idiotic / narcissistic / annoying facebook statuses - Page 617 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

I thought that whole thing was a joke (hence the bananas comment, as in "thats bananas")....since there cant possibly in any way be any kind of segregated nonsense like that. I mean like how the **** has al sharpton or whoever not sued the **** outta the school, district, county, etc.????????

not sure if I'm getting leveled or not, but the prom was desegregated for the first time this year. I also don't see why that status was at all threadworthy though.

So you're saying they should stop racing the horses and just slaughter them instead?

Thanks for the info. I've lived in the south and never heard the banana thing before. Don't know why it hasn't caught on here.

lol that reminds me of an old classmate from HS who has a bit of a drinking problem as well as being a colossal moron.

few months ago he updates his status to something like "WTF did you know they don't let you into canada if you have a DUI????!!!" followed by a bunch of people laughing at him saying stuff like "I told you so!"

apparently him and his friends decided to drive 1500 miles to the canadian border for a snowboarding trip only to discover they should've researched that little factoid before going.

What are you talking about? The person who said it was not black (not that that is relevant whatsoever). Because of the unfortunate association of the term with black people (you know the one popularized by actual racists), I thought it was a poor choice of words to express one's surprise when discussing the topic of segregated proms. How you are claiming racism here is just beyond me and I'm pretty sure you must be trolling or something.

Yup. It's like people try to cause debate to prove how "not racist" they are.

Some really dumb points trying to be made itt atm.

Don't want to derail thread so that's the last I'll say about it.

LOL, If that's her standard response to something that is insane, crazy etc... why should she deviate from it? "Oh, don't want to mention bananas and blacks in the same sentence, someone might think I'm racist."
