Please Stand Up
I copied this ugly joke here so you'd know what I'm talking about. Some may think its funny. I do not. I think its so sad I could almost cry.
This morning I went to sign my Dogs up for welfare. At first the lady said, "Dogs are not eligible to draw welfare". So I explained to her that my Dogs are mixed in color, unemployed, lazy, can't speak English and have no frigging clue who their Daddies are. They expect me to feed them, provide them with housing and medical care, and feel guilty because they are dogs.So she looked in her policy book to see what it takes to qualify. My Dogs get their first checks Friday.Damn, this is a great country.
I guess I'm an ungrateful so and so. A person on Daily Strength has been sending me jokes... and I've enjoyed many a laugh from them... but sad to say, today, I've asked him not to write to me any more. I copied my note to him below...
I want my friends to know I do not support the ugly things that people have been saying about Obama. I voted for him. Ugly politics may take him out of office before he gets to pull things around but I believe he has been working very hard to do so. I think he's done as well as anyone could have considering the mess he walked into, and that given more time he could truly make some changes. That's just me. I don't want to force what I believe down anyone's throat... but I don't want to stand by quietly any more while people talk ugly about President Obama or spread ugly demeaning things about groups of people. This morning's joke was clearly an attack on people of color, Mexican, and other minorities made me both sad and mad. I hope everyone will stand up and say this is not funny and its not okay. I wish you all well.
I don't mean to sound ugly but I have to speak up. You I believe were in the service and fought to give me the right to be who I am... So here's who I am. I'm a democrat... a bleeding heart... I care about others... I'm not particularly liberal... I voted for Obama. I think he's working hard to turn things around and that many people are using him for a whipping post for everything... a lot of it well on its way long before he became president... Bottom line... your racist jokes... and your jokes about Obama... they offend me. Its a shame... I like a good laugh... but I'd rather not hear from you any more. Thank You Elissa Smith
