Fucking Sick. More evidence fundies just don't get it-warning: racist joke

[Tiggeroshii]

Here's a little "joke" that's been circulating as of late:

Three strangers strike up a conversation in the airport passenger lounge in Bozeman, Montana,
while awaiting their respective flights.





One is an American Indian passing through from Lame Deer.

Another is a Cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock

show and the third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab

student, newly arrived at Montana State University from

the Middle East.





Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures.

Soon, the two Westerners learn that the Arab is a

devout, radical Muslim and the conversation falls

into an uneasy lull.





The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his

boots on a magazine table and tips his big

sweat-stained hat forward over his face. The wind

outside is blowing tumbleweeds around, and the

old windsock is flapping; but still no plane comes.





Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and

softly he speaks, "At one time here, my people were

many, but sadly, now we are few."





The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward,

"Once my people were few," he sneers,


"and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?"





The Montana cowboy shifts his toothpick to one side

of his mouth and from the darkness beneath his Stetson

says in a smooth drawl ......





"That's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims

yet, but I do believe it's a-comin´".



:mad:

There was a conversation that followed this. I mentioned it's a sick "joke." The person who posted this on the blog I was reading responded with: "You liberals don't understand these people are trying to kill us."

I had to explain to him that Muslims and islamic fundamentlism were two different things.

ergh...

:mad:

1. It's an old joke

It used to be "Cowboys and..." <---Insert the 'N' word here.

It was originally told to me by an Indian, actually. He saw it more as bashing "cowboys" than anything else. Making fun of racists.

:shrug:

3. lol, making fun of racists.

Is that how you heard it? "Cowboys and !@#$$#?"

6. Yup...

He had the most wicked grin on his face when he told it to me.

I have always disliked rednecks and he knew it.

5. Funny...

Not the joke, but where the location of the joke is, Montana. My wife is american indian, and was up in Montana for an american indian scholar seminar, and while there...she experienced some heavy racial attitudes about American Indians. This was in Billings though(where my wife experienced the racism), not Bozeman, and interesting to note, the cowboy was on his way to Billings in the joke...
