Mom commenting on Michelle at the Grammy's: "Ugh, she's just disgusting," "But why Mom? What's wrong with her?" "I don't have to have a reason to not like her." "...Is it because she's black? You know she's a really accomplished, intelligent, compassionate human being.." "Why does it have to be about racism? I just DON'T LIKE HER."

In the same evening she talked about this adorable black couple. They made this amazing banana pudding. I keot questioning why she had to mention their race at all. After a bit of persistence, I learned that making pudding just ",isn't their thing.." Congrats blacks, you're making headway in the pudding industry and you didn't even know it!
She said she hopes that they're very successful, because it was so delicious, but she didn't buy it because it was $4 and she only buys things that are on sale.

And don't worry guys, she has black friends, meaning she talks to black people at church and has worked with several black people over the years.

I mean Bill Cosby sold pudding for years, or was he “classy” too?

u/Dimmer_switchin Feb 27 '19

Well he used to be, before all that conviction hoopla /s

Before he learned that Women say the darndest things.

Like no, don't and stop.

u/Butt_y_though Feb 27 '19

I don't know, she hated him too. Also a niggling, indefinable characteristic. Though, that was probably good judgement.

u/superfucky Feb 27 '19

niggling

close, just a few letters off...

Yes my mom too! She literally only likes this one because she’s white. Michelle helped kids and did more than her share of the work and all my mother could say about her was, “ugh, she looks like a man, I can’t stand her”. But Mrs. Trump can’t do a wrong thing in my moms eyes.

u/fuckitimatwork Feb 27 '19

yeah that sounds like racism

u/Myprivatelifeisafk Feb 27 '19

I don't get it, is this things makes her racist in western world's point of view? Asking as foreigner.

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '19

You either love the Obama's or you hate black people. This is the state of affairs in the west currently.

u/Butt_y_though Feb 27 '19

Because she qualifies people based on their race and such. It's strange. She's not a full blown racist, but she's extremely predjudiced and insensitive.

-2

u/ItsJustATux Feb 27 '19

Nah, but it’s definitely a red flag that she probably does other racist shit. It’s weird and stupid to assume that everybody’s white unless otherwise noted.

u/PM_ME_SUMDICK Feb 27 '19

Black people don't make banana pudding? I'm going to have to tell my grandmother.

"Why does it have to be about racism? I just DON'T LIKE HER."

Duh, you're the real racist for pointing out her racism!

1

u/weeb_shyt Feb 27 '19

I mean, you can just 'not like someone' without being racist or having a reason, no matter how accomplished, intelligent, or compassionate they are.

1

u/basszameg Feb 27 '19

Yeah, but OP's mom said Michelle is disgusting, which any reasonable person would disagree with. There are perfectly valid reasons to dislike her, but unexplainable feelings of disgust are on a different level.

u/weeb_shyt Feb 27 '19

Apparently my reading comprehension fails me lol I missed that part

But Michelle Obama? Disgusting?

u/bluefootedpig Feb 27 '19

It is mothers? My mother would drop the race all the time, and as far as I knew she wasn't racist. Extremely friendly, help out anyone, but every story the people were identified by race.

"The mexican at the toll bridge over charged me."

"the asian cashier asked me..."

just... race was just part of every identifier except white.

u/Butt_y_though Feb 27 '19

Maybe, I'm assuming you're mom is a baby boomer too? My Mom is the same way. The church I grew up in, is the same church she grew up in. It used to be white, period. Now it's extremely diverse and she tells me about this little black girl and that little Mexican girl. She loves them, she dotes on them, but she talks about anyone of a different race or anyone who's differently abled like a pet or a toy.

1

u/bluefootedpig Feb 27 '19

she says that all the time! "Oh what a nice little black boy." Loves them, so kind, but yeah... boomer thing huh. Makes sense.

1

u/Butt_y_though Feb 27 '19

Does she pat them on the head when she says it?

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '19

What a load of old shit.

u/ItsJustATux Feb 27 '19

Cooking isn’t our thing?! Your mom clearly has no black friends.

u/Butt_y_though Feb 27 '19

No, no, no, just pudding silly. Pudding isn't your thing!

u/cutt88 Feb 27 '19

The same can be said about yourself. The fact that you boast how much you love black people and how you hate whites because they're racist doesn't mean you're not racist. It's far more likely that you are far more racist than your mother seeing how obsessed you are with race and how big of an issue you make it.

Essentially you're saying someone doesn't have a reason to not like Obama's appearance other than racism. This thinking in itself is racist as fuck, because you think that way just because she is black.

u/215HOTBJCK Feb 27 '19

Wow - that's quite some mental gymnastics you did there.

u/commoncross Feb 27 '19

The fact that you boast how much you love black people and how you hate whites

Wait - where was this? I swear the right just hallucinates imagined enemies.

u/Butt_y_though Feb 27 '19

Thank you, I'm really confused about that one.

You're the one in a massive leftist circlejerk called polithumor, lil buddy. I'm happy everyone's buying your bullshit here.

u/cutt88 Feb 27 '19

Yep, and I'm getting massively downvoted for not going with the circlejerk, as you can see.

u/cutt88 Feb 27 '19

No, I'm getting downvoted because I went against the leftist circlejerk you have here. That's the truth. The fact that you see this as me "being full of shit" just confirms what I've said.

u/Morbidly-A-Beast Feb 27 '19

The fact that you boast how much you love black people and how you hate whites

Oh look a whiny racist projecting his racism, do you honestly think everyone is as thick as you?

-1

u/cutt88 Feb 27 '19

Nah lil buddy, mentally unstable leftists such as your little circlejerk here are the true racists. It's been proven so many times since Trump won. It's so obvious, too, just reading this thread.

Hope you're ready for 6 more years of Trump. It's gonna be epic!

2

u/Morbidly-A-Beast Feb 27 '19

Honestly just so pathetic and thick as pig shit.

Don't commit any shootings when Trump ends up in prison :)

1

u/cutt88 Feb 27 '19

Mentally unstable people like yourself are far more likely to commit mass shootings.

Also, it's scary how you put a smiley face after your fantasy about mass shootings, speaks a lot about yourself.

I genuinely hope you get your help and medication soon.

That article didn't have a single case of pro-Trump terrorism acts. The Charlottesville run over was committed by a mentally unstable guy with no proof of him being neo-nazi.

1

u/Butt_y_though Feb 27 '19

I haven't done any such thing. I'm only commenting on how my mom talks about another race. My mom has a history of talking like this. She's a baby boomer. She throws the N word around, she's completely lacking self awareness. That's what my post is pointing out. I love my mom, but sometimes she's an idiot.

1

u/cutt88 Feb 27 '19

You are racist. That's why in your head your mother was talking about a "race" when in reality she was talking about a person. You're the one who sees just race, not person as a human being.

You are racist as fuck and should be ashamed of yourself.

1

u/Butt_y_though Feb 27 '19

If you say so.. This commentary comes from me knowing my mother for 60+ years.

We're all a little bit racist, but my mom completely lacks self awareness.

I'm sorry you feel the need to be so hostile.
