Charles Barkley

[Napoléon]

Didn't you know Barkley is an Oreo?....black on the outside but white on the inside?

You know, some people consider terms like that racist.

Just sayin'.

Woodie thinks its a compliment.

Actually Barkley, who has made noises about running for governor of Alabama for years, would be a considerable improvement of the YEC Jesus freak currently sitting in the governor's mansion.

The trouble is that if you give them that power they use to collect student loans.

Will they come collect my next door neighbor if I ask them?

I am racist....but I know I am racist and try to over come it. This is a trait that makes me better than people like Minimalist who are also racist...but simply pretend they are not.

So you're trying to overcome it... by using the term "oreo". Gotcha. You're making some great strides there

Oreo is a derogatory word, but the "derogatoriness" of the remark refers to ones character and not their skin color. Not all blacks consider oreo to be a racist term and neither do I.

I was an inverse oreo when Tony was banging me


Hell if I know where that usage lies on the spectrum

The only thing I see is that today the 'typical' blue uniformed cop who pulls out a pistol, when the 'bad guy' pulls out an Uzi...

Truthfully, that's not a very common scenario. Usually the cop shoots someone who is simply unarmed.

might I add...black young men who have there hands up????

Let me be racially unbiased here, then, in saying that both you and the black people you are talking about are fucking idiots. Oreo means "black on the outside, but white on the inside." It's just about as explicitly racist as a term can possibly be.

Two things about this.

1) How many cops have been killed by uzis, vs. how many black kids have been killed by service pistols? The ratio has to be 1 against dozens.

2) Why are cops and citizens considered on equal par? Fuck that. Cops sign up to protect citizens, and that includes risk of death. Nobody signed up to protect cops, and nobody should have to die in order for a cop to maximize his personal safety. In my opinion, no cop should ever be allowed to fire a weapon unless he's already been fired at, regardless of whether a "bad guy" (aka a 12 year-old kid) is carrying a gun, or a CITIZEN is at grave risk from knife or other weapon threats.
