Mmm ... Oreos. I love oreos. I fail to see how something of such divine beauty could be interpreted in a derogatory manner.

They threw oreo cookies at Michael Steele during his attempted run for R-Senator, MD.

At rallies, Steele has had Oreos thrown at him, a gesture equivalent to calling him a "fake black" (black on the outside, white on the inside). Elsewhere, he has been portrayed as a "Samba," accused of being a "race traitor," and an "Uncle Tom." And these attacks have not just emanated from the black community -- they've come from white people as well. They haven't just come from impoverished Baltimoreans who are angry at the system -- they've come from wealthy, educated and supposedly enlightened people. I've even heard them from students at this very university.

Uh-Oh, you said divine as in God or Jesus, definitely derogatory to the anti-Christ leftist crowd, and beauty as in beauty pageant, or feminine beauty, anathema to the feminist (anti-feminine) leftists.
