    Default Computer racism




    Why is white the master and black the slave on a IDE cable?

    I'm sorry but REALLY!? Tell me your joking, because if you aren't it is crap like this that perpetuates stereotypes and racism just as much as the last few archaic jackasses that continue their uneducated epitaphs.
    Regedit'ed, Rooted, and Jailbroke anymore questions?
    Here’s a bumper sticker I’d like to see: “We are the proud parents of a child who’s self-esteem is sufficient that he doesn’t need us promoting his minor scholastic achievements on the back of our car.”

    It's a joke, I'm sure he doesn't actually think this. Yes, racist jokes will forever exist within our society wether you want them to or not.
    It's like JFK announcing the moon mission. He had no expertise in space travel, and no way of knowing if it would work. He just announced "we're going to the moon" and then they made it happen because everyone was on the same page and working towards the same goal. If he had said "well, let's get some people in space, and we'll see how far out we can get, and if I find someone to make a rocket strong enough, we could possibly approach the moon's orbit and maybe land" it wouldn't have happened.

    I have seen odder things, being that racism tends to be one of those self serving beliefs. Kind of like those cult leaders that never drink their own kool aid. It was the brevity of the comment and the fact that the colors were wrong in the reference I was like
