Look at these snotty little college republicans

[Skittles]

Equating centries of minority oppression and struggle with a freaking cookie bake sale supposedly designed to demonstrate the "unfairness" of affirmative action. Gawd, it is beyond sickening.

[atreides1]

1. They Look Healthy.....

...enough to enlist, but they won't. It's just not the College Rebublican way, is it?

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

133. These kids have had so much affirmative action

in their lifetime, they probably assume it's just natural.

[denverbill]

2. What a pair of assholes.

The sort of asses that would be equally at home bashing blacks, Jews, or Muslims, as long as they were in a large group of like-minded supporters.

[GURUving]

3. And they think it's a joke of sorts

They should be wondering how the fuck they got to where they are. Without affirmative action, I believe that not only minorities, but others as well would have been denied the opportunity for an education during the past generations.

Laugh, you stupid bastards.

[DBoon]

5. There has always bee afirmative action

for the marginally talented offspring of the wealthy.

The fellows in this picture are a prime example.

[Skittles]

7. as far as "sales" go, I bet the fact that white males make more money

never enters their tiny little conservative minds

[mot78]

25. Why don't they complain about affirmative nepotism?

* only got into Yale because of his father.

[Mikimouse]

4. Hey, look at it this way...

maybe the little bastards are sterile; nothing like karma to clean up the gene pool. Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting, but typical.

[Killarney]

6. The hypocrasy of it all is that jerks like that

think affirmative action is wrong, yet they think nothing of legacies (someone getting in because their mother/father went there). Legacies ARE affirmative action. Rich, white affirmative action. That's how Bush got into Yale.

[Loonman]

8. Fucking Hitler Youth

No need.

[ParticipatoryDem]

55. Are you serious?

A small group of people get together and protest what they don't believe in and suddenly they are compared to a regime that gassed, murdered, tortured and tried to exterminate a group of people?

I am well aware of the Democratic platform on AA and I know it does not include calling those that disagree with it "nazis".

Why on earth would you relate them to nazis?

[Yupster]

70. Looks like we've also figured out that

their parents are rich and they only got in because of legacies. I guess a picture really is worth a thousand words.

I don't get the vitriol. It just looks like two college kids having fun protesting to me.

[baldguy]

9. Affirmative action is one of the worst ideas in history.

Except for the alternative.

The best "bake sale" analogy for these Hitler Youth twits would be for a small minority of whites to wake up every morning with a great variety of free, fresh baked goods waiting for them. Of course, they have nothing to do with actually BAKING the baked goods - thats what the "little people" are for.

Most people would be able to buy their cookies - at inflated prices - from the first group, but only after they worked very hard for them. And the first group could take them away at any time for no reason.

And there's a third group for whom these treats are only an unfulfilled dream - like justice and a voice in government.

[Skittles]

10. you know it, baldguy

it occurs to me that their very belief that this flawed, terribly simple, insulting analogy is somehow comparable to racism just shows how utterly stupid and ignorant they are.

[MnFats]

12. these smirking assholes forget...

....or, wait, they never learned:
That for hundreds of years there WAS a DE FACTO affirmative action system, with ALL of the slots reserved for white males.
this massive ignorance and insult is getting depressing.

[MnFats]

11. where are this little twits? And who is...

...Bob McKenna, that i might send a campaign contribution to his opponent, whomever that might be....?

[CBHagman]

16. A Google search...

...of Rob McKenna turned up a council member from Washington state. Apparently he's running for attorney general.

[SoCalDem]

13. As usual, they are way behind the times..

This was done last year, and then again this past fall on some campuses. They are just so smug and full of themselves.. They are spoiled brats..

[0007]

84. This is the results of Lynne Cheney and Bill Bennett

making their rounds to the Universities before the invasion.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

14. Hey, but they're not fat, so they MUST be superior

:eyes:

[YNGW]

15. Wow!

It's amazing what people can know just from a picture. I'm impressed!

[Killarney]

Here's the whole story

Read it and tell me if you think we're jumping to conclusions about them now.
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20031224/ap_on_re_us/campus_controversy_2

These are ignorant, racist boys.

[YNGW]

21. No, really...

This is something. With people who have insight like this, I 'm totally surprised we got snookered in the 2000 election.

[Rex]

36. Just how did we get tricked in the 2000 elections?

I'm curious about your insight on that topic.

[Skittles]

38. snookered?

WE WON THE ELECTION, remember???

[ParticipatoryDem]

56. Everytime I hear this I cringe

We got the popular vote and Gore is not in the White House. Whay exactly about this situation makes one claim that "we won"? I know all about the butterfly ballot and the felon purge but in case it's not obvious we don't have the executive branch, the senate or the congress in our hands. Sayoing "we won" may make some feel better but it just reminds me of the 11/00 gut wrench that I had when I woke up to go to work. Why keep dreaming when reality bites?

[Skittles]

75. THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN

"WE" KNOW IT - "YOU" APARENTLY DO NOT.

[ParticipatoryDem]

83. Of course it was stolen

Never said it wasn't. What I said was that we didn't "win". The goal of winning is to have control of the seat and the people. We don't have that now do we. Stealing and winning have nothing in common in this case.

"YOU" APARENTLY didn't read what I wrote.

[Skittles]

91. WHO WON THE ELECTION? AL GORE

WHOSE DADDY'S FRIENDS GOT HIM INSTALLED INTO THE WHITE HOUSE? GEORGE W. BUSH. HE DID NOT "WIN" THE ELECTION.

[ParticipatoryDem]

98. Semanics don't win the White House

I consider a "win" where we get to move in to the WH and have our choice of staffers, apointees and all that goes with it. I'm well aware of the semanics of Gore "winning" but take a look at the occupant of the WH and look at the policies and staff running the show. Declaring a win is not the same as living a win.

[Skittles]

116. THE WHITE HOUSE WAS NOT WON

THE PRESIDENCY WAS NOT WON. Bush Inc TRASHED democracy when they had the Supreme Court pick their favorite guy. THERE WAS NO *WIN* HERE, the ENTIRE F***ING COUNTY LOST.

[Rex]

90. How bout this

Gore won but we lost. It's not a dream, it really happened and some of us like to talk about it. Some like to remind people that, yes, we really did win the election FAIR AND SQUARE. I always love seeing republicans go haywire and try to lie their way out of the situation.

[Skittles]

95. me too, Rex

pass the popcorn. I'm sick of people thinking that smarmy, incompetent piece of SHIT actually WON the presidency. He got it the same what he has received EVERYTHING in his miserable life - IT WAS HANDED TO HIM.

[ParticipatoryDem]

101. I never said he "won" it

I'm saying he is in the chair and there is nothing we can do during this term. I just refuse to give the gloat opening for them to spit it back in my face by saying we "won" but look at who is in the Oval office.

[ParticipatoryDem]

100. What I see is not repubs going haywire...

I see them smirking and saying "sure you won but look who is in the WH".

I refuse to give them that opening to gloat.

[Skittles]

118. SINCE WHEN

HAVE they EVER acknowleged that the DEMOCRATS WON ????? LOOK AT YOU - YOU DON'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE IT.

[Rex]

126. haha...every time I bring it up around Republicans

they go apeshit. They do love to point out the obvious, "Oh yea...well if Gore won then why is Bush the Prezedunt?" I always have to remind them of that 5-4 vote by the SCOTUS. That almost always shuts em up. Just remind them that they gloat over an un-democratic election that was decided by 9 non-elected judges.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

60. OK I think I know what the GW stands for in you name

but what does the YN stand for?

[SidDithers]

89. y not?

just a guess.

Sid

[blondeatlast]

103. Hah! You might have nailed it!

[SOS]

28. And very poor businessmen

From the article:

"Organizers charge white students $1 for a cookie, while blacks and other minorities pay 25 to 95 cents. "

Black students should buy ALL the cookies for 25c each and sell them, at a table down the hall, to everyone regardless of race for 50c.

That way the Black students can send a positive message, double their money and drive the twits out of business.

Sadly, these two business geniuses will someday have their Dad install them into management positions.

[blondeatlast]

104. At obscenely inflated salaries, while the grunts lose their jobs to

sweatshops.

[are_we_united_yet]

31. The cookies were probably laced with poison

to kill off more minorities.

[Character Assassin]

32. Could you please explain exactly how they're racist?

Thanks.

[YNGW]

33. Can't ya tell?

Just look at them!! ;)

[are_we_united_yet]

35. One can only speculate

The bake sale is only one element of an unsettling pattern these two 'kids' appear to engage in.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

59. Yes I can explain how they are racist

Typically this is how they sell their cookies:
White students are charged $1 for cookies while blacks and other minorities pay between $0.25-0.90 for the same cookie. Doughnuts are available to everyone except Asian-Americans and whites.


Since perhaps the greatest beneficiaries of AA are women of all races, the fact that these whiny miscreants even USE the race card to demonstrate what they perceive to be "unequal treatment under the law" when in fact in most universities, white people still out number other minorities by a landslide with a few exceptions, underscores that fact that they do not like AA because it interferes with what they perceive to be their "white privilege."

I know you will argue that point and that we don't agree on it and I'm not interested in humoring you today, but I at least felt you were owed an explanation...

[Character Assassin]

64. Well, yes, I'm not humored by that response

But then again, I'm someone who believes in no breaks, for no gender, pigmentation, orientation, disability or other determinant that might exist.

white people still out number other minorities by a landslide with a few exceptions, underscores that fact that they do not like AA because it interferes with what they perceive to be their "white privilege."

You know I luv' ya, right? Good. Because your entire last line above is unreconstructed bullshit. Not one, single white that I know gives two fucks in a cat's ass about 'white priviledge'. It's a matter of principle.

Hey, some of my best friends are white.

Now go get me a drink.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

73. Principles my ass ... they think it's their world, their oyster

and how dare women and minorities move in on it...in fact, it's so insideous, they don't even think it..they just know it....get your own friggin drink :D

[Character Assassin]

99. It's everyone's oyster, Ducky

It depends on how much each person let's whatever barriers in their way defeat them.

Do women and minorities usually have it tougher? Yep.

Does that make one iota of difference as to who has the mindset and fortitude to actually rise above that kind of crap? Newp.

I see no evidence that these guys exhibit the tendencies that you are ascribing to them; it's just very convenient to jump all over them because they're white and in a (gasp!) fraternity.

I'm white, I was in a frat, and I managed to overcome all the attendant crapola that comes along with that.

Why can't they?

[blondeatlast]

105. What crapola is attendant in a frat (besides the m . . . never mind)

Have you overcome poverty, a crime-ridden neighborhood, blatant personal and institutional racism/sexism, poor schools?

Just what "crapola" have you overcome? Go ahead, impress me. I dare you.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

124. Wow...you almost twist it to make them appear to be the oppressed

Of course you see no evidence, Grasshopper. A fish doesn't see water either! Regardless, you asked me what was racist about the sale..I pointed out what was...you didn't rebut the point, but I always love your sarcasm when you are at a loss for a valid rebuttal...Merry Christmas Snookums :D

[are_we_united_yet]

97. Hmmmmmmm.....

You sound a bit sure of yourself. I'm not knocking that, but I will say I think your full of shit. Not because you are defending these two pricks of misery, rather your statement seems to suggest you've sampled every persons opinion from the aforementioned group with a unanimous agreement about their sense of entitlment. It aint true for any race.

[Skittles]

77. Did I EVER say they were racist?

I SAID they are using a very FLAWED ANALOGY to try to PROVE "REVERSE RACISIM" and their very BELIEF in such silliness PROVES THEIR IGNORANCE. Understand ??????

[blondeatlast]

102. That's disgusting. Period.

Smug assholes.

[ret5hd]

20. i can beat that...

i know something about you...
and i don't even have a picture.

[YNGW]

22. Sounds great!

Pray tell, what would that be?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

52. BWahahahahaha`!

[blondeatlast]

106. Ditto! 'Nuff said!

[xchrom]

17. how smart are these guys

to let that snotty fucked up picture of their smarmy asses get out there?
now even their future employers know them for numbskulls.

[Mikimouse]

23. I wish you were correct on the part about...

future employers, sadly, I am more inclined to think that their future employers are the role models for idiots like these.

[thebaghwan]

18. Saw this earlier, these assholes are from the University of Washington

These are probably Jennifer Dunn's grand kids.

[amber dog democrat]

19. These are Fraternity kids

right?

Something like this happened at SMU this summer.

[camero]

24. Wait until we start basing it on class.

then those jerks will really be SOL because it will help minorities and take thier argument away from them. No more cookie sales for the little hitlerites.

[blondeatlast]

107. Just a matter of time, too.

[mcd1982]

26. Our responce....

My University's Young Democrats are considering having
a bake sale in retaliation to this.

We were thinking about having a bake sale where
everything is dirt cheap "because of the poor economy
under President Bush, near record job losses in one
administration, and the recent slash of university
budgets by the state (Texas) Republican Legislature."
or something to that effect.


Matthew

[YNGW]

27. I wish I were near you.

If it were cookies I normally would buy anyway, and you were selling them for less than I could get them at the store, I'd stock up.

[Speed8098]

42. I'd like to ask you

YNGW...what does that mean?

Your posts seem to be a bit off. Why is that? I've seen you comment on a couple of threads and I am just curious as to your political affiliation?

Are you a Democrat, A Republican or an Independent? Maybe you're a Green Party member. Seriously, can you tell me which way you lean?

And before you ask, Speed reflects my love for racing, 80 is the year I met my wife, and 98 is the year I bought my house, hence Speed8098.

I am a staunch Democrat, which you will see if you read some of my comments.

Now...Your turn.

[YNGW]

58. That's fair.

I'm a Democrat, though not as liberal as what seems dominant here at DU, but I've noticed that most DUers admit that this place is left of where the party is in general.

YNGW are the first letters of the names of my four children, two of whom died shortly after birth.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

61. Wow how did 2 of them dies shortly after birth?

[Skittles]

78. YNGW

your explanation of your moniker brought tears to my eyes.......Happy Holidays to you and your family.

[Speed8098]

85. I appreciate your response

You have my sympathy regarding the loss of your 2 children, that's an experience that no parent should have to endure.

I'm a Democrat, though not as liberal as what seems dominant here at DU, but I've noticed that most DUers admit that this place is left of where the party is in general.

I tend to agree, we are farther left than most of the mainstream, but we enjoy our share of moderates leaning left. The only thing I hate to see is when our centrist friends fall for the rw talking points and then try to sway an opinion by spouting those same talking points.

I guess too much knowledge can sometimes be sort of a curse. I find myself questioning every word that comes from this mis administration. I don't believe ANYTHING that * says and very very little of what the rest of his minions spout.

If I offended you, I'm sorry, it was not my intention.
We have had a rash of disruptor's lately and I don't want to waste my time discussing issues with someone who really doesn't care.

I hope you and everyone here at DU is having an excellent Christmas and Hanukkah.
Again, thanks for your honest reply.

[Neshanic]

29. Good one, also have a table for a sign up for a recruiter to call them.

A "help the troops" sign, with the offer of having a signup sheet so they could have a recruiter call them. See how fast that gets attention. A special cookie that they have to take out of a box...obviously there would be no cookies in the box. Tell them they will possibly get it after serving.

[blondeatlast]

109. I LIKE it, I like it!

Welcome to DU!

:toast:

[oldcoot]

63. Sell Halliburton cookies and bags of crumbs

Charge $2.64 (isn't that what Halliburton was charging for gas in Iraq?) for the each of the Halliburton cookies. For the students who think that $2.64 is too much for a cookie, sell them bags of crumbs for .20 each. After all, the average American is only getting crumbs from the Bush administration.

[isatool]

81. A bunch of the progressives....

at my school pre-empted the republicans.

They heard that the republicans were going to sell cookies in this fashion in an attempt to protest "unfair" affirmative action programs in education.

The progressives set up a booth and gave cookies away, arguing that "a decent education for all youth regardless of race or class" should be freely avalible for any with the ability and will.

I think it's a good way to make the point.

[blondeatlast]

108. Please take orders over the Web. I'm in.

[KansDem]

30. Baking cookies (and having teas...)

Wasn't Hillary Clinton blasted by the VRWC when she said she didn't do this?

I guess the Repubs believe SOMEONE has to...

[blondeatlast]

110. Of course they do. When George I was at Yale, that's what Babs was doing.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

34. Trying out for a new sitcom: "Hitler and Mussolini: The Next Generation"

.

[Yupster]

37. I don't see the controversy?

These are college kids protesting. If kids can't protest in college, when are they ever going to? We sure did when I was in college.

Is it because you don't like their cause? Well too bad. That's what free speech is for. They can protest anything they want whether it's tasteful or tasteless or even peanut butter pecan crunch.

I don't see the controversy. Let them have their fun. Think of an even cooler idea and have a counter-protest the next week. It'll be fun for everyone and maybe some people who don't pay attention may even look in and learn something.

My favorite college protest when I was in college was some guy running for student government (not at my college) president and winning on the platform that if he was elected, he would spend the entire student budget on pink lawn flamingoes. He won and did it. I was editor of our college paper, and we did a story of it complete with pictures. The college said withn a week all the flamingoes had been stolen and were mostly in kids' dorms. That was stupid, no doubt, but it made the guys' point and was fun too. That's part of what college is for in my opinion.

[Skittles]

39. I don't begrudge them their right to protest

I'm just saying it is terribly flawed and outright ignorant to the point of being sickening. Nowhere did I say they should not be allowed their pathetic display.

[blondeatlast]

111. So we are no longer allowed to have OPINIONS on DU, is that it?

Like I said in response to another post, have I wandered into the Oprah site by mistake?

Any idea how much my fellow war protestors (including my 80 year old mom) were savaged at Freeperville?

It's the nature of the beast. I don't think this was what the DU admins had in mind when they called for a degree of civility . . .

Sheesh.

[xerph]

40. Right to free speech?

I see two young people who are exercising their right to free speech to get their views across using nonviolent means, employing the use of a tangable object (the cookies) to help people see more clearly the concept of what is happening (discrimination based on race)

My biggest problem with affermative action is that it sends out the message "non-white people aren't good enough to get accepted to universities without special treatment" That in itself seems highly insulting to the dignity of the people it is targeting to supposedly help.

I am a firm believer in the notion that your life is what you make of it. I have a number of friends who are second and third generation citizens, whose parents/grandparents immigrated here from other countries with nothing but the clothes on their back and a small amount of savings that they managed to scrape together. Today every one of them is an outstanding, successful member of society. They didn't get to where they were because they sat around waiting for a handout and complaining about how unfair society is, they worked their *'s off and built a life for themselves.

If many of these so called "opressed minorities" would work even half that hard they wouldn't need a racially motivated handout such as affermative action. It doesn't take a wealthy baxkground to sit down with your textbooks every night and study like crazy to work for that scolarship.

Now, that is my personal belief and as I've indicated above everybody here has the right to disagree with it, HOWEVER you must also recognise that it is also the right of these two college students to stand up for what they believe in and protest what they see as an unjust practice.

[xchrom]

44. you should be a firm believer in reality

do know how many minorities have tried to make it on their own and have been denied that right due to no fault of their own?
or how many people have been denied housing due to no fault of their own?
have wound up beaten, drug to death, lynched due to no fault of their own?
we didn't get in a position of needing affirmative action because white people behave themselves historically but because they don't. a lesson that actually doesn't seem to be lost on these two morons.
i don't have a problem with free speech -- i have a problem with speech that gets people hurt -- and ignorant speech like theirs accomplishes exactly that. and that's pretty much what i think of the fairy tale approach to your post.

[xerph]

66. Re: you should be a firm believer in reality

>> or how many people have been denied housing due to no fault of their own?

>> have wound up beaten, drug to death, lynched due to no fault of their own?

To that I would respond: those are issues which should be tackled directly. If people are being denied housing based on race, attack that problem. If people are being denied the ability to 'make it on their own' as you put it, then attack THAT problem.

But what I see here with affermative action are people who are getting preferential treatment based solely on their race, and while some may say that it is for a good cause, it is still a way to divide people. When it comes to our educational institutes I believe academic merit alone should be used for judging one's candadacy for admission.

[xchrom]

82. the culture doesn't/hasn't handed this crap

out individually -- it's been applied wholesale.
it's why the paycheck disparity still exists.
why housing problems still exists.
why insurance redlining still exists.
it's not about the minorities -- it's about the majority cultures ingrained bad behavior.

[blondeatlast]

113. May I ask, who is your candidate so far?

Just curious as to which one most mirrors your views.

[blondeatlast]

122. Handled DIRECTLY?

Did you read the post, or just ignore this part?

. . . lynched due to no fault of their own?

Just how does one handle a lynching directly, pray tell?

BTW, if you went/are in college, how did you make it? I assume you used a spell check for your admissions essay?

candadacy I know it is rude to point out spelling errors, but it makes a salient point in the discussion.

[LeahMira]

45. Then you would be mistaken.

My biggest problem with affermative action is that it sends out the message "non-white people aren't good enough to get accepted to universities without special treatment"

Affirmative action does not mean that colleges admit minority students while more qualified white students are passed by. So, if your statement above reflects your understanding of affirmative action, you are mistaken.

The students in the photo are apparently similarly uninformed about affirmative action. I only hope they are not seniors so that there might still be some time left in their college careers for them to get informed.

[xerph]

65. Re: "Then you would be mistaken."

I'll admit that I haven't researched the principles behind this program as much as I would have liked to. Perhaps somebody who has the facts could provide a few details?

[blondeatlast]

114. Perhaps you could look them up for yourself?

You seem like an intelligent fella.

[0rganism]

53. Except their analogy is thoroughly flawed

They charge minorities less for cookies. What they should be doing is charging everyone the same price, but if they're down to the last brownie, sell it to a minority or female student instead of a white male. At least then they'd be accurately representing the situation they (and you) so despise.

[blondeatlast]

115. Faultless logic. Bravo!

[Skittles]

79. OK

NOW PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW DIPSHITS LIKE DUBYA GET ADMITTED TO YALE.

[jmowreader]

96. The Legacy System

At high-class universities like Yale, they have set aside some slots for children (and sometimes siblings) of graduates. If Joe was smart enough to graduate from Yale, so the thinking says, then Joe Jr. certainly must be smart enough. And if Joe Jr. graduates, obviously Joe III must be smart enough.

Please note that only one of the Bush twins, Barbara, is attending Yale. Jenna is attending the University of Texas.

What I want to know is how the village idiot got into Harvard Business School.

[blondeatlast]

112. Edit: self deleted. Apologies to all.

[cosmicdot]

123. is xerph.com your blog -- if so, you have some interesting DU opinions

http://xerph.com/archives/000769.html

[snippy]

41. The republican party is puting a lot of emphasis on organizing these

bakesales at colleges and universities all over the country. It is part of a strategy to make the democratic party the minority party for at least another generation. The democratic party should counter this with a strategy of its own.

The republican bakesale analogy is flawed because it omits a period of time when it would be illegal or impossible for minorities to buy a cookie. Democrats should organize bakesales of their own where for the first 9 or 10 hours a sign is posted saying no minority may purchase a cookie and no white may purchase a cookie for any minority. The sign also should say that any white may force any minority to pay for a cookie for the white. During the last hour the sign should be removed and replaced with one saying that all whites must wait 60 seconds for a cookie but minorities need wait only 45 seconds.

[LeahMira]

46. Another example of Republican lies...

The republican party is puting a lot of emphasis on organizing these bakesales at colleges and universities all over the country.

Too bad the Republicans continue to lie, even to college students. Unfortunately, this is nothing new. The IHR (Holocaust deniers) do the same sort of thing, typically close to the end of the semester when the instructors and college administration officers don't have time to correct the misinformation before the students leave campus for winter or summer break.

Interesting that Republicans and Nazis use the same sorts of tactics, eh?

[Yupster]

68. Very good snippy

The way to fight their idea is to come up with good ideas on the other side. This is good for everyone, especially in a college setting.

I don't understand the people calling these guys names.

They're protesting for their views at a college. What could be more American than that.

[rumguy]

43. they actually look like ok guys

just a little on the wimpy side.

[Liberal Veteran]

47. What's really odd to me about this kind of thing....

...is the fact that college students are actually doing it. Apparently affirmative action did not keep them from getting into college, so what exactly is their major complaint? Are they trying to say that if not for affirmative action, they would have gotten into an even better school? Unlikely.

And have you ever noticed that it's always white students primarily involved in stuff like this?

I won't apologize for stating right out that I think that their entire problem with AA has more to do with the fact that they are harboring racist feelings than some noble sense of fairness.

[xchrom]

48. go ahead and preach

i find it dismaying that white folks{i'm a white folk} think that the behavior of white folks isn't what got us here in the first place.
putting the emphasis on minorities is exactly backward.

[snippy]

51. It is organized by the republican party through the College Republicans.

[Yupster]

69. So where are the college Democrats?

I'm assuming there are more college Democrats than Republicans. Why don't they have their own table next door?

134. hey l_v . . . .

yo' cats are seriously zoned man

[JohnKleeb]

49. I may love cookies but I would spit in these cookies

[MrPrax]

50. When this first appeared on DU

When this was first posted from the stunt down in Texas--an overly bright DU'er mentioned a 'brilliant' idea...

Have black students 'buy' the cheap cookies and then set up a table right next to them reselling the cookies and donuts, undercutting their price and essentially showing the ridiculousness of mixing labor supply and price demand, (apples and oranges...)

Or even still setting up a table and pricing the cookies according to workplace participation/supply...super cheap for whites and rare and not available for minorities under an 'ideal' Repuke solution where everyone is presumably equal...

Progressives could have fun with this...but wouldn't of course get the press coverage (esp a pix with their chosen candidate's campaign poster)

Jerk-offs

(I just used the spell checker and DU'er is NOT a word nor is Repuke???--:shrug:)

[HEyHEY]

54. how did they work the cookies in?

Fucking Whiteys!

[number6]

57. set up smirk cookie sales table ...

rich white guy with big oil daddy republican (free cookie)
Israeli citizen gets free cookie and missile.
rich white guy democrat 2 for price of one
minority pays double for cookie
Arab gets poop cookie, put on terrorist watch list.
Palestinian gets poop cookie, house demolished, put on terrorist watch list.
Chinese get fortune cookie with warning not to date Jewish woman.

80. LOL............................number6

I AM LITERALLY LAUGHING OUT LOUD. :7

[blondeatlast]

120. ROFLMAO! The most concise solution to the entire issue!

[Santaclaus]

62. Why, I remember those two - their cookies sucked

[rasputin1952]

67. I need to check out those cookies...

if I'm not mistaken, that's Rush's "Green Room", and I think those are Oxycontins baked into them.

:evilgrin:

[TankLV]

71. Look like a couple of budding "log cabin" repukes to me!

Probably beat themselves up for their self loathing every time they masturbate - together.

[demgrrrll]

72. I think they look like the frat boys who went after the Deltas in Animal

House. Thank you sir may I have another. Niedermeyers!!!

[TexasMexican]

74. Meh who cares.

Whites will be a minority in a few decades, then they will be begging for affirmative action.

That being said, I'd buy thier cheap cookies if they tasted okay.

[Skittles]

76. lol......................T M

at Christmas Eve dinner today, my boyfriend's father said that whites were in the minority and that one day, the world "would all be the same color". I was wondering what exactly would be wrong with that. :7

[blondeatlast]

121. If only THEY knew that . . . In about 20 years, they will be getting

pissed 'cause their kids are subjected to that kind of treatment. On second thought, no, they won't.

The coming majority has way more class than that.

[jeanmarc]

86. I bet they are working their way through school...um, no they aren't

No way would they take a 'handout' from the parents. Once they graduated high school, these brats decided that being on parental tit was too much to bear, they would strike it out on their own.

Yep, I can see why these fine kids are against any handouts. They get their money from working jobs during school. Um...wait, no they don't. They are sucking mommy and daddy dry.

What a bunch of aholes.

[fishguy]

87. Here is what they should actaully sell it for.....

Legacies-Cookies are free
Rich people-Cookies are free
Athletes on scholarship-Cookies are free
Everyone else-$120 a month for the next ten years

[spooky3]

88. They look like experts on affirmative action to me

because they have many years of experience in the real work force...er...
because they studied all the cases on affirmative action while graduating at the top of their classes in law school...er...
because they are star sociology or labor economics or human resources or psychology majors who have studied the empirical evidence of discrimination and effects of affirmative action, along with business law...

er...

[Skittles]

92. THANK YOU SPOOKY

These two schmucks ignore CENTURIES of struggle and oppression and reduce their analogy to COOKIES. The sheer ARROGANCE and IGNORANCE boggles my MIND.

[creativelcro]

93. Because their daddy's money got them in

[Redleg]

94. They have no historical sense.

I take that back- they just have no sense. Besides, I can't see how this bake sale illustrates anything about AA.

[citizen snips]

117. They suck.

A bake sale to support the ending of affirmative action. This is definitely beyond sickening.

[The Undertaker]

119. I feel like...

beating the smile off those fuckers faces, hateful sons-of-bitches.

[AlFrankenFan]

125. Oooh they make me want to puke!

Oh what the hell. :puke:

128. So stupid and foolish are you. Hey Yoda, sometimes you just have

to call em like you see em.

[snippy]

130. Your post contains two false statements.

This makes me think you are being mendacious. You also imply that name calling is intellectually flawed, yet you do it in a sentence which includes name calling by you. This makes me think that you are an ignorant hypocrite.

[KG]

132. enjoy your short stay at DU.

[Hippo_Tron]

129. And those cookies arent' even free!

I mean I'd go pretend to listen to their bullshit for free food but pay for cookies, I think not...

[KG]

131. oh, some well-off white guys whining

how un-becoming.

[Dems Will Win]

135. Wait until they hear Bush is going to reinstate the DRAFT in 2005 and

and there are no more student deferments!!!
