The fellas at t-shirthell.com are up to it again. If you are not familiar with t-shirt Hell, the outfit is very deft at penning and selling hilarious, witty, and often lewd, t-shirt slogans. One of their new releases may be their best ever.
The t-shirt in mention bears a big-eared Barak Hussein Obama Behind him is the traditional emblem of the Democrat Party, the red white and blue jackass–um– I mean donkey. The caption reads : Half Honkey All Donkey.
How funny is that? Though the t-shirt slogan may be funny at the expense of a racial epithet, that epithet refers to my race, which is full blooded honkey with exception to the fraction of Cherokee blood that flows through my veins, so I feel that can say the word in question freely.
Honkey! Honkey! Honkey!
I have always loved the word “honkey.”
It’s just a funny word, kind of like “discombobulated.” The mere pronunciation of it can garner a giggle.
Obama is indeed half white. His mother is Caucasian (I don’t know exactly where that country is but they say I am from there even though I can’t find it on a map) and his father is Kenyan, I believe. But like Halle Berry (she so hot) vying to win an Oscar, it doesn’t benefit Obama to promote his pale-face past (that’s the Cherokee Indian coming out in me). In his young presidential campaign, Obama parades his blackness around like a badge he won at the county fair for his prize rooster. On the Nets we see pictures of his African father and grandparents while the honkey side of the family gets far less face time. Likewise, Halle Berry (did I already say she’s hot) was awarded an Oscar a few years ago in a category that an African American actress had never won before.
African-American? But Halle’s half-honkey too?
Why isn’t there a designation in contests, such as the Oscars and political campaigns , for the half-honkeys of the world like Berry and Obama? Both are automatically coined as African Americans although they are part white. Evidentlyit just ain’t cool to be from Caucasia, even if only half of you is from there.
So we have determined here that Obama is indeed half-honkey, but is he all donkey?
Obama plays the race card to his listeners on the campaign trail like an inbred banjo player. “Evil pale-face keep you down,” he preaches, although not in those exact words. He talks about the audacity of hope, but Obama’ s idea of hope is that everybody in America should get a free lunch. Obama’s idea of hope is the further transformation of the United States into full a socialist society where it’s ok if you are a deadbeat or mediocre at best; the government will take care of you no matter how useless or useful you are. Obama’s brand of hope promises that government owes everybody in this country (not just citizens, notice I said everybody) free health-care no matter how many poor choices they have made to contribute to their health’s demise. Obama’s brand of hope has to be paid for by taxing you and I even farther into oblivion just like our buddies across the pond in Europe do. Our so called allies in Europe who parade around like they are democracies when they are thinly veiled socialists.
Barak Obama may be half-honkey, but the boys at t-shirt hell got it right twice when they called him all-donkey. No matter how Obama tries to package and present himself to the American people, he still brings the same old hackneyed liberal Democrat message to the table: you are not smart enough or capable to take care of yourself, let the government do it for you. Like a genie, government can fulfill your every wish.
Obama may not be proud to be half-honkey, but his definitely proud to be all-donkey when it comes to promoting the same old social liberalism that runs rampant in the Democrat party.
As for me though, I am not ashamed of my honkeyness like Obama is. I am proud to be all-honkey, even though it means I am a horrible dancer and bad basketball player. But in return I can attribute my vast writing and computer skills to my honkeyness.
That’s a lie. Cousin J.D. here wouldn’t even know how to post on my blog if it wasn’t for Cousin Brian showing me how. But Cousin Brian is a honkey, too. Does that count?

You’re an idiot. Do you think saying repeatedly that Halle Berry is hot excuses your racist blathering? Are you not wearing your whiteness like a badge, the same way that you are accusing Barak Obama of parading his blackness? Have you ever watched an interview where Mr. Obama speaks of his mother? He was very close to her and very,very proud of her . He regrets that she didn’t live to meet his daughters. He gives her great credit for raising him to look past color when befriending people, being careful not to judge others based on appearance. I’m sure that it wasn’t easy raising a biracial child in the 70’s as a single white mother. Wish you’d had the same lessons. Mr. Obama is quite proud of his roots, black and white. He is an educated, talented and thoughtful man. I don’t know yet if I’d cast a vote for him in a presidential election – I am still learning about the folks that have thrown their hats in the ring. I would NEVER deny a candidate my vote based on color, or half-color. I certainly wouldn’t judge someone based on a middle name given to them at birth by a mother that they honor in speech and action. It’s laughable that you keep referencing to being a fraction Cherokee – yeah, sure – you and every other southerner because that’s the easiest way to explain away the darker folks that sneaked into your “pure” lineage. You rednecks can just keep inbreeding until you cancel yourselves out. I think that’s called natural selection, or maybe in your neck of the woods – thinning the herd.

Yeah..sure…uh huh…that is zactly how southerners ’splain away the “darker” relatives…the commentor previous is obviously a left wing nut. I AM a fraction Cherokee and a fraction Muskogee (Creek) and in fact am a member of the Creek tribe. My mother is a member of the Creek tribe and my father is a member of the Cherokee tribe. We are white skinned and have no African ancestry. We are all left coasters but my Grandparents were/are southerners. Being southern and/or a redneck does not make one a racist…the author is merely pointing out Obama’s hypocrisy in seemingly denying his Caucasoid ancestry and choosing to USE his “blackness” to gain politically. I for one could care less about one’s ancestry but I certainly care about their politics and Obama’s absolutely suck…isn that there “redneck” enuf fer ya?

As a black democrat, i dont necessarily agree with your arguments, but i respect your right to your views, and enjoyed reading the article nonetheless. but to be honest, i dont think he’s “parading” his blackness. I think he’s simply accepted that in our society, if you’re mixed, you are a black guy with white in him, no a white guy who happens to be part black.
Its always awkward for ppl like him (or tiger woods, for example) who don’t “look white” so they’ve never felt like “a honkey” as you affectionately put it. but at the same time, many in the black community never felt like ppl like these two are “black enough” (afterall, they play golf, go to ivy league schools, etc). not my feelings, but some do feel that way.
anyways, the point i’m trying to make is that i’m sure obama’s proud of both sides of his family, but ppl (including the media) really dont care. if they did, they would say “he might be the first mixed president” not “the first black president.” You might be part native american, but i doubt ppl would take you seriously if you tried to open a casino or claim a peice of land b/c the you feel like it was taken from you
