Stop The Madness: A Store Is Selling A Shirt Depicting Barack Obama As A Monkey
Norman, who began selling the shirts in late April, has said they are not meant to be racist. He said he thinks the Illinois senator and the character “look so much alike.”
“He can pretend he doesn’t understand what the message of that T-shirt is, but he knows full well that’s an offensive and demeaning stereotype used to insult African-Americans,” Nigut said. He called on citizens not to buy the T-shirts, but stopped short of calling for a boycott of Norman’s business or denying him to speak out.
This fool has the nerve to say it is not racist, they just look alike. Not surprised by this at all, I expect more racist antics in the near future.

yo they can do whata fuck they want, but a fact remains, the new president of USA will be Obama, no matter what they (racist ) do.
co-sign number 1. White ppl, why are you so backward?
lol really come that guy cnt be serious saying this aint racist in not surprised either im mean if he wanted a character that looks lik him he should hav used kirmit the frog or somthan well this is jus small dose of peoples ignorance that will b seen in the near future
I love this Obama shit more than anything man. Better than any playoff series, rap beef, anticipated album… everything! Its getting close for him to fuck up their candidate so co-sign RTNY there is more like this to come.
Ironic thing is if that looks like Obama then its some young black niggas lookin at him and getting ready to monkey see monkey do. Him running and (in my opinion) winning gonna open the flood gates for any young nigga that wanna be a lawyer/go into politics as a career path.
whoever made those tees need to get they ass beat
A bittter, “Typical White” made this Tee shirt!!
All I can say is fear breeds ignorance!! Stay focus and don’t let their racist ways stop what we as a people are trying to do. ELECT Obama!!
A bitter, “Typical White” made this Tee shirt!!
All I can say is fear breeds ignorance!! Stay focus and don’t let their racist ways stop what we as a people are trying to do. ELECT Obama!!
blackgirl:
so basically you’re saying that the “typical white” is racist?
is’nt that racist? or is it ok for you to say that since you’re white, but we cant say the same thing about black people…
once again “realtalkny” turns everything into a race-discussion…
appearantly a shirt by some no-name hillbilly is much more serious than anything else..
seriously getting tired of this retard “realtalkny”.. do your job and run a hiphop-blog and stop acting like you’re a fucking revolutionary..
Correction:
or is it ok for you to say that since you’re BLACK*
STOP THE MADNESS:
Some 90% of the victims of race crimes are Whites.
Blacks murder Whites at 18 times the rate Whites murder Blacks.
About 1 million Whites were murdered, robbed, assaulted, or raped by Blacks in 1992.
Blacks commit 7.5 times more violent interracial crimes than Whites, although they comprise only one-seventh of the White population.
is a t-shirt by some redneck bigger news than this?
hhhhh shut up!
o: racist!
Man this is totally innocent blacks always pulling out the race card on every given oppertunity yall are lame no one gives a fuck
am I the only one that who think that picture looks more like george bush when he gives that blank(I’m lost)stare on his face when he is asked a tough question? The irony of (SOME)white folks to see it the other way. If u don’t see racial implication in this u are naive.
hhhhh
it is racist for “black girl” to say that all whites are typically racist, but for u to try and act like real talk made this into a race issue is ridiculous.seeing this shirt doesn’t surprise me because it was only a matter of time as barack gets closer to his goal, but it still shouldnt take place
and this aint the only thing “rtny” posts besides hip hop,take a second and think
“the fox and the sound”:
i just dont really see how this is major news, or even worthy news.. this is just RTNY trying (as usual) to ’cause yet another race-discussion..
.. i mean… who the fuck is “norman”?
“a Georgia bar owner”..
i would definatly understand RTNY if it was some major company selling these t-shirts or whatever, but a random hillbilly georgia bar owner? who gives a fuck, really?
that white boy knew what he was doin, he from fuckin marietta georgia, i used to live in decatur, they got some oooooolllldddddddd country racist out there in marietta,
but i thought curious george was the george bush look alike
he fits the pic and the name, curious
cuz george bush dont know shit about shit anyway
and to (hhhhh) or whatever
are u saying rtny should ignore this, he gives us news that some of us wouldnt have heard or seen anywhere else. so thank u rtny cuz if u aint show it, i never woulda seen it
rtny (the peoples blog)
ignorant people…
Black Power+Brown Pride= Revolution
Fuck Crackas
#8 (hhhhh) RTNY didnt turn this into a race topic. Its a fuckin monkey on the front of a shirt that supposedly resembles the first realistic black presidential candidate in the country. This aint a Eminem and Jay-z topic that turned racist.
Not that it matters but you gotta be white. White people are the most hesitant to talk about race for some reason. I mean I understand it. Its a black eye for the country and everyone agrees that it was wrong. But not talking about something doesnt make it go away. When Obama wins its gonna be more discussions about race so start getting use to it now.
Co-sign #16, this is the peoples blog lol and dude is from fuckin Georgia where some people are still openly racist. What racist people don’t realize is its not socially exceptable to be openly racist anymore. You cant spray niggas with firehoses, use words like nigger or not allow us in certain schools anymore. You gotta hide that shit like most of them do, say nigger in the privacy of your own home with your monkey tee’s on.
pounce:
it’s still just a small thing.. its a fucking retarded hillbilly doing some stupid stuff, nobody should give a fuck really..
if rtny gonna post small stuff like this i also hope he posts about racism against latinos, arabs, asians or whatever.. or even at whites..
nobody here would give a fuck if the same dude sold racist t-shirts about some asian..
racism goes on everyday, and not just towards black people, but appearantly this dude rtny only care about racism towards blacks, i have’nt seen a single article about racism towards latinos or arabs for example..
hhhh: start your own blogsite then..
& start with my racist name..
yes i’m white
This isnt about race first, its about the election first then race. When Latino’s, Arabs, or Asians have a presidential candidate and some hillbilly tries to sale a shirt with them on the front working on a rice boat, or flying a plane in a building or selling oranges by the freeway or doing anything to slander their character based on stereotypes then RTNY can post it.
Now do we as black people have a fixation with race and playing the race card… yes! But going through slavery will do that to you as people. That lack of trust is handed down over the course of generations. Just like racism (especially in the south) is handed down over generations.
The couple jewish people I know talk about the Holocaust all the time and they are in their early 20’s like me. My point is, you sound like you want people to forget a major part of history just because white people fucked up during that period. Its not happening, little shit like this is no longer gonna be over looked. Dude got local media coverage, only reason we heard about it because of the internet and you tube.
LMAO I think thats hilarious. But he should have put George Bush’s name underneath that picture cause that’s obviously Curious George.
lets bomb these faggot cunts
