What do I have to do to get a good racist around here?
Our phone number at work used to be the phone number of a major television network. Consequently, we get lots of wrong number calls. Last weekend, a very concerned racist left two voicemails berating the network. The messages were long so here are some incredible highlights.
...It's not enough we got a steady flow of illegal Browns coming into this country every day, you have to go and show those sickos playing their soccer [apparently the network was showing world cup coverage?], drinking their beers, hootin' and hollerin'...
...You oughta pack up with all them Browns with their Coronas, you all oughta pack up together and move your headquarters to Mexico, you anti-American sickos.
All of this leads me to think, racists need a new PR campaign. Lately, it's just a lot of "those browns this, those browns that". We've heard that before, racists.
Last I heard, Pat Robertson was in poor health; Tom Metzker has faded into obscurity; Pat Buchanan who?
You need a new spokesman with more winning spin. I like Coronas, myself. Can't say I watch a lot of soccer, but I have, on occasion, been known to hoot AND holler.
You've got a long, proud legacy to uphold. You say you care, but where are your burning crosses? Do you really want to be known as lazy, voicemail-leavers? Is that what you've become?
Just think about it.
