What does a dumb dog in a bumble bee costume have to do with Christmas or Kwanzaa?!?!? This is horrible! How could you ever degrade a day that is used to celebrate African heritage??? Did you think it was funny that you were using a BLACK dog??? Did you think that it was funny that it was wearing YELLOW??? Did you think that it was symbolic that the BLACK dog was hunched over??? You are a racist!

This was all in good fun. How could you possibly assume that there were racist implications involved here? Sure the dog is black and hunched over with his little tongue out... it's a black labrador! JEEZ...

Oh, so are you saying that the black man is nothing more than a stupid BLACK dog?!?! It's people like you that tend to simplify things too much. It doesn't matter. DOES IT?!?! Just a stupid little BLACK dog in YELLOW. ISN'T IT?!?!

The dog is in yellow and black.

I know this poor little Kwanzaa bee :( She's NOT dumb. She loves all beings, and spreads a message of peace to all races and religions...except maybe those bastard Jack Russells & Yellow Labs.

btw - Kwanzaa isn't ONE day it is from Dec. 26-Jan. 1...kinda strange to cry racism, and not even understand the cultural celebration.

Hey, mister Anonymous. What do you have against Yellow Labs? Did they not treat you good when you were a child?

If this is the person who took that picture, then I understand you now. You truly are a racist! First you attack BLACK people and then you start downing the Asians too. You should be ashamed of yourself!

give it a break, pal. this site is pure fun, not for some dim-bulb who cries "racist" over funny stuff!

Now, I know that you would like to think that the world is so simple and easy and that nobody is making any racial implications by sending in pictures of their pooches, but I am here to tell you that there are racist elements involved with this one. I will surely need to contact the NCAA and see what they have to say about your negligence!

Shame on you for your ignorance--you must be white!

hey, funster, does you day revolve around 'fumes' of any sort? a little 'crack' maybe? a line or two of 'coke'?

get a life...better yet, get a yellow lab (with a black cape, of course).

Why do you feel that you must insult me and my intelligence because I am merely complaining about the obvious racial implications of that image? Why must you assume that I am high on some sort of drug to see that this is a horrible attack upon my people? It sounds like you know much more about doing drugs than I ever have or ever will.

As for your suggestion that I get a yellow lab, I have decided to do something different:
I am going to go out and purchase a WHITE teacup poodle and keep it in a cage all the time. Then I am going to take a picture of this miserable little pawn and show your people what I think of your racially-charged pictures!

Now shut up and get out of the discussion if you aren't able to understand what is going on here!!!

Okay, so I am white. I think you are very funny. Does that mean I am racist?

Yes, you are a racist, fascist pig and I hate you!

Nobody commented on this earlier but I thought it was pretty funny.... the NCAA is the National College Athletic Association, but the allusion was clearly to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). That little slip-up, which to me was obviously on purpose, was a nice finishing touch.

Interesting...I just took it for granted that iwannakwanzaa meant "National Altruistic Churn Clan", part of Fox News.
Well, you could be right.

nice idea, but the reference was to the naacp, not the aclu.

Okay, you got me. I was playing around because I thought it would be some humor that people would definitely catch on to. And yes, I did plant a few "ooooppsies" in here and there for clues. :)

So don't worry anybody, there is not really a person that is crazy enough to believe that a picture of a dog is racist. But wasn't it fun to see her rantings???

GOOD JOB, IWANNAKWANZAA!
THANKS FOR THE MANY LAUGHS!

"Shame on you for your ignorance--you must be white!"

I don't know if anyone else caught on to this. Please, uhh "brotha" do not play Malcom X with us, if you are just going to turn around and use the same stereotypes with us. Not all white people are against the "black--er sorry you prefer "African-American" --revolution. I thought we had enough white rappers and "ghetto" teens to prove that.

Just because you are too dim to see the obvious racial tension involved with that photograph doesn't mean that you have to attack me! You people are out of your minds to not understand what I am saying. Open your minds and eyes and look at the image! It's obvious.

How did u get Asian out of Yellow Lab?! Wow, this sounds like a case of someone with too much time on their hands. I guess since I was once burnt by fire, and have openly said I don't like fire, I'm against the Native Americans, because they have fires, huh?

I've seen how the Kwanzaa Bee stings...only yellow labs and Jack Russells. Don't ask me why? Just beware around the holiday season watch your yellow lab puppies and Jack Russells...

This response was so stupid that I am not even going to respond to it!

any possibility that "kwanzaa bee" get fancied up in pope's garb next year? you know, a little white cape with gold trim. a little pope crown, papal cross dangling around her neck. even a nice pope ring. why shouldn't "kwanzaa bee" be, a "pope bee"?
or "popess bee", whatever, huh?

"kwanzaa bee" is the bee's knee's! she rocks!

This is a terrible idea, and I think that your sole reasoning for mentioning it is to depreciate the significance of this current picture. Like I have said before to others, if you are going to just make light of the situation, then get out of the discussion!

The only thing "significant" about this thread is your nuttiness! When someone starts screaming "racist", then proceeds to use words like "hate", "whitey","kill" don't expect folks HERE to take them seriously.
Thanks for all the laughs.

(You are a hippy)$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

There was no racism in that picture. Only a fool would make up something insane like that on these precious precious pictures.

Don't be talking about what you don't understand. That is as racist as it gets. You need to learn to see through the simple image to see the harsh imagery!

What harsh image? You know nothing and you will be nothing.

Dead to me!

calm down!!! maybe the photogropher dosnt know much about kwanza! they just wants to share there dog (who is a common black labrador) Its just a picture.

relax < 0 o >

1. No racism is implied. She could've just as easily been a Christmas Bee and I wouldn't have gotten all freaky about anti Christ references. Someone just needs to relax
2. Kwanzaa Bee is the only dog in the contest that is fully in costume... give those people some credit!
3. She is adorable! If our pug wasn't in the contest, we would've voted for her too. :)

Obviously, you wouldn't have been offended by it being a Christmas bee--there are no racial implications in that. For the fact that this "Bee" is representing Kwanzaa, an African-American celebration of African-American culture, makes this offensive especially because it is black.

And why should I give credit to anyone who goes through the trouble of torturing their dog to get a stupid picture that will ultimately offend me??? I don't think so!

That dog is not adorable! How can I get you people to understand that the dog is representative of the black man and that the fact that it is hunched over and looking so sad means that the black man should be subserviant to the white man. The black man should wear the clothes that he is given by the white man--even though they are the ugliest clothes on the rack! The black man should stay low and let the white man take stupid pictures of him, so the white man can show all of his friends while they laugh at the black man! You just don't get it! You are so dumb!

See you just got to attack the black people by making death threats! KILL WHITEY!

I think your just stressed about something.

You bet I'm stressed about something! I'm the only who can see the obvious racial issues involved with this picture... KWANZAA BEE?!?!?! Why does it have to be a black dog... someone is just not even thinking here.

How do you know that I am white? Are you looking at me through my computer? Are you stalking me?

I'm actual Samoan if you must know.

Ummm. . . have you ever seen Undercover Brother? Cause dude sounds just like Conspiracy Brotha to me. I thought the bee was cute. I still don't get what it has to do with the holidays, but I love black labs.

WACK?!?!? You're the one who is wack! I do not appreciate your bringing up racist movies in order to describe my obvious disdain with this picture! You would like a little black lab, so you can order it around and beat it... just because it is more socially acceptable to beat your animals rather than my people!

All I'm saying is that was a typical honkey comment to be making to my response. I hate you whether you are Samoan or White!

thank you for enlightening us about being racist.

yer friend, the kike-heeb

Your welcome... Whenever I see social injustice occurring, I have to raise up my voice and let the masses know what I'm talking about!

I have told many people about this, and they all agree with me that this is definitely a racist picture. I just feel sorry for the dog that was used. It is just a senseless pawn in their little white-supremacy games.

perhaps you should get back on your meds...you've lost touch with reality.

The reality is that this is a very big problem. You people just don't understand the social implications of that picture!

Shouldn't it be obvious by now that we have all been spoofed by the "Iwannakwanzaa" writer? No responsible African American internet user would waste his or her time finding racism in a dumb pet picture contest. We have been duped by a clever white supremacist with WAY TOO MUCH FREE TIME. Happy New Year to all, and congrats to the dog owner for her sense of humor.

Who's hoodwinked? Me? You have lost touch with hoodwinkiness! Why must you insult my possible hoodwinking situation? It must be because you are an arrogant hoodwinker determined to hold down the hoodwink in all of us. I and my fellow 'winkers are outraged by your lack of hoodwinking sensitivity!

I don't know who you are, or what you think you are doing, but this is my show, and I am the one who makes the comments here bucko!

Nevertheless, cute retort. :)

What are you complaining about?

At least it wasn't a barbequed kwanzaa bee.

>:}

Exactly so! Not for a nanosecond did we believe the iwannaKwanzaa crazy. I love his/her sense of humor. One thing, tho'...I'm thinkin' there's a connection between iwannaKwanzaa & the infamous "bee". Yeah! I mean some folks would do anything for a free doggie bowl & shirt, right?
YOU ROCK iwannaKwanzaa.

You have got to be the saddest, poorest excuse for a person that I have ever heard in my life. It's losers like YOU who give african americans a bad name.

Calling everyone racist, you should be ashamed of yourself. Sounds to me like YOU are the racist.... you know racism isn't just white people discriminating against blacks, it can go the other way as well.

All my life I've been fighting against a stereotype that idiots like you are all too willing to reinforce. You are a pathetic moron, if you are black, then I am ashamed to say that I am as well.

Do us all a favor and go crawl in a hole somewhere. Better yet, if you find that everyone here is racist...

WHY DON'T YOU JUST LEAVE! I'm sure that they would be glad to have you in Africa. Don't let the door hit you in the a** on the way out.

Thanks, Al. It's good that you took time away from the campaign trail to comment about this very serious issue.
Keep up the good work, you have my vote!

My name is Jesse. Get it right you moron.

KILL WHITEY!

:)

WHY does everyone want to KILL ME?

life's hard, chum. some folks just enjoy killing, a sporting event for those not faint of heart, i guess.

Okay, Mr. Gimme a Break—Get real, if you are too stupid to get a joke (and read that it was a joke… I had mentioned that it was days before you ever posted your message), then you should not be in here and wasting time with this innane garble. And honestly, guy, you are coming off as a little racist there. Cool it!

Oh PLEASE! You get a life IWannaKwanzaa... obviously I was kidding.. in case you hadn't noticed FATHEAD the very next message was me saying I was Mr. Jackson if you're nasty.... You big LOSER!

Oh, I almost forgot...
KILL WHITEY!

OOPS.. my bad. I just realized that my other message said "Mr Jackson if you're Nasty..." not Gimme a Break.
So... MY BAD! I guess my blonde is showing again. :)

And... KILL WHITEY!

WHITEY HAS LEFT THE BUILDING! (too many goo' fokes wann'em dead)
