Hallmark Graduation Card Racist?
The NAACP has filed a complaint with Hallmark, saying that one of their sound enabled graduation cards uses the phrase “black whores”. Hallmark has now pulled the card from shelves. After watching the video and listening to the audio on the card, what do you think? [Ed. note: Ugh.]

The card says “black holes”. We actually bought this same card for my brother's graduation, and until now, I never thought it said anything BUT that. But of course, people have to get all whiny about it and call something so trivial racist. Grow up people.

They need to get over it.

oh, naacp. you're making yourself look bad. “laughing at blackness” is also kind of my new favorite thing.

I swear, people need to quit pulling the damn race card. I heard black HOLE not black Whore…Besides…only reason black people hear black whore is because they throw the letter R into everything where it doesn't belong…ie: fruneral, compruter..etc. Get a life NAACP! And I'm not racist, I hate everyone equally! :)

Wow…way to stretch nothing into something. Maybe we just need to PC things a little more and rename black holes so we aren't “laughing and making fun of blackness” when referring to a freakin' region of space! This is sad.

Seriously, anyone who doesn't have racially-tuned (or crappy) hearing can CLEARLY hear they are saving “black holes.” This is a ridiculous publicity stunt to flex their hate muscles and play the 'poor us' card for attention. This is the exact kind of thing that works against the real racism that needs to be addressed. You soft, crying babies need to grow up and deal with little things you think you heard so you can deal with the very real things (Arizona) staring you in the face.

…how? how dumb, and attention seeking can you be? i actually picked this card up in a store, and thought it was adorable, and wished that i knew somone who was graduating, so i could get it, there wasnt anything inappropriate about it. i didnt hear anything resembling an r in that phrase.. jeez. you know, i hope its still in the store i saw it at, because i want to hear it again, just to make sure.

It's obviously “holes” I did not hear an “R”. This makes no sense and angers me. The people that are turning things into racial problems are conveniently the ones who are offended as well. NAACP, why don't you spend your resources on something much more important? Like here in Milwaukee, a high school graduation was cut short because people turned into radicals poppin' and lockin' on stage, the principal couldn't control them and the arena was evacuated. Maybe spend some time with the children and not with your face shoved in a greeting card trying to create your own problems.

Honestly, I thought it said black holes. I didn't hear an 'r', nor would I ever connect it to racism until the NAACP brought it up.

Black hole? OMINOUS? What does Paris Hilton's vagina have to do with GRADUATING? (Oh I didn't hear the “watch your back” part, NOW I get it) She should sue.

This particular complaint may be ridiculous, but it wasn't so long ago that Hallmark's casual racism was available in every five and dime in the country.
