Ok - for those too dense to see it.

The idea being portrayed here is that Obama is a primative.

Primative medicine.

From a primative culture.

And in case you missed the last 200 years of human history, the whole idea of seeing “primatives” as inferior to Europeans powered a lot of institutions, including -

1) slavery
2) colonialization
3) the Nazis

among others.

In the last 30 years, most of the world sees such ideas as offensive. Yet there are people who are members of these races who will scream that those who are not of their race still think that way.

That thinking drives several modern instituions -

1) Universities
2) The Democratic party (and its capacity to raise money)
3) The self-iscrediting-yet-large leftist blogosphere.

Those who think this is an innocent picture really don’t undertsand how they appear to be resurecting the first set of institutions which simply hands more power to the second set of institutions.

Oh - and it is offensive.

Just wanted to repost this wonderful comment from Karmic.
