Obama and McCain, what a wonderful matchup for this November, right? Wrong. On the contrary, it features one man of honor and intellect, someone who doesn't care WHAT people think of him (that would be McCain) against a man with nothing more than a dumbass with a pair of lips so large he could float half of Cuba to the shores of Miami (and probably would.)

I'm sure his penis is bigger than mine too? Want to discredit the biological fact that blacks have larger lips than a white boy like me, might as well discredit all of them! :) See, now watch. You will say I am discussing such obscene things (blah blah blah)...it's all in humor

Biologially speaking, the larger set of lips can be traced to a few different areas. First of all, it is to be noted that not ALL blacks have larger lips than whites (just like there are some white who actually have quite large lips.)
So here goes: one is that poorer Africans generally have been found to breastfeed. The placement of the lips on the mother's breast creates a larger lip that separates from the gum more clearly than a white's.
Another thought is that, since thick lips are a dominant phenotype to thin lips and that this genetic trait is found more often in blacks/African Americans.
A third still, is that lips are a type of air conditioning for the body. As warm air passes over the moist lips, the air is cooled before going into the lungs. This helps keep the body cool in general. People with ancestors who had come from warmer climates (such as Africa, Cuba, Central America, and the like) generally have larger lips.
I don't remember the source of number 2. I had learned that in a high school biology class. Number 3 I had read in a Western Kentucky Univ. biology lab.

And man, if sayin someone has large lips is a racial slur, then we're ALL in trouble.

I made the comment in a prior note "Juuust the Two of Us..." that Obama had "lips so large he could float half of Cuba to the shores of Miami..."
I have had two people now get cranky at me for it, and while I will not flat out retract the story, let me explain this comment. First, a little history on lips and poking fun at people.
While supposedly seen as an insult, it is biologically, physically obvious that blacks/African Americans have lips, of which are larger than a white cracka's like mine.
How this is taken to be offensive, I would not know. Everyone makes fun of McCain for his age and point that he's as shiny as a queball. That would seem like age discrimination to me. Or what about George Bush's ears being so large he looks like Dumbo (and many times takes on the persona of the name itself.)
That is like saying "that man must be Jewish because of his schnoz." I have friends who are Jewish and poke fun all the time. Who cares? So ya have a big nose, it's who you are. And I wore blocks in my shoes when I was little because I had club feet.
Much like I poked fun at a fellow employee for HIS lips (because he was black.) The gal and guy (respectively) couldn't have cared less. Perhaps it's because we are friends and have a mutual understanding we're just bustin' eachother's chops.

There's a lot that many don't see for MLK Jr's hypocrisy. This is why I listed him as a pariah, a fraud, on my facebook status. He supported affirmative action (which does NOT provide equality), he was an adulterous man (as opposed to his Rev. status!)...and the like...see the next few notes (including this one) for more ideas. He stood for a lot, but he also stood for very little.....

MLK had some interesting ideas, but he promoted themin all the wrong ways, for all the wrong reasons, and while being perhaps one of the largest pariahs in American history.
And all of America has fallen for it. Just like those who believe Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson will finally bring together the racial divide in the country. Last time I checked, the reason the racial divide exists is BECAUSE of these two men, the ACLU, and their followers. Just about all of America is not racist. And in human nature, we are all apt to be wary of things (and people) that are different. But to call it, at this point in time, racist, would be a gross misnomer. So if Al and Jesse, the ACLU, and their followers want to change HUMAN NATURE AND PSYCHOLOGICAL INCLINATION, they better look a lot farther ahead than raising millions of dollars for their own sick pleasure
So he admits posting the comments: "The only thing I don't deny is posting that garbage of which I have said time and time again was stupid on my part bc it didn't accurately depict my views and was offensive material." He even admits it was offensive. He goes on to say he isn't racist because he supports Black candidates. What Black candidates? Clarence Thomas and Michael Steele and Alan Keyes? Are these the types of African Americans he supports?
I think his racist comments have spoken for themselves and I have published his responses in their entirety in an effort to give him the chance to respond which he elected not to do right here in the comments.
As for his firing the email from the organization is valid and legitimate. It may be he hasn't been notified.
This young man is quick to threaten me with legal action over statements he now admits to making. What a fool!
