Stop The Madness: A Store Is Selling A Shirt Depicting Barack Obama As A Monkey

obama

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.

    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.

    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..

  9. hhhhh Says:

    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?

    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.
