Uh! OH!
OREO!
Alpharetta Methodist
Collects 5.4 Tons of Oreos
Goes to Military Overseas
July 6, 2015 12:21 pm
ALPHARETTA, Ga. – For anyone wondering what more than 5 tons of Oreo cookies looks like, ask the congregation of the Alpharetta First United Methodist Church.
With strong community support, Alpharetta First UMC collected 5.64 tons of Oreos for U.S. service members stationed in the Middle East. It was a record number for the church, which has conducted “Operation Oreo” every summer since 2009. This year’s goal was 4 tons of cookies, but a strong outpouring of support from local businesses, churches and individuals pushed the final cookie count well past the original target.
“The community and Alpharetta Methodist are to be applauded for their generous gift to the troops in the Middle East,” said Senior Pastor Dr. Don Martin. “These Oreos are a sweet and tangible sign of our love and support for the brave men and women who serve in a dangerous land. May God protect them until they come home to a grateful nation.” ...
Congregations at Chamblee, Roswell, North Springs, Mt. Pisgah, Bethelview, Cannon and Simpsonwood United Methodist Churches collected hundreds of packages each. In addition, members of Boy Scouts Troop 69 and Cub Scout Pack 459 donated cookies ...
Alpharetta Methodist is located at 69 North Main Street in downtown Alpharetta. For more information about Operation Oreo, please visit afumc.org/oreo.

A LEFTIST REACTS
I detect not-so-subtle }}}}}}}} RACISM {{{{{{{{ here.
Don't you remember? Black people call other black people –– such as Condoleezza Rice, Clarence Thomas, Walter Williams, Star Parker, Ben Carson and Thomas Sowell –– who cooperate with and try successfully to emulate white people, OREOS, because "they're black on the outside, but white on the inside."
And no, to leftist agitators, mercy freaks, grievance junkies and chronic malcontents it's not a joke. I am frankly amazed a complaint has not already been lodged and a lawsuit already put in the works against this huge, racially-motivated SLUR thinly disguised as charity.
There are a great many African-Americans in the armed forces many of them continually In Harm’s Way. How do you think this phony charitable gesture has made THEM feel?
The Alpharetta Methodists should be stripped forever of their tax-free status and made to pay reparations to those poor, beleaguered African Americans who have been insulted, grievously harmed and traumatized –– possibly forever –– by this crass racist gesture. I'll bet most of the so-called Methodists involved are secret members of the Ku Klux Klan.
Expect more of this sort of outrage from Southerners who are royally pissed off about the forced removal of the Virginia Confederate Battle Flag from the grounds of the South Carolina State House.
The Gift of even a single Oreo should now be considered the modern equivalent of a Cross Burning. The gift of TONS of these nasty little Icons of Racial Prejudice is more like a LYNCHING.
We should DEMAND a March on Washington from all people of good conscience to INSIST that Oreos be REMOVED from every grocery store in the land. The product is worse than the Gold Dust Twins, Little Black Sambo, Amos 'n Andy, and Aunt Jemima COMBINED. It MUST be BANNED before widespread rioting, looting, arson and wholesale murder break out nationwide.
I, personally, am so incensed I pledge not to rest, and will refuse to eat, till every single Oreo Cookie and every trace of the packaging that once housed these vile Emblems of Hate and Oppression, and every perverse piece of advertising that ever touted them have been rounded up, brought to Washington, DC, and INCINERATED in a BONFIRE set ablaze at the base of the Capitol Steps –– an event that must be thoroughly documented by the forces of CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, C-Span, The New York Times, the Washington Post and The Nation COMBINED.

LOL! Sorry, FT, but if the cookie fits...
ReplyDeleteI don't know why you think Ms Rice was so abused, or Star Parker, (a little, maybe?), but the rest of them are just a Toms in a cabin together.

DeleteWE are NOT accepting RUDE PERSONAL remarks any linger no matter how pertinent, unless for reasons of our own they set well with US. Neither do we intend to accept routine use of VULGAR EPITHETS, and generally boorish behavior either any longer.
DeleteThe blogosphere –– and too much else –– has become a virtual LITTER BOX placed smack in the midst of the prize oriental rug that served as the emblem of a once-more-orderly, once-more-tactful and decorous society.
If this results in a large diminution in the number of comments, so be it.
We learned long ago that it's far better to be alone than in poor company
Darn, I'm getting really curious about Rat's comments!
DeleteDo you know what conservative Jewish and gentile people I know call liberal Jews? Self-hating Jews. Rather directly accusing them of antisemitism.
Look at the way that crazy white NAACP lady was treated recently, humiliated in public like that, and then attacked by the right as if the humiliation was not enough.
Any public assistance that helps black people is said to all come from "white guilt" and any rhetoric to the contrary is just a smokescreen.
The Right eats these cookies just like the Left, guys.
If it seems to you that someone is working directly against the interests of his group or groups, we point it out as hypocritical and usually suspect either some intellectual failing or conflict of interest. These groups are real things too. There are only so many crazies out there pretending to be of another race. A Jew in Israel certainly is aware of his Jewishness. So, it's not like we're just pulling these epithets out of whole cloth.
So, when I look at your list of offended characters, I see a few things. Rice, when you look at her background and politics, is not what anyone should call a Tom. Clarence Thomas is just nuts. Williams was always a unique mix of opinions, but if I recall he was the one against affirmative action in CA, of all places, so many would call him a Tom. Only bored housewives care a whit about Star Parker. Carson is a loony bird. But Sowell? Sowell is an Uncle Tom of the worst derogatory meaning. Just a horribly anti-black black man.

DeleteBreaking News from South Carolina --
ReplyDeleteThe State Legislature for South Carolina has just announced a ban on the sale of Tylenol tablets because they fear that picking the cotton from the bottles may represent slavery and thus the State will be accused of racism.

ReplyDeleteThe LGBT community urges persons of conscience to join in their boycott of that most loathsome of high-caloric snack foods, that sugary confection whose very name evokes sniggers among homophobes everywhere: Twinkies!

ReplyDeleteYour contention is loathsome!!!!
Oreos are absolutely my favorite and I will continue to enjoy them 'til I die no matter you think.

DeleteYou left out Fox News, they should cover it as well.
ReplyDeleteWhile we are at it, we need to also ban bananas in support of our Asian friends.
No more of this white on the inside, yellow on the outside business. That also
covers Twinkies.
The radish too must go if we have any sensitivity to our native american friends.
For the last 12 years I have refrained from buying Oreos and I have apologized to my kids for being so insensitive to terrible racial stereotypes as to ever having served them these loathsome cookies.
Thank you for bringing this outrage to public attention. I’ll forward your insightful remarks to my friends at United Methodist Communications. The next General Conference of the United Methodist Church will be held next May in Portland, OR. I believe there is still time to see that this matter is placed on the agenda.
In solidarity,
Regina McKewen

ReplyDeleteI’ve known for some time that within the black community, Oreo can be a very offensive term, per the following website article:
"DEFINITION: To much of the public, an Oreo is simply a black cookie sandwich with white cream filling. In the African-American community, however, an Oreo is used as a racial slur to insult blacks who "act white" or identify as such. The racial name Oreo is controversial because many blacks recount being called the racial term for doing well in school or speaking proper English, not because they didn't identify as black.
"In short, these African Americans were singled out as sellouts simply for excelling academically and in other areas. Many blacks find this term hurtful, for they are proud of their African-American heritage."
On the other hand, the cookie by that name is as all-American as apple pie, and sending them to military troops (which, according to the article you cited) the church has been doing for 6 years) is hardly a racially tainted act.
Smile, chuckle, and laugh!
ReplyDeleteAnd Zart.
DeleteNick,
DeleteIn future, please do your best to avoid posting CRYPTIC remarks.
Thank you.
They should change the Presidential Seal from an Eagle to a Skunk. It's half black and half white and it stinks!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny!
DeleteThe only thing wrong about is that skunks are so darned CUTE once you get to know them. I'm sure you'd agree that Barry-O is anything-but "cute,"
Amen to that
ReplyDeleteAmen to WHAT, dear Lassie? It's always helpful to be explicit, if you hope to be properly understood. Few of us are good a mind-reading. ;-)

DeleteIf you mean ambiguous, why don't you say so!
ReplyDeleteAs I white person, I find the Oreo cookie dispersal plan HIGHLY OFFENSIVE. No one should be forced to eat Oreo's unless also supplied with a tall cool glass of MILK. And it is the absence of this cool and purely WHITE substance, that renders the entire gesture, inherently RACIST!

ReplyDeleteAfter seeing all this discussion it occurred to me that someone might make a lot of dough (!) putting out a line of white cupcakes covered in dark chocolate frosting. We could call them LIBEOS and make a bloody fortune. After that maybe a line of miniature spice cakes with lavender-colored frosting called FAGEOS. (:-o
How about inverted cone-shaped licorice-flavored cupcakes covered in snow white icing?
I'll bet those KLANEOS would sell faster'n OREO pancakes.
There's just no end of creative uses to which the human imagination might be put, is there?
Anyone care to invest in OFFENSIVE PRODUCTS UNLIMITED? The time is ripe. It's the chance of a lifetime. Stock certificates will be printed and ready to distribute by next Monday.

ReplyDelete!!!!!!!!!!!!!OREO make Loofah Angry!!!!!!!!!!!!
cAt evil make rankleturds
PIFFLE!
DeleteWhat's worse is they're now fat-shaming people with the latest cookie, OREO THINS!!!
ReplyDeleteUpvote!
DeleteGive less product. Package it seductively. Make more money. Simple as that. Edward Bernays proved that John Q. Publick will buy ANYTHING it it's pitched cleverly enough. Bernays was The Father of Modern Advertising –– an unscrupulous genius, and incredibly evil.
DeleteEither the Frankfurt School borrowed his techniques to gain ascendancy in academia and the media, or Bernays borrowed theirs. It doesn't matter. With those forces at work combined with the terrible influence of the God-hatinganti-Christian, Sigmund Freud, Christendom didn't stand a chance of surviving much past 1955 –– and it DIDN'T, did it?
Sic transit gloria Christi!

But do you accept irreverent remarks?
ReplyDeleteLook us over for a while first, then you tell me, okay?
DeleteFreeThinke, YOU SAID THE FOLLOWING AND NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU DELETE IT, YOU CAN NOT RUN AWAY FROM IT!
ReplyDelete"Get JEWS out of the law schools both as professors, and students, then get them off the Bench as much as possible, and you will see a vast improvement in our system of meting out justice and in our general quality of life almost immediately.
It wasn't a JUDGE who ordered D'Souza to enter government re-education program, it was a JEWISH judge.
Do you realize there are THREE JEWS on the Supreme Court –– one of them certainly a LESBIAN –– in a still-basically Christian country where Jews comprise less than TWO-PERCENT of the population?
And before you say it, I know John Roberts is not a Jew, but we must remember he was TAUGHT by Jews.
Let the name-calling begin. I don't give a damn, and will remain unimpressed"
I BET YOURE SORRY, BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE YOU SAID IT.
Since this keeps getting posted repeatedly, I will break my own rule and answer it –– ONCE –– even though it's irrelevant to the subject of this post.
DeleteI have no intention of "running away"from anything I've ever said. I will not disavow my remark, or pretend I regret saying it, because it is the truth, and it's high time someone told the truth instead of pussyfooting around it, toadying up to the Iron Rule of Silence we suffer with because of Political Correctness.
In case you've never realized it Political Correctness began with the post-WWII taboo against any form of criticism whatsoever of Jews singular or plural.
The dark, depressing, inhibiting, twisted, demented, self-destrctive, frankly suicidal way of life that has overtaken us stems directly from the influence of people who have dreamed of, schemed for, and craftily plotted ways to do us harm –– even destroy us –– for centuries.
I don't wish to harm ANYONE, I only want to stop OTHERS from harming ME and OUR COUNTRY by ruthlessly snuffing out everything I love, admire, and hold sacred.
Read what has happened to DINESH D'SOUZA, a fine and good man, born and raised in India, but who understands, respects, reveres and defends the ideals so brilliantly codified in our Founding Documents. For that he is being PERSECUTED by the present administration. The decision to force D'Souza to suffer the humiliation of four more years of supervised community service with courses in "Sensitivity Training" added for good measure.
That decision was handed down by a JEWISH Judge. It is no accident that EVERY Jew who has ever sat on the Supreme Court has been as RED and as anti-Captiralist, anti-Christian, and anti-American as Vladimir Lenin.
And THAT is the very last thing I intend to say about it –– and the last remark on the subject I will allow to appear –– in the context of Uh Oh! OREO!
Lighten up, TD. And GTFU.
DeleteInspector, AIPac, our admittedly provocative, pointedly-non-PC stance has a tendency to smoke out The GOTCHA!!! GUYS & GALS. These are the folk who have no real convictions, no genuine emotions, practically no knowledge who nevertheless virtually LIVE to find "reasons" to chastise, castigate, counsel and condemn others. They would never bother to try to find any reason or even a rationale to SUPPORT or DEFEND anyone. their orientation to Life appears wholly negative.
DeleteIt's an all-too-common syndrome.
Does it have a name yet? ;-)
Mrs. Grundy Syndrome?
DeleteEgg-ZACK-Lee!!! ;-)
DeletePerhaps they are doing exactly that
ReplyDeleteExpressing their convictions.
As you expressed yours! But they don't see things the bigoted way that you do.
lol!
DeleteSo you have any idea what BIGOT really MEANS?
DeleteObviously, you don't, so I'd advise you to look it up in at least TEN of the 30+ available online dictionaries at alphaDictionary.com
