Hey, When Did Blacks Start Making EYE CONTACT With Americans?

'Give you delusions of grandeur and evil eye, Give you the idea that you're too good to die, Then they bury you from your head to your feet, From the disease of conceit.'Let’s see, what do the nuts have to complain about today? That Barack Hussein is lookin’ at white folk in a critical-like fashion! Yes, yes he can. So much for the “good old days,” when the only coloreds in the White House were the Help, and you can bet your white ass they wouldn’t be all up in your grill, looking at you, when you were talking to them. Barack Obama should jes’ look down at his loose shoes when he’s gettin’ spoke to. [The Awl]

    Y’all knew this would happen when an uppity colored guy got ‘lected to the black house…

  2. Thank goodness he doesn’t give Angela Merkle that “Hey, baby, boom chicka wow wow, ya know?” look Bush used to give her.

  3. SayItWithWookies says at 12:44 pm, June 30th, 2009

    Did Obama kill Vince Foster and Michael Jackson — with his glare?

    Developing…

  4. Bearbloke says at 12:44 pm, June 30th, 2009

    We’re looking through you white devils!

  5. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 12:44 pm, June 30th, 2009

    That’s not an “evil eye”, it’s “an eye with a working brain behind it”.

    Oh, wait. I forgot Drudge’s target audience.

  6. rambone says at 12:45 pm, June 30th, 2009

    They were always looking at the white-folk that way. It’s just that before, the coloreds were standing behind whitey while the crackers dined so no one noticed.

  7. Manos: Hands of Fate says at 12:45 pm, June 30th, 2009

    Who does that man think he is, all looking at people and stuff.

    Does the Newseum have a section on stupidity yet?

  8. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 12:46 pm, June 30th, 2009

    Quotation-parallelism fail, Bunny.

  9. hobospacejunkie says at 12:46 pm, June 30th, 2009

    RUN FER YER LIFES NIGGER PREZDINT!

  10. President Beeblebrox says at 12:48 pm, June 30th, 2009

    OBAMA HAS “EVIL EYE”…
    DEVELOPING…

  11. Mike Steele says at 12:49 pm, June 30th, 2009

    I love looking whitey in the eye. As RNC Chairman, I’m actually SUPPOSED to do this.

    Plus, I NEVER put my iPod on Shuffle.

  12. HES JUS TRIN’ 2 REED DA TELEPROMTERZZ!!!111!!~one!1

  13. Bypartizoa says at 12:51 pm, June 30th, 2009

    “Why, no suh, Missuh Drudge, suh. I wuhn’t be so dissaspecful as so look you in yo eye. No, suh, I’s jest lookin’ at dem watah melon fields inna distance ovah dere. You knows how I loves me my watah melons, suh!”

  14. freakishlystrong says at 12:51 pm, June 30th, 2009

    Fuck, slow news day Drudge? Now he’s just cold makin’ shit up…

  15. charlesdegoal says at 12:52 pm, June 30th, 2009

    Alvaro Uribev? What kind of Latino name is that? Also, courier suck as a font just as Druge sucks as a commentator.

  16. ManchuCandidate says at 12:53 pm, June 30th, 2009

    Evil Eye is the new Uppity

  17. Does he have two contact lenses, one marked with the word ‘love’, the other marked with the word ‘hate’?

  18. greywindz says at 12:55 pm, June 30th, 2009

    “You talking’ t’ me?…You taw-lkin to meeee??!!?”

  19. tunamelt says at 12:55 pm, June 30th, 2009

    Jesus Christ. It’s only 10:00 am. I can’t start drinking because I hate humanity yet.

  20. Blender says at 12:56 pm, June 30th, 2009

    This was all prophesied the first time Arnold got up in Mr. Drummond’s face and exclaimed, “WHATCHOOO TALKIN’ ABOUT, OLD WHITE GUY?!?”

    It’s all Gary Coleman’s fault.

  21. magic titty says at 12:59 pm, June 30th, 2009

    The Audacity of Whistlin’ At A White Lady

  22. freakishlystrong: What do you mean by “now”?

  23. I remember the golden age, when a white man could say the most buttfucking retarded thing in human history (lookin’ at you, Chip Reid et alia) and the black guy he said it to would look down and mumble “yes marstah.” Now they feel like they have a right to make you feel bad for going to important press conferences about international diplomacy and making a complete ass of yourself, and your country by extension.

    FUN FACT: Obama casting a “baleful eye” at his opponents is an action ghostwritten by Bill Ayers, who once used the phrase in some book nobody gave a shit about.

  24. trickyrick says at 1:02 pm, June 30th, 2009

    Is Ken Layne a “vicious cocksucker”?

    http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/06/malkin-award-niminee-10.html

    Defense of teh Palin reaches new level.
    Will Layne give this ‘other’ McCain the evil eye?

  25. CrunchyKnee says at 1:03 pm, June 30th, 2009

    BASKITBALL PLAING, MUSLIN SOCIALIST NONAMERICAN…NOW HES LOOKING FOLK STRATE IN THE EYE!!!1111!!! REVELOOTION IS COMING!11!1, ALSO.

  26. hyperrreal says at 1:06 pm, June 30th, 2009

    This is like the movie “The Omen” when the AntiChrist(tm) looks at people and they get run over by street sweepers and stabbed with crucifixes “coincidentally”.

  27. imissopus says at 1:09 pm, June 30th, 2009
  28. godforbidowright says at 1:12 pm, June 30th, 2009

    Developing… Drudge’s grade school newspaper writing abilty.

  29. norbizness says at 1:14 pm, June 30th, 2009

    I have raised my own cracker-ass terror alert level to chartreuse, and will go to full-on ecru (quitting work, going off the grid, stocking up on pork n’ beans) if Drudge adds animated sirens to the story.

  30. This is nothing new. Hasn’t Mr. T been doing his ‘I pity the foo’ look at white people for years?

  31. FormerDCite says at 1:16 pm, June 30th, 2009

    Obama is developing an even more sinister version of the eye, which he plans to use on Kim Jong-Il and Ahmadinejad. He will test the new version on Republican members of congress who want to filibuster Sotomayor, thus speeding up the nomination process.

  32. magic titty: For Barry book bastardizations, I still prefer “Hope of My Dreams” and “The Audacity of Muslim Africa”.

  33. norbizness says at 1:17 pm, June 30th, 2009

    TGY: “Mr. T Releases Pity List ‘85″

  34. nappyduggs says at 1:17 pm, June 30th, 2009

    Shouldn’t the pic be shopped so that one eye is crosst towards t’other so as to show that Obama IS ONE HALF FUCKING WHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITE?!!!!!!!!!!!111!

    This really is some plantation mentality boooshit right hee-uh.

  35. facehead says at 1:19 pm, June 30th, 2009

    I hear his flatulence is much worse.

  36. WhatTheHeck says at 1:19 pm, June 30th, 2009

    Angered, the president said from now on when he makes eye contact with idiots they will turn to a pillar of salt.

  37. SayItWithWookies says at 1:20 pm, June 30th, 2009

    magic titty: Nice Emmett Till reference. We’ve come a long way as a country — even if we’ve had to drag half of it with us, kicking and screaming.

  38. Prommie says at 1:22 pm, June 30th, 2009

    I really did think the pigfuckers and goat molesting racist hicks and nascar dicks would literally rise up, march in the streets, with their guns, take to the hills, and start shooting, when Obama took office.

    Turns out they are going just as batshit crazy as that scenario would require, but it manifests itself in a slightly more subtle way.

    There is an awful lot of stupidity. I think its the cognitive dissonance. Its like a stupid eruption or a stupid storm of some kind. I wonder if scientists will ever be able to understand it, and forecast it, like the weather. “Todays weather, cloudy, with an 80% chance a republican governor will go pussy crazy, and a 30% chance the minority leader will say something racist.”

  39. freakishlystrong says at 1:31 pm, June 30th, 2009

    NJB: Good point, I was just trying to work a “cold” in there…

  40. Repubs:
    The eyes are the windows to the soul, who’s telling y’all that you’re inbred jackasses. I hope his gaze makes y’all piss/shit your Brooks Bros. 48w 28l slacks.

  41. WadISay says at 1:32 pm, June 30th, 2009

    Also, every answer at his press conferences should end with “boss.”

  42. AKAM80TheWolf says at 1:33 pm, June 30th, 2009

    godforbidowright:

    His pole-smoking ability, however, is quite advanced.

  43. charlesdegoal says at 1:33 pm, June 30th, 2009

    trickyrick: The link is not quite right (”nominee”) but the man is a weirdo:
    “Given the choice between being Oprah and Sarah Palin, then, most young women would rather be like Sarah — and not merely because Todd is such a tasty hunk of prime beef.”</i.
    Tasty hunk? Who’s gay Here?

  44. magic titty says at 1:33 pm, June 30th, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: Now that, my friend, was excellent.

  45. Holee shit! That projection leveled at Goons and Layne is seriously strong. It might require a new flying mammal, because batshit can’t contain it.

  46. Bearbloke says at 1:43 pm, June 30th, 2009

    imissopus: Alright then - as Winston once said: “War is a game that is played with a smile. If you can’t smile, grin. If you can’t grin, keep out of the way till you can.”

    So, if it is to be war, then let us face if with a smile. I, too vote to go to War.

  47. Evil Eye? That’s the look of love for his country.

    Even if it was the Evil Eye, its a whole let better to the W Blank Stare of a Fried Brain

  48. Bruno: As ‘love for country’ sometimes requires a horror of stupidity, yes.

  49. Extemporanus says at 1:49 pm, June 30th, 2009

    facehead: Stink eye? Brown eye? Eye eye eye-eye, a Mexican hot tortilla?

  50. Urbanachiever says at 1:49 pm, June 30th, 2009

    FormerDCite: It’s just Obama’s version of “Blue Steel”– The new look will be called “Magnum,” and nobody will be able to resist its powers.

  51. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 1:58 pm, June 30th, 2009

    So, Obama is Romani, and we are just all watching an elaborate, gigantic version of The Riches?

  52. WickedWitch says at 2:00 pm, June 30th, 2009

    It’s two pm in my world — so I will start drinking now.

  53. Crazybroad says at 2:00 pm, June 30th, 2009

    Blender: Genius.

  54. Cicada says at 2:05 pm, June 30th, 2009

    “Evil eye” is just a reference to Barry’s voodoo powers. All those secret muslins have ‘em.

  55. Snarkalicious says at 2:14 pm, June 30th, 2009

    Bruno: Thats ‘Bacon’. Fried Bacon.

  56. nbawriter says at 2:20 pm, June 30th, 2009

    I can remember plenty of times when I had my picture taken in an unguarded moment, and then I saw the picture and in the frame my facial expression seems to convey being irritated or unhappy, when I know for a fact that neither was the case at the time.

    In other words: STOP OVER-FUCKING-ANALYZING PHOTOS, DOUCHE!!

    (See, if you took my picture there, I really would have been irritated and/or unhappy.)

  57. Mad Farmer Manifest says at 2:21 pm, June 30th, 2009

    I did see anyone that Drudge named in that article who didn’t need the “are you fucking kidding me?” look. Stupids deserve no mercy. And really, it’s a parent look that means “you’re headed for a time-out, mister.” Totally appropriate for our emotionally-5-years-old conservatives like Boner and Silvio.

  58. jokahmon says at 2:34 pm, June 30th, 2009

    DOS on McCain in 3, 2, (look out McCain. . . ; )

  59. Mad Farmer Manifest says at 2:39 pm, June 30th, 2009

    Cicada: I hope he does have voodoo powers. It’s about time that Ogun Feraille helps us put the smackdown on these wanna-be slavers.

  60. Let me see if I understand this correctly. Some useless goof-ass white corporate shill reporter let’s his/her quacky-duck ring tone go off during a press conference, and the President is not allowed to look at these people, as a collective or as individuals, critically. The criticism seems a tad unreasonable to me, frankly. IMHO. And if I may say so. Permission to speak freely assumed on my part. If I may.

    Biden has been looking people in the eye ‘critically’, for years. So, anything goes, as far as I am concerned.

  61. dr.giraud says at 3:21 pm, June 30th, 2009

    Wait ’til he gives ‘em one of these . . .

    http://tiny.cc/7hT3F

  62. liquiddaddy says at 3:43 pm, June 30th, 2009

    It’s hard to look a man in the eye when he is on his knees, especially if he has a fedora on.

  63. norbizness says at 3:52 pm, June 30th, 2009

    I get it, now… we are all Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet (at 0:45)

  64. TexasCowGirl says at 4:18 pm, June 30th, 2009

    Cicada: You know when you consider the various misfortunes that are befalling all of Barry’s enemies and detractors, that voodoo shit may not be too far off. These motherfuckers are dropping like flies.

  65. NotthatLC says at 4:59 pm, June 30th, 2009

    Jesus, it’s that slow a news day? Isn’t Michael Jackson still dead?

  66. Jukesgrrl says at 6:24 pm, June 30th, 2009

    I would like him to level that gaze at Harry Reid once a day or until Reid resigns.

  67. TexasCowGirl: Sanford, Ensign, Hoekstra, Steele, Rush, Beck… and the rest. Those dudes make their own voodoo. Or doodoo. Or dodo doodoo voodoo.

    I’ll get it figured out eventually, but that is closer to the truth.

    seriouly, as a web developer, I still cant believe that cunttard makes so much money posting shit like this on a SINGLE, bland html page.

  70. Barrett808 says at 1:57 pm, July 1st, 2009

    Didn’t they used to lynch teh blacks for “reckless eyeballing”?
