a friend forwarded a racist email to me today expressing dismay at the sick element that still exists in large numbers in our society.... Pictures don't lie
A little girl wrote to Sarah Palin and asked;
'How did the human race start?'
Sarah Palin answered, "God made Adam and Eve."
"They had children, and so was all mankind made."
Two days later the girl wrote to Michelle Obama and asked the same
question.
Michelle Obama answered, "Many years ago there were monkeys from
which the human race evolved."
The confused girl went to her father and said, "Dad, how is it possible
that Sarah Palin told me, "The human race was created by God," and
Michelle Obama said, "They were evolved from monkeys?"
Her father answered, "Well, Honey, it is very simple, Sarah Palin told
you about her ancestors, and Michelle Obama, told you about hers."

for whom is this racist, the president or the monkey. I don't get where monkeys are racist, no matter whose picture is compared. :roll:

Deflection. Seriously you don't think what Bob posted above is racist? Seriously?

Well, let's deconstruct the joke. The entire purpose of the joke, if not its traditional punch line, is to compare a photo of Michelle Obama with that of a monkey. (Adding an attractive picture of Palin is just a bonus.)
The part about evolution vs. creationism, while it comes at the end, is not the purpose of the joke but the part that wraps around the true punch line.
Do you often hear jokes about evolution vs. creationism? I don't. It appears to be a very heated topic. However, the joke comparing black people with monkeys is older than any person alive today.

What in the world possessed someone to post this thing? No one's mind is changed but those who think this is funny will spread it further. This does nothing to further our society.:angry:

If you found the email offensive or racist, why post it on Sowal and perpetuate the cycle?
Deleting it and telling the sender you don't want to receive such items is much more effective.

This "joke" didn't even bring a smirk to my lips. It's a lame attempt, at best, at a joke.

Disgusting more than funny

Saw the joke this morning when I logged on. Didn't laugh. Didn't like it. It's a self described racist email so I ignored it. Thought it would have been removed. Logged on just now and I'm surprised to see it still on the site. Let's all just ignore this post and talk about something pleasant.

I don't post nearly as much as some of the "pros" on here and I enjoy MOST of the info, banter, humor and debates. I was shocked to see this first thing this a.m.
If this is acceptable, I will be seriously reassessing my affiliation with this board.
Is it offensive? - to some YES
Does it embody what SOWAL is about? - IMHO no

I'll revise my earlier comment. I was wrong. When I first saw the post I wasn't logged on. I didn't see any photos, just link addresses for them. Without the images, it is just a creationist vs evolutionist joke.
But, WITH the images my interpretation of the intent changes. It is tasteless - should never have been posted in the first place, and should be deleted.

I'd thank you and others here but my thanks button seems to be missing. I appreciate the clarification and what you said makes sense as it so often does.
I initially thought, and still do, that the point Bob was trying to make is that stuff like this is getting circulated much more than people may think. But I regret participating in the thread, in hindsight. To make the point without including the "joke" or even just summarizing it would be one thing, re-posting the joke in its entirety is another.

Might I point out that it is just as likely that this email was composed by a leftist trying to make Palinistas look like racists? Who is the real sicko?

Now why would this entire post be necessary on a SoWal Site? I thought this community was above that........
And why the heck did I feel the need to even read and reply?

Do you know the actual source of the original email???? If not, how can you be sure it was a racist that sent it. How do you know it wasn't one of your own liberal kind that sent it out trying to make the anti Obama crowd look bad.
Forwarding a worthless, loser email from an unknown source is a pitiful and desperate cry for attention. You seem to be doing a lot of that lately.

See Bob, here is where I have a problem. I voted for the O, but this is so over the top that I think it could have just as easily been composed by some lefty. It is so vile, it should have just been deleted;I don't think the majority who oppose Obama on principle would concoct this kind of crap.
