RACIST QUESTIONS

Did They Lighten Bobby Jindal’s Skin Enough, For A Presidential Run?

Louisiana Governor Bobby “Smart, But Also A Psychotic Exorcist” Jindal was a possible 2012 presidential candidate until that one time he appeared on teevee and looked super gay. But there’s always 2016! (Unless there is not in fact a 2016, because of war and debt!) And in this libtard collage, we find in the center — Jindal’s official portrait — the necessary light-skinned Negro candidate for president. Other pictures of the governor depict a Mexican Monster of some sort. [AMERICAblog]

    Jindal is clearly one of the Lizard People, Chameleon variety.

  2. ForTheTurnstiles says at 3:04 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Honest Injun!

  3. Ducksworthy says at 3:04 pm, January 12th, 2010

    He’s trying to turn green in the picture with the trees,

  4. Still looks too ethnic. Needs to do a full Michael Jackson.

  5. Fox News Light says at 3:05 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Reid Was Right!

  6. FlownOver says at 3:06 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Sing along now… “One of these things is not like the others…”

  7. Extemporanus says at 3:06 pm, January 12th, 2010

    ForTheTurnstiles: DIShonest Injun!

  8. rmontcal says at 3:07 pm, January 12th, 2010

    If you looked at several pictures of me over the course of 12 months, my skin would be several different shades as well. August would be darkest and March would be lightest… something like that. Why would Jindal be any different?

  9. Cape Clod says at 3:07 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Cary Grant: “Well done, Bugler.”

  10. Gopherit says at 3:09 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Cape Clod: +1 for the obscure Gunga Din reference.

  11. I_KILL_ZOMBIES_ALSO says at 3:10 pm, January 12th, 2010

    I still have a problem believing the GOP would let in an Ay-rab Muslin among their ranks.

  12. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 3:10 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Those pictures are disturbing. I realize they’re a part of American history, but really, they’re too much.

  13. SmutBoffin says at 3:10 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Enhance…enhance…now zoom in. OK, freeze that.

    Well, there’s no denying it, Bobby J’s half-brother (whose mom is Norwegian, or something) is the Center Square!

  14. Extemporanus says at 3:11 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Annnd…welcome back everyone to “Bollywood Squares”!

    Now, whose turn is it?

  15. Sad fact: in India, victim of centuries of racism by the Brits, there are a number of popular skin lightening cosmetics; sort of like our redneck spray-on-tans, but in reverse.

  16. Hooray For Anything says at 3:11 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Obviously, if Jindal is going to run, he’ll need to be a light skinned Indian with no Indian dialect

  17. UnattendedConsequence says at 3:11 pm, January 12th, 2010

    I’m pretty sure the whitey one is actually Alfred E. Newman.

  18. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:11 pm, January 12th, 2010

    EXAMINE IN AW OF WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE:

  19. NoWireHangers says at 3:11 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Looks like someone fell into a vat of Fair and Handsome…

  20. Sweet Baby Cheeses says at 3:12 pm, January 12th, 2010

    SmutBoffin: Bollywood Squares?

  21. rikitikitavi says at 3:12 pm, January 12th, 2010

    And also, he doesn’t talk in Hindi dialect unless he wants to.

  22. In the top center picture, he is trying to resemble Mississippi mud to capture the shrimp boater vote.

  23. What I find remarkable is the fact that someone spent time looking at pictures of Bobby Jindal rather than the wealth of pornographical depictions available on the internets.

  24. rikitikitavi says at 3:13 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Hooray For Anything: I was beat to the punch!

  25. Gopherit says at 3:13 pm, January 12th, 2010

    I’m more concerned about the migration of his part. Sometimes the right, sometimes left, sometimes center, and SOMETIMES IT’S GONE! IT’S INHUMAN!!!!

    Also….rmontcal: that middle pic has more of a “I’ve spent several months in a cave like a morlock” look to it. That’s typically republican.

  26. wallythepug says at 3:13 pm, January 12th, 2010

    No way would he have a natural pink-y tone…he’s been debrowned.

  27. thehelveticascenario says at 3:14 pm, January 12th, 2010

    UnattendedConsequence: “What, me whitey?”

  28. Gopherit says at 3:14 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Hooray For Anything: Jindal has the redneck shitkicker dialect down pretty well.

  29. Extemporanus says at 3:14 pm, January 12th, 2010

    rmontcal: Are you in Procol Harem, too?

  30. slappypaddy says at 3:15 pm, January 12th, 2010

    the spirit of moonwalking michael lives on!

  31. Needs more mango chutney.

  32. SmutBoffin says at 3:16 pm, January 12th, 2010

    To be fair, in my? official portraits, I have a complexion similar to the interior of a potato. (I am typically very ruddy, because of the drinking.)

  33. Also, the definition of a ’smart exorcist’ is one who draws a Magic Circle with an oversize compass.

  34. Jim Demintia says at 3:16 pm, January 12th, 2010

    YOU ALL JUST DON’T GET IT! The one in the center is the REAL JINDAL. It’s the others that have been photoshopped, to make him look more like Michael Steele.

  35. Sweet Baby Cheeses says at 3:17 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Extemporanus: DOH!! You beat me to the buzzer. Survey says you get to buy a vowel, bid one dollar and solve the puzzle for $1000, Alex. Oh wait…

  36. Extemporanus says at 3:18 pm, January 12th, 2010

    SmutBoffin: I swear to Ganesha that I hit my buzzer before you.

  37. RubberSoul says at 3:19 pm, January 12th, 2010

    He may be light-skinned enough for the general eletion, but he’s nowhere near light-skinned enough for the primary.

  38. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 3:19 pm, January 12th, 2010

    MMS: Not really. There’s a whole host of curry queens out there who find Piyush’s visage pretty damn fap-worthy.

  39. jetjaguar says at 3:20 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Talk about a guy that could use a $400 haircut!

  40. GOP Math 101:
    Right Wing Christian < Ethnic Looking
    Intelligent < Ethnic Looking

    It’ll be Huckabee.

  41. chascates says at 3:21 pm, January 12th, 2010

    He is clean but not that articulate. And he only talks like Abu Nahasapeemapetilon when he wants to.

  42. Come here a minute says at 3:21 pm, January 12th, 2010

    $140 million for something called ‘volcano monitoring’. Instead of monitoring volcanoes, what Congress should be monitoring is the eruption of skin hue questions in Washington, DC.

  43. widestanceromancer says at 3:21 pm, January 12th, 2010

    And do make sure he is referred to as Bobby JINDLE. Jindal sounds like some savage dish made from lentils, which obviously this decent flesh-toned man would not eat (even if he were stranded whilst studying volcanoes).

  44. DC Hates Me says at 3:21 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Jindal is a very inspirational figure. He’s convinced me to move to India and become president of that country. I’m working on my tan now.

  45. Woodwards Friend says at 3:22 pm, January 12th, 2010

    SmutBoffin: I’ll take Jim J. Bullock Jindal for the block!

  46. JadedDIssonance says at 3:22 pm, January 12th, 2010

    that guy in the bottom left is a dead-ringer for that Ahmadinijad feller.

  47. SayItWithWookies says at 3:23 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Pfff — totally faux controversy — the one in the middle square is the maid.

  48. rmontcal: He never leaves the shadows.

  49. Cape Clod says at 3:26 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Gopherit: Not obscure enough for the very knowlegable Gopherit.

  50. Extemporanus says at 3:26 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Sweet Baby Cheeses: Extemporanus: Alright, this temporal toe tapping really needs to stop.

  51. Suds McKenzie says at 3:28 pm, January 12th, 2010

    shortsshortsshorts: It has been broughten!1

  52. Extemporanus says at 3:28 pm, January 12th, 2010

    SayItWithWookies: I’ve spent the last 15 minutes trying to find a decent “Brady Bunch” font.

    Thank you for putting me out of my misery.

  53. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 3:29 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Where is the picture of Jindal’s ass, through which he speaks out of?

    In fact, all politicians’ official portraits should now be their asses. I’m talking to you, Obama!

  54. Speaking of “Gunga Din”, Shout “Kali” at each of them. The one that doesn’t duck is the white guy.

  55. El Pinche says at 3:31 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Who’s the gay ass honkey in the middle? Whip out the cock, I’ll tell you who’s white.

  56. nbawriter says at 3:39 pm, January 12th, 2010

    JadedDIssonance: I was going to say the Paul Lynde Jindal. Because I’m old.

  57. The middle portrait is his appeal to the vast army of Mary Kay make-up ladies in Louisiana who will sell any brown a vast vat of pepto-bismol colored makeup.

    Bobby knows his people, and they are pink.

  58. snideinplainsight says at 3:43 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Welcome to America and the real world of Louisihonkey.

  59. slithytoves says at 3:43 pm, January 12th, 2010

    rmontcal: I could be wrong about this, but in Louisiana I don’t believe they have winters of the type that bleach every pigment from my skin and make me truly white. Sort of undercuts the “seasonal” argument. If you notice, all of his darker skinned pix are taken in natural lighting. I don’t know what the hell that means, but it might be relevant if I knew anything about lighting.

  60. Snarkalicious says at 3:43 pm, January 12th, 2010

    shortsshortsshorts: Once upon a time, I was a freshman in college. My first semester (and only one at said institution) I attended the same college that Fred Rogers did. My RA, he was in the same fraternity that Fred Rogers was. He was also my drug dealer. That makes this picture proof that Bobby Jindal is funneling money to the Taliban.

    HOLY FUCK CHECK HIS GOT-DAM BALLS FOR URANIUM!!!!!!

  61. Mr Blifil says at 3:49 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Nine Is Not Enough.

  62. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:49 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Snarkalicious: SWEET GOD THE TRUTH IS KNOWN.

  63. PlanetWingnuta says at 3:50 pm, January 12th, 2010

    there’s a good explaination for all this.

    The middle one is a CYLON!

  64. Extemporanus says at 3:51 pm, January 12th, 2010

    shortsshortsshorts: It’s a neighborly day in this Bollywood…

  65. I think he’s in a foursome with Sammy Ben Laden at Whitewash Golf Club.

  66. Monsieur Grumpe says at 3:59 pm, January 12th, 2010

    He could get elected if he does a good Apu impression.

  67. Lascauxcaveman says at 4:06 pm, January 12th, 2010

    slithytoves: Yeaaas, as a former semiprofessional photographer (in the journalisms!) I can assert that lighting conditions make all the difference in the world. Tungsten, several ‘heat’ levels of fluorescent, direct sunlight, reflected sunlight, overcast, shade, firelight all have their own tones. And anything shot for teevee is going to involve tons of orange and pink makeup no matter what.

    So, sure. They lightened up Bobby J, and they darkened him, and oranged him, and pinked him …

  68. ManchuCandidate says at 4:07 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Still can’t remove Jindal’s douchiness.

  69. El Pinche says at 4:08 pm, January 12th, 2010
  70. Darkness says at 4:10 pm, January 12th, 2010

    MMMM, pink as a newborn Teutonic baby’s bottom.

  71. PickneyPinchback says at 4:30 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Oh, I get it. It’s some demonic form of The Brady Bunch, with Jindal’s evil identical possessed siblings surrounding the good white Jindal, who is really Alice the lesbian maid.

  72. Army of None says at 4:49 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Please let the Republicans run him. That one, much-hyped speech he gave. What was it, the official Republican response to the State of the Union speech? Wasn’t it a total catastrophe on multiple counts? And think of it, running on the idea that you had brought Lousiana to its current height of smooth-runningness? What a winning ticket!

  73. Red Zeppelin says at 4:53 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Forget the color–dude’s ugly!

  74. bureaucrap says at 4:54 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Refresh my memory: Was it George Allen who called Jindal “Macaca”, or Jindal who called George Allen “Macaca”?

  75. zenferret says at 4:56 pm, January 12th, 2010

    rmontcal: Louisiana winters are brutal eh?

  76. zenferret says at 4:58 pm, January 12th, 2010

    slithytoves: Great I get distracted and get preposted my comment is a far better way.

  77. mardam422 says at 5:12 pm, January 12th, 2010

    How many different ways can that guy comb his hair anyway?

  78. mardam422 says at 5:14 pm, January 12th, 2010

    shortsshortsshorts: YOU BLASPHEME!!!1

  79. The results of a horribly blotched Anal Bleaching in Mexico. Let that be a lesson to you all.

  80. Oldskool says at 5:49 pm, January 12th, 2010

    His face looks like it’s trying to unscrew itself from his head. Gak.

  81. GeneralLerong says at 5:56 pm, January 12th, 2010

    El Pinche: Oooo! That’s nice! After I regained consciousness from the epileptic fit, I felt really good!

  82. BruceLee5000 says at 6:04 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Quick! Who’s up for a round of FUCK, MARRY, KILL?!
    From the upper-right to the lower-left, is cut a tic-tac-toe swath of crazy chocolate dreaminess.

  83. Accordion-o-rama says at 6:29 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Extemporanus: I’ll take Charlieyanashanachar Weaveravanarasarajavijaya in the center square.

  84. thesheriffisnear says at 6:39 pm, January 12th, 2010

    Red Zeppelin: I always felt Piyush looked like a Zanti Misifit. Is that too arcane a reference?

    http://www.badmovies.org/tvshows/outerlimits/zanti/zanti_cap3.jpg

  85. Dolmance says at 6:48 pm, January 12th, 2010

    He looks like Alfred E. Neuman fucked an Indian whore on one of his many goodwill trips to the Sub Continent and made a weird sort of ungodly Lousiana/Hindi/mulatto and dedicated cocksucker. The fucker’s eyes are lopsided. Same what-me-worry smile. And I cannot believe that someone hasn’t ejaculated in that mutant’s mouth at some time or another. Definitely representative of his party in a strange sort of way.

  86. I’m black, and my skin tone changes quite a bit between summer and winter—- so part of this change for Jindal is seasonal I think, he’s not getting as much sun. The other part was photoshop to brighten him up, but I think it is completely possible that “winter bobby JIndal” is 4 shades lighter than “summer Bobby Jindal” because I know that winter Meg9 is 4 shades lighter than “end of summer Meg9″

  87. windupbird says at 10:01 pm, January 12th, 2010

    He always places the wrong emPHASis on the wrong sylLABle

  88. 9/11 is a verb says at 10:19 pm, January 12th, 2010

    It looks like the Repugs Sammy-Sosaed him..either that or it is their new Fox sitcom, “The Gay Indian Brady Bunch”

  89. rmontcal: If you looked at several pictures of me over the course of 12 months, my skin would be several different shades as well. Especially if I let a retarded monkey go nuts with photoshop gaussian blur and airbrush on a couple of them.
