I thought being able to openly talk about colored people in public was the whole point in living beyond your 80th birthday.

About ten years ago, I was watching the Cubs game on TV at my wife's (then girlfriend) mother's house. My wife's old 80-something great aunt Mill was there. The room was silent other than the TV, but when Sosa came to the plate, she says, "You know, they say he's Hispanic, but he looks black to me".

Ah yes, the Imperial Towers. I used to live there--place was crawling with 2x2s AND elderly people. All walking their bishon frises in front of the building & being lifted into Med-cars & shit.

I think the bigger problem than Aunt Mill's racism is her poor eyesight.

one time my grandma (moment of silence) was playing with one of my nephews and did the 'eeine meenie miney moe', then said the 2nd part of it WAY differently than i ever heard before....

My great Grandma referred to Brazilian nuts as "N*gger toes". When we told her they're not called that anymore, she seemed confused.

so is this a db thread for the nba or a shoutout thread for shakes' grandma?

Before we shoved her ass in a home had me rolling


Both my grandpas were prejudice. The names don't matter but my one grandpa would throw out insanely made up stats.

98.7% of all crime....

Dropped that advanced stat on me on the way home from a Sox game.

Don't be afraid of advanced stats, Bryan.

Before we shoved her ass in the home a couple years ago, my 99 year old Grandma lived in the twin towers condos at Montrose and Lake shore. Over the past 20 years she has gotten a lot of gay neighbors. I go to pick her up one day and she says to me that there are "lots of 2 by 2's living in her building now". I say, uh Grandma, what's a 2 by 2? She says that's what she calls the gays cause they are always walking around in pairs.

Classic name that I hope one day catches on.

My grandfather called black dudes "The Great Unwashed". He really was a very sweet, nice, very sick sick man. It was kind of embarrassing to have him around when my friends came over cause he actually called a buddy of mine that. We were like 6 so the poor bastard really didn't freak about it. We had a black family move in next door. They came by once for some kind of backyard party we had, and gramps really ended up liking the guy. "That Dave Thomas ain't so bad for a black fella". Nice gramps. He was totally Carol O'Connor's Archie Bunker. In the long run I suppose it was good to be exposed to that kind of shit because even as a teeny tiny Darko thought it was bizarre behavior and my parents always taught me that was not the way to live life.
