A new flavor to honor our first Mulatto president

dhalltoyo · Apr 29, 2009

In honor of the 44th President of the United States , Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has introduced a new flavor; " Barocky Road ".

Barocky Road is a blend of half Vanilla, half Chocolate, and surrounded by Nuts and Flakes.

The Vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient.

The Nuts and Flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow.

The cost is $100.00 per scoop.

When purchased it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but then the Ice Cream is taken away and given to the person in line behind you.

Thus you are left with an empty Wallet, no change, holding an empty cone, with no hope of getting any Ice Cream.

Are you feeling stimulated?

How True

Turtle · Apr 29, 2009

Actually, very little of it is true. The agriculture creamery at Penn State, not Baskin-Robins, came up with "BaRocky Road" as one of three flavors of ice cream created for the Pennsylvania State Inaugural Ball back in January.

"BaRocky Road" is a variation of the Rocky Road flavor, but with more chocolate swirl and chocolate-covered peanuts mixed into the vanilla ice cream. "'BaRocky Road' is a rocky road or tin roof sundae flavor, vanilla ice cream with chunky add-ins such as peanuts, brownies, candy and chocolate swirl," says Creamery manager Tom Palchak.

"'Obama White House' is vanilla ice cream with maraschino cherries, and 'BidenBerry' is vanilla ice cream with red raspberry variegate through it."

Penn State creamery officials say they're no plans yet to offer "BaRocky Road" to the public.

Incidentally, every time the rev posts Mulatto, he's reinforcing his racism. The ice cream, the real version or the satirical one, has nothing whatsoever to do with Mulatto. Pretty much anyone with any "black" blood in them has been considered to be black. If your great-great-great grandmother was black, you are, too. Halle Berry is black. Tiger Woods is black. Other people of mixed black and white, or black and pretty much anything, are black.

Interestingly, before Obama was a Senator, he was black. No, really, he was! And even as a Senator he was black. But as a president, suddenly he's not black. Why is that? It's because racists just can't stand the thought of having a black president. Therefore, he's Mulatto. If you call him black, they get all kinds of bent out of shape. "He's not black!!! He's Mulaaaaatto!"
It's hilarious. And pathetic.

Well said Turtle and Will Rev Dave ever say why Jesus is packing heat?

I am thinking of becoming a Reverend too, whats it cost like 10 bucks lol

DougTravels · Apr 29, 2009

Hey Rev Dave I got a better pic for you! Jesus with a Double Barrel Sawed off shotgun and a Chainsaw. He can really get those mulattos with weapons like these!

dhalltoyo · Apr 29, 2009

How funny! You guys are a hoot.

Racism! What a joke!

Nice try. It was expected; a tendency to resort to personal attacks in an attempt to discredit someone with an opposing view. Yawn...

If you read back through my previous posts in the months preceding Barrack's rise to power, you would have read that I have two nieces (daughters of my wife's sister) that are both married to Black men. They have no problem refering to their children as being Mulatto. We love having their beautiful children visit with us and we often watch them to give mom and dad some free time alone.

And my (first) choice for president was a truly Black American; Condelezza Rice (read my posts prior to the election). A Christian lady with traditional values as opposed to Barrack who warmed the pew while listening to pastor spew his "racism" and "hatred" from the pulpit for twenty years! The first time Jeremiah Wright blasphemed God, Barrack should have stood up and walked out the door of that church, but he did not! Why? Because he lacks character and conviction.

FYI. We have plenty of Black and Mulatto members in our church. I personally have trained Black pastors and support their ministries. And in case you haven't figured it out, there are many Black men and women in our jails. As a someone who has Chaplain privileges I visit with all of those who request a Chaplain. Even as a teenager our father encouraged us to attend school in the community as opposed attending a government school on the Air Force Base. Why? Our father felt it was important to display support for those who attended our church and were engaged in the Civil Rights movement.

Please feel free to stop by and visit our church at 1600 Brownleigh Road, Kettering, Ohio. I will be more than happy to save seat for you. I sit near my friend of many years, Brother Derek Smith so it will easy to locate me. Oh, by the way...Brother Smith is a Black man and his son is Mulatto. He can explain it to you; if necessary.

Does not Barrack fits the definition?

Of course, he does.

And he also fits the definition of a Socialist too.

Boys...we have a new flavor; Humble Pie. How many scoops would you like?

OntarioVanMan · Apr 29, 2009

Oh my...another new flavor of the day...Crow....

best served heated....*LOL*

LDB · Apr 29, 2009

Obama is a mulatto. That has nothing to do with racism and everything to do with fact. He proudly claims his black father and his white mother. That's his right. If you doubt he's mulatto just go to dictionary.com and look up the definition of mulatto. It's already posted above but for those who are Missourian you can look it up yourself.

aristotle · Apr 29, 2009

Of course, Obama's a mulatto. Rev Dave used the word in its proper context. The liberals have so *******ized the language that the use of many legitimate words has become a de facto form of hate speech. Pretty soon to be a de jure form.

Turtle · Apr 29, 2009

I'm well educated on the term and know what it means, thanks. I also know that very, very few people referred to Obama as being Mulatto before he became president. There are those who called him black before the election who just cannot bring themselves to now refer to him as black (much less African American, but of course they will have a most excellent reasoning for not calling him African American). The fact that he's Mulatto is not racist, but how people never used the term before to apply it to him, and now it's the only term they'll use for him, is. If the shoe fits...

In any case, ever notice how when someone needs to deflect a charge of racism, they suddenly have a veritable cornucopia of best friends who are from other ethnic groups? We see posts of pure hatred of Muslims, the poster gets called on it, suddenly he's livelong friends with several Muslims. Same with blacks, gays, pick one. Me thinks, strike that, me knows, he doth protest too much.

"Of course, Obama's a mulatto. Rev Dave used the word in its proper context."

Actually, he didn't. Mulatto OR Black would be out of context for the joke he posted. Neither term is in place on the joke "in the wild", as he added that little gem on his own. He just had to get his little racist dig in there somehow.

No one's arguing that Obama isn't Mulatto. But there sure are those who steadfastly maintain that he's not black, even though a year ago he was. <snicker>

aristotle · Apr 29, 2009

Obama's mixed racial heritage affords him the right to identify himself as he pleases. That is all good and well.

Turtle · Apr 29, 2009

He refers to himself as a mutt. But how Obama chooses to label himself isn't the issue with regard to the joke in question and the use of Mulatto here in this thread. The joke, Internet wide, is, "In Honor of the 44th President of the United States , Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has issued a new flavor, " Barocky Road .."

So ask yourself, why would the rev change that theme specifically to reflect race in the Subject line? The body of the joke itself points out what we already know, that he's half vanilla, half chocolate. It's a funny joke. But the descriptive Mulatto qualifier in the Subject line changes the tone completely. His posted rebuttal when called on it makes it quite clear that it was done for a specific purpose, otherwise, why do it?

I admit I didn't read the rev's joke. Still haven't. I generally skip over posts more than one or two paragraphs long. Perhaps I should have withheld comment until I read everything. It is a pet peeve that some cannot make a point succinctly. In the future, and this will be painful, I will make a better effort.

Back on topic, I cannot explain rev's thinking. Yet, I cringe whenever the politically correct crowd try to police our use of language. Today, in the name of sensitivity, the PC people would ban the use of words like mulatto or Negro. Encouraged by the victories, tomorrow they might seize words like Bible, democracy, manifest destiny, American exceptionalism, etc. We cannot outlaw words. I fear the Left will codify into law many words now in common usage. Words reflecting their pet causes : race, gender, sexual orientation. Look no further than how the Left is attempting to re-define the word "marriage."

Turtle · Apr 30, 2009

I admit I didn't read the rev's joke. Still haven't.

Oh, go ahead. You know you want to.

It's an excellent example of the pun personified. Of course, the joke's been on the net for quite a while now, since December, I think. But on its own, without the editorialized Subject line, it's funny.

Ah, gay marriage and politically correct speech, a couple of subjects I have posted on a length here in the past (most definitely more than a couple of paragraphs, which is why you've probably not read them

).

Politically Correct speech is nothing more than thought censorship, because that's what it does. I have no problem with the words the rev is using. What I have a problem with is the hypocrisy of how he's using them to forward what can only be described as stealth racism. Fact is, I don't even have a problem with racism, to a certain degree. Whether they admit it or not, everyone is racist to a degree, wary of whoever or whatever is different. It's human nature to be racist on some levels. It's only when it takes a bad turn that it becomes ugly and unacceptable.

The rev's posting history is varied, but consistent. Stealth gay bashing, stealth Muslim bashing, stealth black bashing. When he gets called on it, he's shocked that anyone would accuse him of such things because he's got good friends who are gay, Muslim and black. He rarely if ever posts about Obama's politics alone. It's usually, if not always, without posting some connection to race or ethnic group in order to besmirch Obama by association rather then directly. It's stealth hypocrisy at its finest. The whole Khalid extravaganza illustrates it rather well when you look at some of his previous postings.

I wonder what Mr. Gautama's take is on mulattos, Hmmm.........

letzrockexpress · May 3, 2009

By definition, Obama is a mulatto. The only problem I have with this term is that it is a little outdated. Calling Obama a mulatto would be like calling one of you guys a "real cool cat" or daddi-o....

Turtle · May 3, 2009

Oh, it's way more outdated than that. It's a term that simply isn't in the mainstream. Never had been. It's a technical term that is from the Spanish and Portuguese "mulata" meaning a mule, or of mixed breed, a term originating from the 16th century when Portugal became master breeders of certain kinds of horses.

It came to be used in the European Colonies in the Americas, primarily by the Spanish, but quickly adopted by others for the sake of consistency, as a means of dealing with the racial policies of the European colonizers. Because (civil) rights and responsibilities were directly based on the degree of European blood that a person had, such classifications were highly elaborated and detailed, where even the most minor distinctions in ancestry were meticulously recorded. These terms had significant social and business implications.

The various terms that were in place all have strict and highly precise definitions. Terms like "mulatto" meant black and white parents. Lesser known terms like "octoroon", which is the offspring of a "quadroon" and a white person, also known as a "mestee" or "mustee". Also ""mestizo" which is someone of mixed European and Native American ancestry, but it had very special technical meanings in the colonies, and different meanings in the West Indies (and in the Phillipines today, as well as used to denote certain kinds of mestizo, a prized wool from mixed breed sheep in South America). The "quadroon" is one having one-fourth black ancestry, of course, the offspring of a white and a mulatto.

But even back then, the terms were not in every day usage. They were legal terms as much as anything. They were used to determine certain rights and responsiblities, and to categorize certain individuals on official documents, like for the purchase of a slave. In many cases, when precise ancestry was unknown, the appearance of skin color is what got you your technical classification.

The end of the colonies with the Declaration of Independence also brought the end of the need to classify rights and responsibilities based on the percentage of European blood, and thus the end of the need for such technical, legal terms.

So to defend the use of mulatto (mule) today is at best disengenuous, and at worst, laughably racist because the user is trying to live with a 1600's and 1700's mentality. Yeah, it's the technical term, but it's a technical term that is long gone, as the need and the very reason for the term is dead. Unless, of course, you have the mind of a slave trader and keeping track of how much white blood a person has is important to you.

letzrockexpress · May 3, 2009

I don't know if mulatto is any kind of official term or not. until 1964 brought the Civil Rights Act, any child born with any "negro" blood relatives in his or her backgroung was considered a negro. Birth certificates reflected this.
