That's kind of almost like being racist, isn't it?!

[JetGirl]

That's what a stranger said to me when I got a text from one of my friends.

Several in my contact list are cop types and I have different I.D. tones for each (so I know who's texting/calling without looking). Like one is a short siren wail. One is that "BEE-doo-BEE-doo" sound. One gets the "COPS" theme ("♪♪Bad Boys Bad Boys, Whatcha gonna do...♪"), and so on.

My best shooter pal range buddy has an I.D. that goes "Whoop Whooooop" (really quick and cuts off, like if you're getting lit up to be pulled over).
As a text asking me to go shootin' Friday arrived to my phone, someone nearby said (regarding the tone), "That's different... someone in trouble?!? hahaha."
I said, "Nah, that's just one of the sounds I have for a LEO friend." And I kid you not, they said, "That's kind of almost like being racist, isn't it?!"

Seriously.

We're gonna have to get a lot smarter if we don't plan to fail horribly in a couple years. The other side is way smarter than us and successful with their message.

The party who asked you if it was racist is only slightly more racist for asking than you are for having the ringtone in the first place.

Here to help.

My son's ring tone for his mom is the song Star Wars plays when Darth Vader is on the screen, the one he has for me is Homer Simpson talking. I would say he has us both figured out

Sometimes when my daughter calls or texts, it's actually her boyfriend or one of her other friends. Her ringtone is the theme to "The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly". People who know, laugh.

My ringtone for my long time riding buddy is " Dirty White Boy" by Foreigner. How racist I must be!!

OK. I have this figured out. I believe PC was saying that the person who asked "is it racist?" needs to be slapped by that dog, who is a female.......

AMIRIGHT?

The fact that it's by (a) foreigner is +1 PC culture point. The "Dirty White Boy" part subtracts one point so it's a wash. You're all good.

Maybe if the ringtone was Al Sharpton saying "hands up don't shoot" followed by maniacal laughter. That might be in questionable taste given the current witch-hunt climate...?

Ya just gotta stop talking to people whose IQ and shoe size are the same number...

This is the same one I have for my son. I love it when he calls and I am around people.

I have one that yells out "@$$hole calling". That one is assigned to one special person. Went off in the middle of a meeting once when I forgot to turn off the sound.

I'll have to remember that one.

Some people have just lost all common sense

 

[CathyInBlue]

Wouldn't that be pigist? Maybe porkist? Oh! I know, baconist.

I'm not so sure of that any more. The other side has been very successful for a long time, but it seems (at least to me) that the ruse is coming to an end. Lately the progressives have had a hard time playing the stealth game and have resorted to public demonstrations of Full Potato which is reaching fewer and fewer folks. I think Jetgirl's experience is a good example. The Race Card is fast becoming so overplayed that even the strongest devotees are having WTF moments. For example, some silly Prog college down south just announced a ban on Hoop Skirts because they were worn during the slavery era and may be considered racist. Even hard line lefties are shaking their heads. I think the other side has lost control of their message and morphed into a 5 headed hydra of embarrassment to them. Hell, even MSNBC is seeing the light and supposedly is going to shift right in effort to climb out of the cable news commode rating cellar they are in.
