This Isn't Racist??


Apparently there is a debate going on on whether or not this image is racist. Personally I don't see the argument against it. Black people were considered un-evolved uncivilized apes/monkeys for centuries and treated horrifically because of the notion. So depicting a prominent black politician as a "curious little monkey" would in essence be a throwback race move. NO?! Discuss...

like you can't seriously tell me the offense didn't cross the dudes mind when he was designing and printing the shirt, of course he knew what it would do...sigh.

I kind of see what's happening though. There may be some people doing stuff like this to try and get an angry reaction from black folk so it may cause a division in the election. Then white ppl can see "you see, look at those angry & uncontrollable black ppl" then Obama loses. The best thing is to not let this kind of stuff get to us, it may be just a trap that we(black folk) need to sidestep.
