heeere we go



so, i know it was only a matter of time before people brought out the chicken and watermelon, but what makes this one so absurd is that these people are saying it's not racist--here we have barack surrounded by chicken, ribs, watermelon, and kool aid (red, of course) on a food stamp, but the person who made it has her family members saying it's not racist. 'who says those are negative african american stereotypes?' they stutter 'i mean, *i* like chicken' sputters the woman's daughter. the daughter even goes so far to say that her mother can't be racist because she's married to a mexican. since this is the second time in two weeks i've heard something like this stated, let me clarify for the ignorants out there--you can be racist and discriminatory against black people and no one else. i don't know if it's better or worse to be an 'equal opportunity racist' but the point is, you don't have to be--you can be selectively racist.
this is just one more thing adding fuel to the fire of racism burning across this country in regard to this election--at least she's not threatening his life. . .yet.
i'm so nervous for him. . .i might even join this lawsuit. lol
