"It must've been a little black boy because the name was, you know, some strange name"
-my Aunt

"You're probably going to say this sounds racist, but those people, they can't even take care of one kid and they keep having more! They don't work, and they just have more and more kids and try to live off welfare. And why can't they stop killing eachother?"

"What's wrong with 'Redskins?' Nobody actually has red skin! Everyone's so sensitive, it doesn't even make sense!"
-middle aged Mom from my school district

"So, the blacks have made it this far"

"You can't say anything anymore. They're always stopping you or complaining, you get that Sharpton with the media on his side anytime anyone says anything"

"Rush Limbaugh isn't racist"
-friend's father

"I went into Wegmans on Valentines day and saw all these things, they were decorations and they looked like I don't know, like little chocolate monkeys, and they were all over the place, and then I noticed that the blacks were going crazy for them and buying them. They were there for the blacks!"
-this one hurts... my Grandma :(
