Racial Bullying: Billboard "Controversial," "Racist" Because It Mocks Miserable Failure of a President
Racial bullying. That's what this is. I think that term sums things up properly, and "racial bullying" should take its place next to "racism" in the lexicon.
Here is the news clip covering the "controversy." A parade of mostly-black neighbors demand it be taken down.
Why? Is it a rule that the president shall not be mocked? Of course not. Bush was depicted as a chimp so many times that simply searching for "chimp" on google images brings up the Bush/Chimp photoshops starting on page 2.
You don't have to search "Bush Chimp." Chimp will do it. (In fairness, now Obama has a monkey photoshop soon after.)
So what could account for this insistence that the president, suddenly, cannot be mocked?
Only one thing: His race. Which we are to "respect." And by showing "respect" to him, we show it to blacks as a general matter.
But this is bullshit. No one ever claimed that Bush could not be mocked or else it would be "disrespectful" towards the white race.
A special, additional level of "respect" for blacks is demanded, and should be refused. We are, in terms of our rights and privileges, perfectly equal, and any effort to bully others into putting one race above others (and hence putting other races further down on the list) should not just be resisted, but repudiated as anti-American.
The caricature of Obama here is not racist it at all. There is no age-old stereotype that "black people wear diapers into late middle age and cry like babies." There is no racial slur terming black people "Pampers."
It is simply disrespectful. And it is all Americans' right to be disrespectful towards our employee, especially when he is a stuttering cluster***k of a miserable failure.
Even if he is black.
And efforts to bully others into affording any member of any race additional, special, race-contingent privileges, with consequent special race-based forbiddances for others, is racial bullying.
Hello? Hi, this is the Race Card Bank. You've overdrafted your account, I'm afraid. Yes, I know it happens. Just letting you know, you're overdrawn. No, no problem, just you have to stop using the Card for a while. Thanks for understanding.
