I'm so tired of SJW's I can't the fuck help it if I have balls and white skin. Also Shane should be able to help with this: How is the word "indentured servant" DIFFERENT from the word slave?

addendum to my last thought: The phrase "all white people" or "all males" or "all whateverthefuckelse" should be replaced with the "overwhelming majority of white people" etc, because even when slavery was a thing, the overwhelming majority of us were indentured servants U fucking cunt.

Indentured servitude is for a fixed period of time, usually to pay off a debt.

Not always for a fixed period, for those sentenced to penal servitude, which might be for life.  However, people under penal servitude, even for life, were still not held to be chattel property under the law, but the same as any other person serving a penal sentence.  At least one colony did develop chattel slavery from indenture, however.

Quote[T]he "Obama bounce" in the global stature of the United States experienced in 2009 is clearly a thing of the past. And this gradual erosion of support is, in part, due to the diminishing popularity of U.S. President Barack Obama himself in some nations.

So once again, they don't understand statistics.

I know: that's why I qualified my statement with "even if..."

My point, though, was Obama didn't get this on his own merits. It jumped up immediately when he took office. Like his Nobel Peace Prize, all he had to do to get it was 1) get elected, and 2) not be George W. Bush.

It's done nothing but go down since then. By any objective measure, this is a testament to how BAD Barack Obama has been!
Meh

Salon.com: It's time for Marvel to make Magneto black by Eli Keel

Summary: Magneto can't be Jewish any more because the Holocaust was such a long time ago.

To paraphrase another commenter: Yeah, make the villain a black guy, that won't backfire at all. /sarcasm
