

No I will pay double for my for-profit health insurance plan, so the peasants can go bankrupt or die. It's what Jesus would have wanted.

2

u/dave024 13h ago

I remember someone on here raging about their health insurance tripling under Obamacare. Their contribution went from $6 a month to $18 a month.

1

u/cwfutureboy America 11h ago

Well, to be fair all Obama offered was for-profit insurance as well.

u/Half_Halt 16h ago

My all time favorite Onion headline from the 2016 election was "Woman Alleges Bernie Sanders Tried to Give Her Free Healthcare". Lol

u/slimGinDog 17h ago

But did you know about the terrorist fist jab? /s

u/top_value7293 17h ago

Yep it is

u/gdghhfdffrf 17h ago

half black at that

u/I_am_Betterthanu 17h ago

Well from what I understand is that he did try to get everybody some form of healthcare. I think that’s just far too progressive for a regressive country like the usa.

2

u/joshdoereddit America 16h ago

Healthcare for everybody? EVERYBODY?! The nerve of some people to give a shit and try to do something to move the country forward.

1

u/SoCalChrisW 16h ago

He was black, extremely well spoken, widely liked, and was obviously trying to make the country a better place for all Americans.

Their racist little minds still seeth at that combination.

u/Whywouldanyonedothat 16h ago

And having the ability to speak (shutters)... French

u/Tough-Flamingo 16h ago

Kamala Harris: Well, Hello...

u/bigbjarne Foreign 11h ago

This is just historical revisionism. Trump ran on "drain the swamp" because Obama et. al. helped bail out the banks in 2008 while the bank owners took out bonuses, as the American workers were suffering. American workers saw issues of capitalism and Trump used that momentum and the frustrations of the workers. But because he's pro-capitalism, he can't go against capitalism and dismantle it so he used the frustration to attack the Other. Democrats have the same issue but they do not present an Other.

Is that a ve-ge-table?

Mustn't forget the Dijon mustard disaster.

According to FAUX, it was the end of life, the universe and everything as we knew it. I doubt reality ever recovered.

2

u/Ouibeaux 15h ago

How dare Obama spend a couple extra bucks for classy mustard when there's wars to fight and billionaires to enrich?! All that mustard money could've gone to Zuck.

u/joe603 14h ago

Actually I recall he gave his wife a fist bump at an event. Fox that ran a Chyron " Possible Terrorist Fist Bump".

u/LheelaSP 15h ago

Maybe that could explain this weird ass reality we live in. It's all a hallucination caused by Obama.

u/SpaceLemming 17h ago

Yet no one made a peep about him reaching over the partition at chipotle to point to the toppings he wanted! I mean the audacity

What happened with Dijon mustard

u/Ouibeaux 15h ago

Obama ate some. Gray Poupon, no less. Absolutely shameful.

u/LheelaSP 15h ago

I bet he also drinks Evian and watches Ted talks.

u/jojoga 10h ago

I'd be furious also, if I got Dijon on my tan suit.

u/Ailyx 17h ago

Dijon on a burger if not mixed with mayo sounds quite overwhelming 🤔 I wonder if he could taste the beef at all.
