"Or normal"?
Yeah but that's not like all the others that are unfortunate advertising placements. That's just a racist ad.
Looks like a gag ad. I blame fraternities.
Yes, I'd certainly HOPE it's not real.
It sounds like something that a stereotypical limosine liberal would come up with.

Uh, no, I meant the stereotypical wealthy liberal who has probably never actually met a black person, except for the servants.
That stereotype isn't necessarily associated with wealthy *liberals*.

Sure, there's a stereotype of a completely out-of-touch wealthy person that doesn't even have a political component, and another of out-of-touch wealthy conservatives. But there's also a stereotype of the limosine liberal, too, which was the one I was discussing.
Silly dps. Liberals are incapable of racism!!! I mean look at Seedy.
I don't think that's something that's true of a stereotypical limousine liberal, at least not anymore. There's depictions of that type on tv all the time, and there's always black people moving around in their circles. The stuffy exurban rich lily-white stereotype is more likely to be connected with conservatism.

The knock on limousine liberals was/is that they espoused liberal values without having any skin in the game. I.e. soft on crime but live in the suburbs, in favor of school busing but send their kids to private school. Not that they didn't know any blacks and certainly not that they were bigots.

Eh, no. That means he's a Languishite. It's common practice here, and practically encouraged.

I wasn't suggesting that they were bigots, just completely out-of-touch. Someone who's an actual bigot wouldn't likely be paying for an ad that says "Everyone deserves to be treated equally". They probably think having a live-in maid is "normal" too.
And I did say that it was a stereotype, not an accurate description of any large number of people. OTOH, there must be (or used to be) at least a few people who conform to the stereotype, or otherwise how did it become a stereotype in the first place? Or how the hell else do you explain that ad, anyway (assuming that Viper is right)?
You mean like a well-intentioned white person who says "my colored friends?"
Not sure what riding in a limousine has to do with that.

Maybe my understanding of the stereotype is different from yours, possibly due to changes in the stereotype between my youth and yours? You are about 20 years younger than me IIRC.

Hmm. I wouldn't have minded being born about 20 years earlier. I would have come of age in a much better economic climate, and I'd be about to retire now. On the downside, I would have had to live longer before some creature comforts became commerically available, and I might have been drafted (though if all else was the same, I'd have still been 4-F anyway).

Come on man, you've been around since the beginning, and Yi was already past the mid-30s back then. Hell, I am getting to the mid 30s myself. Did you think he was on his 20s on the P'dox OT days of yore?
All I know is that Larch has all the women.
I'm past my prime on that field.
You can ever be too old. Bunga bunga.
I still don't have enough money to pull that off. I guess it'll be a dry spell until my 60s or something. :lol:

Huh. I put Yi at 40ish. Figured he was in the same age range as Derspeiss, Ed, and CdM.
Don't let him fool you; derspiess was obviously born in 1921.
Sometimes I wish I had :mellow:
Hmm. I wouldn't have minded being born about 20 years earlier. I would have come of age in a much better economic climate, and I'd be about to retire now. On the downside, I would have had to live longer before some creature comforts became commerically available, and I might have been drafted (though if all else was the same, I'd have still been 4-F anyway).
I'd have done okay in Vietnam.

Question?
Not at all. I imagine it's very nice for heterosexual white people. Going back to their glory days and all that.

Things just made a lot more sense in the 50s.

Indeed. Black people and women knew their place. And gays had the good sense to remember they were dirty perverts.
Of course just a decade later, they all got uppity. :mad:

I didn't say I was okay with the segregation thing. Thankfully that wasn't the case everywhere.
1/3rd - that's still a failing grade.

Mine work fine.
I'm glad I was only briefly trained on rotary phones. That would have been a useless skill...kinda like using a land line at home.

Welcome to the 21st century, old man. Oh please keep your shoes off the sofa.

At least my phones will work during the next 9/11. Your little cellular paperweight won't.

What good would a working phone do me? So someone can sync my 911 call to the crash of the building I'm in?

We'll sticky the link to the YouTube clip of you screaming all the way down, into a pile of dusty rubble and glitter.
Oh lovely. Just promise me you will edit me so I don't sound douchey?

Indeed, it's fashionable to have black friends. :yes:
I was previously fashionable. :cool:

You might want to re-word that. It makes you sound like you were fashionable when it was fashionable to be racist, but now that racism is out of fashion, you are no longer fashionable.
