ladyofleithianSorry if I'm spamming my flist, but...*sighs* This just...I have no words for this bullshit.
Got this from the grapevine, so to speak, and...*sighs* Oh, dear God. You know, there's being unhappy with the president, and then there's just taking it into above and beyond douchebaggery. Which is what this guy did.
Quoted from the article (this is from the, um, racist email that somehow got leaked):
"Normally I don't send or forward a lot of these, but even by my standards, it was a bit touching. I want all of my friends to feel what I felt when I read this. Hope it touches your heart like it did mine.
"A little boy said to his mother; 'Mommy, how come I'm black and you're white?'" the email joke reads. "His mother replied, 'Don't even go there Barack! From what I can remember about that party, you're lucky you don't bark!'"
Yes, the email just compared Obama's conception to bestiality. And the kicker? According to the article, the judge considers himself to not be a racist , but said he sent out the email anyway because it was "anti-Obama". Seriously, if you have your issues with Obama, fine, but keep this in mind -- you do not make racist remarks. You will get in trouble.
*Sighs*
The article doesn't exactly make it clear how the email got leaked, but honestly, I don't think it matters. I think I'll let Nash Bozard sum up how I feel about this situation:

Re: As it is for Dernhelm too.
Date: 2012-03-04 12:14 am (UTC)*Sighs along with you* I think it's really time to revive the Hall of Fire discussions. Force knows we need them, considering all the bullshit that's starting off 2012. :/ Or at least...some form of group therapy. :/ :/

Date: 2012-03-04 12:53 am (UTC)You know, the free for all discussions I had last year? I can't say I had them often, but still, I'd take anything to...detox, so to speak. Call me crazy. :)
