1. In hopes it'll be an epiphany for DU? Let THIS sink in.

This is Obama's inauguration, JimGinPA.

This kind of insulting equalization of "America," leading to a conclusion that American voters have no enlightened group or movement to be part of, is not helpful. Not here.

5. I think he (or she) is trying to point out

white or brown, we're all the same inside.

[Roy Rolling]

19. I didn't get it at first, either

I don't doubt it was shared on Facebook, where issue-based conversations are useless. Pictures and fake news---that's what sells advertising. So, for those who view this, some (like me) don't understand, some fawn over the symbolism, and some just think it's pretentious.

And how can people come together in understanding with three different perceptions?

[Glamrock]

21. Not trying to be a dick here....

But I honestly can't see it any other way..... Seemed pretty clear the msg is we're all the same on the inside. Maybe I'm just not too bright.

[Lulu KC]

56. I must not be either

Really can't see the issue--I'll keep reading but huh?

[JimGinPA]

8. I Don't Know What Your Problem Is

But I think you're looking for a controversy where there isn't one. I've been here 10 years longer than you & was a volunteer for the Obama campaign in both 2008 & 2012, which I reported about extensively here. I'm sure I'm familiar with "enlightened group(s) or movement(s) to be part of".

Your reply is insulting & I'd appreciate it if you'd remove it.

[CurtEastPoint]

12. Hear Hear! That person obviously missed the point of the graphic.

[Hortensis]

31. My problem is defining "Americans" by the worst of us.

My problem is the huge false equalizations of Democrats with Republicans by ascribing their sins to all "Americans."

My problem is the constant denial of goodness and decency by smearing all "Americans."

My problem is that this tactic was employed by our many enemies native and abroad to defeat us in 2016 and that our nation is currently buried under this same message. It's stated a thousand different ways, but the bottom line is that the goodness and competence that make voting Democratic the right choice don't exist. And that America is in decline and no wonder given its people.

That I'm offended personally and for my nation by this insult is not my problem. I resist and reject all these messages, whether deliberately manufactured or just exhaling the toxic miasma spread across the nation.

And I think you should too. You are also an American after all. Did you really need that message?

No problem.

I posted an image that was shared to my feed on FB, as I often do. You reached your own (misguided) conclusion & tried to preach.

I thought the imagery was fairly obvious, we're all the same inside. If that bothered you I guess that's on you.

[Hortensis]

45. it's okay now. Both our messages are here.

We deserve to be proud and need to vote our pride.

[Honeycombe8]

11. I think you're mistaken. Isn't that TRUMP'S inauguration?

(sarcasm)

268 DAYS!!!!

[brush]

14. The OP's meaning came over pretty well but it also went over someone's head.

[Dave Starsky]

2. This will be completely lost on the target audience.

"I don't get it. Humans aren't eggs. STUPID FUCKIN' LIE-BERULS!!"

[dewsgirl]

3. +1

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

4. Youre correct, no yolk.

[malaise]

6. Until they need our organs or

our blood

[marble falls]

9. And it wasn't so long ago .....

In the words of the Army surgeon general, “For reasons not biologically convincing but which are commonly recognized as psychologically important in America, it is not deemed advisable to collect and mix caucasian and [N]egro blood indiscriminately.”

<snip>

After three months of uproar, the military changed their position slightly—instead of refusing black people’s blood outright, they would instead segregate it from the white supply. Meanwhile, they doubled down on the party line, suggesting that all those who disagreed with this policy were undermining the war effort. Letters from thousands of white constituents appeared on the desks of Congressmen, expressing concerns about multiracial transfusions and supporting the separation. Politicians described those against it as “crackpots, Communists, and parlor pinks.”

“In the absence of clear scientific evidence to support their decision, blood segregation appeared to work largely as a way to calm cultural fears of contagion,” writes historian Holly Tucker.

[malaise]

10. The Red Cross was as racists as every other institution

Fugg 'em!

[GulfCoast66]

16. Those things, yes they wanted...

But mainly that just wanted to exploit your labor!

[malaise]

18. and our women and children

Never forget how they raped our women with impunity.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

40. yes... :(. To the massuh, it was just a way to build his stock

portfolio.

😑

[DesertRat]

29. ...

[malaise]

32. Back at you DesertRat

[Hugin]

7. Yup, far too nuanced and subtle for the staybull gheeneeusses.

Who won't get it until it effects them personally and even then will go out yelling, "Because, Obama".

or "But... But... But... Her emails."

[MagickMuffin]

27. With the exception of Scrambled Eggs: then they ARE human brains on DRUGS

Yep, that'll work!!!

[WiseElder]

13. I only buy the brown ones.

I really think they taste better.

[DesertRat]

36. I buy both and honestly can't tell any difference in taste

[Control-Z]

61. I do too.

The ones I buy are brown, free range, no hormones, yada yada. Logically, I'm pretty sure they taste the same. But I swear the brown have a lot more flavor.

[boston bean]

15. Both produced without the input of a man!!

Just adding another wrinkle.

😁

[GulfCoast66]

17. Or a woman...

An extra wrinkle

[MrsCoffee]

49. Yet there was definitely a female involved.

All the rest of the wrinkles.

[GulfCoast66]

50. And no male...

You are correct!

Have a nice day

[ProudLib72]

59. Both in the same frying pan

To add yet another wrinkle.

[apkhgp]

20. Really now...

This is what divides a political party.
Arguments like this over eggs, the inauguration, skin color, and I could go on. If we do not fix these divisions within a political party then the Repuklicans will walk all over us in the elections.

Start becoming UNITED instead of DIVIDED and then We can go a long way.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

41. Thats the downside of being a demographic characterized by intelligence

Individually we’re always trying to out-intellect each other.

[apkhgp]

47. I agree with you on there

It is so disappointing to see that happen to something you care about. That is the kind of thing the Repukelicans do to the whole country, not us.

Our I.Q.'s did not come with an Owner's Manual or any warranty.

[syringis]

22. Hello JimGinPA

I like the symbolism.

[Oneironaut]

23. Race is a social construct and isn't real. Imo, it should be eliminated.

What people are really seeing with "race" is slight genetic variations due to previously isolated populations. However, even white skin is a recent trait (in terms of overall human history). Now that the world is interconnected, as it's becoming less and less common for someone to "look like they came from somewhere," the concept of race as an identifying trait is becoming increasingly archaic.

It isn't real. There's no reason to differentiate or classify by it. I think we should dump the classification of race entirely and shed our national obsession with it.

[plcdude]

25. Well

Said Oneironaut.

[oberliner]

37. Social constructs are real

Countries are social constructs. Family is a social construct.

[TlalocW]

24. Fake News

I do not have a yolk!

[tblue37]

26. Reminds me of the identical skull pictures someone posted here yesterday. nt

[JimGinPA]

39. That Was Me Too

I didn't realize it was a pattern.

[CrispyQ]

28. Wow, I'm dense.

I was trying to figure out what abortion message was being conveyed.

[DesertRat]

30. My friend has hens that lay blue eggs

Very beautiful shells. But still the same on the inside.

When I taught pre-K I would do this demonstration, asking the children to predict what they thought the inside the brown, blue and white eggs looked like and charting the answers before cracking them open. I'd end the lesson by saying, "just like people, our skin looks different from each other, but inside we look the same."

[MLAA]

52. Great lesson 🙂

[eppur_se_muova]

58. You could have made the point more obvious with exploratory surgery, no ? nt

[doc03]

33. You know people pay extra for the brown eggs? nt

[Marthe48]

48. One of my kids lives near D.C. She pays over $5

for a dozen organic, free-range, no antibiotic or hormone brown eggs. When she comes to visit, I get her Kroger's Simple Truth free-range, etc for no more than $2.79/dozen.
My other daughter lives locally and is keeping a flock of chickens, which lay brown eggs. Later this spring, I'll be selling what she doesn't use for $2/doz.
I used to want to eat just store eggs, not for flavor, just because they were distant from their origin But I am over that and will eat any eggs.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

34. If only dismantling systemic oppression were so easy.

[stonecutter357]

35. K&R

[magicarpet]

38. Really.... who friggin broke those egg shells open ?

I am seeing yolks here,
not sweet little cute chicks.

Who is the devil's spawn here ?
They must be an advocate for abortion.
That egg was not carried to full term when the chicks would have pecked their way out of the shell.

Can we holler and scream and stomp our feet about that. This - this - this - RAW NAKED ABORTION.

[handmade34]

42. well to be fair...

(as I gaze out at my coop with the chickens stuck inside because of the snow) it is all about what the hens eat and if they have exposure to sunlight... the yolks are much richer when given opportunity

[Gore1FL]

44. Purina Farms actually had red-yolk and green-yolk eggs on their tours in the 1970s.

They may still--I just haven't been on one since then. I was looking for a picture online and can't find any.

i have no idea what they were feeding them!

[packman]

46. O.K. - I'll start the argument

how do you crack open your soft-boiled egg- big side or pointy side?

?itok=1mNP2yZt



Did you know, people have died fighting for the right to crack their eggs at the end of their own choosing:

"It is computed that eleven thousand persons have at several times suffered death, rather than submit to break their eggs at the smaller end. "

A heart to the first person getting the reference.

[JimGinPA]

53. Fahrenheit 451 Via Gullivers Travels

I cheated with Google though.

[packman]

54. I'll give it to you - but really Gulliver's Travels

[JimGinPA]

57. It Bugged Me Because It Seemed Famiiar

I read both books many years ago, but like I said, I had to Google it. Thanks for the heart, but I still feel like it was cheating.

Your argument was more interesting than the"which came first, the chicken or the egg" argument, since I had eggs for breakfast and chicken for lunch, so...

[PatrickforO]

51. Oh, I get it now!

For sure.

[Marthe48]

55. If you are trying to open someone to

this is a good way to start. Too many people still judge a book by the cover, and a simple illustration like this could open windows, if not doors. I borrowed it for my facebook page.

[ProudLib72]

60. Everyone knows the Cadbury bunny lays the brown eggs

And they are chocolate (hence, better )

[Initech]

62. Left picture: your brain. Right picture: your brain after 6 months of Fox News.

Any questions?
