2 posts on that DU thread. Even they know this story is radioactive
I call him Dumbo. Will I be going to racist prison???
I keep wondering if he can wiggle those pistol grip ears. ;>)
LOL! Not sure about that, but no question he had more accomplishments!
The only refernces to Arnold Gerstheimer on a Google Search are in regards to this story.
There are no phone records, no business records, no address listings. There are other Gerstheimers, but no Arnold. I don't believe this person exists!
Would it be inaccurate to call a dark skinned person Sambo?
I mean, if you called a light skinned Irishman Sambo, folks might say huh? and rightly so.
Just as if someone called your golden retriever Sambo, you might not understand.
But if a dark skinned person is called Sambo your inner watchdog of word meanings would immediately recognize a connection. Of course, your inner PC watchdog would be horribly offended, but this just proves the point.
I dont think Osama could outsmart tigers. So thats not the connection.
Nor is he probably from India, but I dont think even he knows what race his family tree is rooted in.
I did not remember the story of Sambo, until I read it here, but even so, I do not see that being called Sambo is such a bad thing. Especially if the reference is only to skin color. Even though it may be hard to determine what nationality or race Obama is, one of things that is identifiable about him is his skin color.
Ive been told for many years that ,black is beautiful and if this is true, then being called Sambo, as a reference to skin color, might well be considered a compliment.
You know, outsmarting tigers and all that.
and they’re helpless. Wasn’t it KOS or something like that who “broke” the non-story?
Batten down thine hatches: Americans might just shed the MSM, in time for the “Digital Conversion”. Apropos of Nothing, of course.
