At this point, we have no word on whether "blackout," "blackball," and "dark chocolate" are all forbidden racist words, but the safe money would have to be on "yes."

I got called out by a black couple at a family party for saying that a movie had a "dark" conclusion. These are Christian people, who should be familiar with the concept of "being in the light."

But no.

Michael Moore:

…I am loathe to bring up what is in our head because we don’t like to talk about it so much. But on this particular day, on Martin Luther King Day, I think this needs to be said. That imaginary person that’s going to break into your home and kill you, who does that person look like? You know, it’s not freckle-faced Jimmy down the street, is it really? I mean, that’s not what really, that’s not what really people, we never really want to talk about the racial or the class part of this, in terms of how it’s the poor or it’s people of color that we imagine that we’re afraid of. Why are we afraid? What is that, and it’s been a fear that has existed for a very, very long time.

Freudian slip there, Michael? Are you really projecting your true feelings in your accusations towards the rest of White America?

We had a city council man who accused a radio talk show host of racism because he said the city councilman spearheaded an effort to do something.

I feel funny if I say something is “spooky” as though someone will come down on me like a ton of bricks. I happen to work in an almost empty building and said it was spooky to someone and immediately popped into my head that “spooky” could be misconstrued.

Don’t forget the tool who claimed the word “picnic” to be racist because, he claimed, it originated in “pick a nigger” to lynch.

Wal-Mart cutting the cost of "black Barbie" to almost half that of the "white Barbie".

Should be reduced only 3/5.

Didn’t the water buffaloes on The View muse about whether “Black Friday” was racist? Not that they could be expected to know the difference between being ‘in the red’ or ‘in the black’.....

I was once called out by a teenage kid for saying “black coffee”. I was shocked and asked him, what should I call it, African-American coffee? Instead of picking up on my sarcasm, he seriously told me you should call it natural coffee.

Okay...........

We can talk about chocolate cities, but not black coffee or dark conclusions to a movie.

There’s a Western themed restaurant here in Denver and a black couple was offended that they got seated by a noose—from 2008:

Black Americans have been voting heavily Democratic for almost 50 years

At some point we have to start calling writers that keep writing this myth as out and out liars.

The black vote switched to overwhelmingly and permanently democrat in 1936, there is no "almost" and there is no "50 years" and there is no "Kennedy" as is usually mentioned, or in this case, implied.

Being a daughter of a military dad, I bagged groceries at the commissary for tips. We had all types that worked at the commissary—teenagers, military wives, retired military, Koreans. A lot of the retired military were older black guys and they could be pretty filthy. One day this fellow bagger, a white middle-aged female, was making coffee—black. One of the old black guys was surprised and asked her, “You like your coffee black?” As he walked away he mumbled under his breath, “I bet you like something else black.”
