Just for the record, I think the term "PrezBO" is clearly over the line and its use damages the credibility of the user.

Especially those who have no credibility or honor or decency or character.

Avoiding even the appearance of impropriety is the hallmark of decency.......and all the rest.

I shall no longer refer to the Prezident BO as PrezBO...

Today we will use his title as "TheONE"

That better...coming from you who called other candidates every name in the book.

Wasn't calling Bush a monkey racist? It was when Howard Cosell said it.

Owing to America's history of racism and past violence toward blacks.........NO!

It's racist to call anybody a monkey.

What if you called him a n*gg*r? That's racist too.

the reference to sambo never occurred to me because it was slightly before my time. i imagine the same is true of most of my generation. marko, you are old, and tilt is definitely a race-baiter, altho i think toejam was making an honest call. hes not a regular fuegoite.

Wasn't calling Bush a monkey racist?

no, because it has nothing to do with race. its more of a ding on his perceived intelligence than anything. it was aimed specifically at him, while the monkey/black association is aimed at all blacks. there are a lot of anti-white racist attitudes out there, but ive never heard of associating whites with monkeys as one of them

and anyways, if youre consciously connecting "prezbo" to "sambo" because you ARE aware of the historical significance, then yea, your INTENT is to be racist

but since prezbo and sambo dont really sound very much alike except for the end, i dont buy it

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Presbo

1. Presbo - A lesbian who has been impregnated via artificial insemenation

"Look at how big that referee is! She must be a presbo!"

2. Presbo - A nickname for President Barack Obama (Pres. B.O.), generally used by people who can't face the fact that a black man has become president of the United States.

"By the time PresBO gets finished, everyone will be taxed so much that they'll have to go on welfare, and the middle class will be wiped out, and the only people who can eat will be the ones with guns! You'll have to join a gang to survive! All of this just because you liberals had to vote for that — that — that ..."

Then your thinking is skewed. Who created that definition? How does that definition even fit the word---did the creator of the definition poll every person who ever used the term? Which definition pre-dates the other?

Race baiting....pure and simple. The usual gang of master baiters have all made their appearance here right on cue. Yaaaawn.

Calling someone out on their racism is race-baiting?

Isn't it about time to pull out the phrase favored by those who are mad they can't use derogatory names for minorities in public anymore: "Politically Correct"?

...mad they can't use derogatory names for minorities in public anymore...

You ought to hear some of them in private.

What we have here is "lace curtain" racists and "pig shjt" racists.

Is anyone here "old enough" to know to what I'm referring?

"Calling someone out on their racism is race-baiting?"

I believe that would fall into the "pig shjt" category.

Man the number of times I have watched the left losing an argument (or a series of arguments) and they fall back on the tired old "racist" line...LOL

When Rev Al Sharpton was involved in the Tawanna Brawley hoax his defense was "Racisim".

From now on he is THE ONE.

If we must eliminate the term -bo from the dictionary for the purposes of Political Correctness....

There are a list of words that lose. (LOL).

Yep. Nothing new. You’ll see out-and-out bigots, people who run interference for them, fence-sitters… all sorts.

Combine that garbage with the trolling and flamebaiting and it makes for a pretty foul brew.

But what will they be like in another 10 or 20 years as their demographic continues to shrink? I’m sure pockets of it will grow more concentrated, more malignant.... like on Internet forums where they can make contact with 'like minds' from all over.

Tilt...ya wanna talk RACISIM...ask a light skinned black about how he is treated by other Darker Blacks.

As we begin to separate into more and more different "groups" we will begin to see forms of "bigotry" that will dwarf anything the Irish or the Blacks or the Italians ever faced.

race-baiting:
the making of verbal attacks against members of a racial group

That is how Noncon defines calling people out on their racism.

"Race baiting....pure and simple."

You've got it ass-backwards, Mr. Clean.
Simple............yes, but not so pure.

Yeah, Al Sharpton is a buffoon.

It always comes back to those being intellectually dishonest, doesn't it? Don't have a valid argument or can't hang in the conversation with the big kids so they try to turn it into something it's not---especially the one with admitted racist tendencies, lol.

If you were being honest and were actually pointing out someone's racism and criticising them for that, everyone else here would be right there with you. But, as usual, that's not what you're doing.

I mean seriously, the extremes to which some of you have to go to in order to hide your own ridiculous racist thoughts is quite humorous. Don't you ever get embarrassed by it? What kind of deep seeded thinking are you trying to keep buried when you hear someone say "PresBO" or see the term in print and think to yourself 'hmm, Pres obviously stands for the word president, and even though B. O. is the president's initials, because the president is black and decades ago there was a character called Little Black Sambo that most people today never even heard of, I think that those using the term Presbo are.......(shudder).....RACIST!'

F'n clowns, lol. I do love it when people aren't shy about putting their stupidity on display---it's fun to watch.


So, no takers yet: where and when and how did the term originate?

who gives a f*ck where the term originates? the word "#&%!$" originated with the portuguese word for black ("negro") and wasn't always considered derogatory. it's not uncommon for it to be used as a term of endearment. yet i don't see anyone on THIS board using that word in common conversation as a descriptive term. i am not seeing the relevance of where the term originates, nonconformist.
