Republican Lynches Empty Chair in Racist Presidential Effigy in Northwest Austin

[CosmicCowboy]

Question. Everyone keeps saying Obama's father was black, but technically wasn't he dark skinned Arabic? Do you consider that to be the same as African? I know the Arabs don't consider it to be the same.

[Jacob1983]

Everything


If you talk about Barry's half blackness, you have to acknowledge his half whiteness too. Equality, brah.

But seriously, I just laugh at people when they throw the black label on Obama. It's like "well that's what he looks like so that's what he is". Who cares that his mom was white right? Calling Obama black is on the same level as saying that he is a radical African Muslim that is going to take away your Bible and guns.

[DarrinS]

if Obama were fully white he'd automatically qualify for victimhood in DarrinS's scheme of political correctness, but his biracial heritage brands him indelibly as a member of the black oppressor class.

Lol @ you guys trying to push this on me.

I'm merely pointing out that effigies of politicians are nothing new -- and not even unique to American politicians.

But hath no fury like a butthurt Obamabot scorned.

EDIT> The last comment not aimed at you, WH.

Just goes to show what the rabid hate for Obama among neocons is REALLY driven by, tbh.... if it was really about policies, they'd have been supporting Ron Paul instead of Willard, Newt, Frothy, or Bachmann, tbh.....

What would the racists in 1600-1960's America have considered it?

[Clipper Nation]

Ah, the ol' "there isn't any racism anymore (except reverse racism)" gambit.

Ugh... the phrase "reverse racism" is a pet peeve of mine, tbh.... white is just as much a race as any other race, and racism against white people is just plain old racism....

You said half black. You must have meant something by that. Don't try to back out of it you racist coward.

[Clipper Nation]

Wasn't Obama raised by white people pretty much most of his childhood?

How exactly does that change his skin color and ethnicity?

[Clipper Nation]

I would find those shirts respulsive no matter whose name was on them

Oh please.... if they said "PELOSI IS A Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Lu ck_The_Fakers_" instead, you'd be on here crying about freedom of speech tbh....

[Jacob1983]

If you say Obama is black, you're not being factually accurate. Isn't the more correct term "biracial"?

[Edward]

Is it racist and ignorant for people to ignore Obama's half whiteness? Isn't that basically a you to his mom and her parents that basically helped raise Barry?

pretending you give two s about Obama's mom

[DarrinS]

Ha ha.

No, but you reinforced it.
