Where is the Freeper with the “Not this sh*t again!” picture?

RACISM, pure and simple, and foisted on an innocent, helpless army NCO. What is astonishing is that this is a national news story. It should be an international news story. This gentle, sensitive Army man, proudly serving our interests at the Kuwait Hilton, and his lovely wife Jumanji deserve better than to be attacked - ATTACKED I say! - by insensitive creeps. DEMOTE THE BASTARD immediately to parking lot attendant. And PFC, so he can keep at least one stripe while he parks all those Kuwaiti Rolls Royces.

I’m still in. Sadly that is not unusual.

[I want the USA back]

So why is that racist? And most of the hatred directed at interracial couples comes from Blacks!

[moovova]

Army Sergeant Major?

I’ll take his side unless other details come to light to change my mind.

[skeeter]

Neither Spondivits or APS Valet would identify the name of the fired valet, but the Aarons said the individual was African-American.

Doh!

I dont recall ever seeing a dress like that at a military function. I bet the other wives don’t recall it either but I bet they had some things to say among themselves too.

Sorry, boy who cried wolf theory applies, I just don’t believe them; every single incident like this has proved to be a hoax, why would this one be different?

I honestly don’t think that people give that much thought to others - that they get wee-wee’d up as Obama put it (I love that, it sounds like something my dad would say) over whether their server is gay, or their parking lot customers are of different races.

The Black “Community” ie Jessie Jackson /Sharpton followers doesn’t like it when Black Women go outside their race.

If that's the case, then they must surely be angered at the new mayor of NYC and his wife.

Husband White, wife Black. Story sounds really strange.

---

As conservatives we have to be above the fray; smarter than the dingbats. No, this is not strange. My wife, who is black, is one of the most conservative women alive - and prettiest.

That said, we’ve been called, “jungle fever” by many...and, overwhelming majority by blacks...so, open your mind, please, and consider that you are assuming the story teller is saying it is racist and so forth, BUT, that it may be a black person who wrote it on the keg or whatever...that would be my guess...jungle fever is usually in the black vernacular...most white folks haven’t a clue what it means.

[NativeSon]

I would imagine the tag was more than likely marked by a Black Man or a bitter Black female.

I'm not black and I've dated a number black girls/women...I've had "jungle fever" sung loudly when walking by a group of blacks. The only grief that I or my black girlfriends experienced came from blacks. Never from family btw.

My wife is VERY OBVIOUSLY Hispanic (Cuban), and I’m a blond.

She’ll draw stares in public by rattling on with her daddy in Spanglish over her cell.

Fortunately, I live in a civilized part of NC.

Fortunately for bigots, that is.

As numerous FR bigots have discovered, the Warchild does NOT tolerate this sort of ignorance.

"I shouldn't have to feel this way," said Candea Aarons.

I agree. She should stop feeling that way at once, especially since the guy who made the notation (if the couple didn't do it themselves) meant no harm - and now lost his job because of your stupid overreaction. Worry about something that actually matters instead.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Well, exactly. It’s a Spike Lee movie. Which means it’s racist fo’ sho’ -— since he makes the most openly racist movies in the USA.
