If even a third of the shit that comes out about Scientology is real, then it’s gotta fall under some kind of racketeering statute. If only a fraction of this shit is true, it’s an organized crime syndicate.

Well Hyde...I guess you weren’t the cool one.

no, he’s a dick.

Jerry is so much better for her.

He looks like this dude. :)

yeah so i’m from indiana, where johnny cougar is from. and i dated a boy who was related to him.

Totally Unrelated Theory: The nicotine and tar are actually keeping Mellencamp alive at this point. He’s like a smoking version of Speed, if he goes below a carton a day, he’ll die.

You know if you change “woman” to “Molding Tangerine” you could have a headline for oh, I don’t know, say four-ish years from now...

Is it insensitive to wonder how she’s managing to keep her tan and naturally straight hair, curly, if she doesn’t have enough money to pay bills? Am I turning into a conservative?

Good lord. She honestly had my sympathy until “she has no intention of ‘going back to being white.’”

I take no joy in this. Despise the woman but I do feel for her children who never asked for this.

going back to being white?? You are white dumb dumb

Yup. It’s not really a racist joke so much as an observation about a racist behavior. I guess you could argue that it’s endorsing said behavior, but he’s not wrong. A lot of older Latinos really do feel that way.

Agree 100%. Having been born and spent a major portion of my life in Latin America...I can say that (in my experience) Lopez is not wrong at all about many Latinos being opposed to dating/marrying black people. This is especially prevalent among the older generations.

I’ve heard this bs before from Latin men, some have gone as far as to say no Latin men will date you after you date a black man. Sounds like penis envy to me.

Yeah, a lot of my friends growing up were (and still are, really) latinos, and some of their older family members were like this. It’s not the funniest joke in the world (and given the current events of the world, that sort of racism clearly isn’t unique to latinos), but it’s definitely one of those *groan* “Ugh,…

I mean, because us black people are pretty familiar with this Latino stereotype. Not that funny, but, like, I’m not really that offended. Setting this up as him “telling a racist joke” seems to take this out of context.
