re: #52 Iron Fist

Fist? I doesn’t matter what it is— it’s got the POTUS—and African American POTUS- with a bone through his nose. It’s a negative stereotypical image.

It would be as bad if you had photoshopped BHO’s image on a Cream of Wheat or Uncle Ben’s box. It was mean to be insulting by using a stereotype image.

As I said in an earlier thread, I don’t like the term “racist” because I think it is too broad and over used. It might have had some meaning, but like “fascist”, its original meaning has been diluted. I did not rush to condemn the photo above as “racist” ( though I decried it, its use and the person who published it) as, frankly, I am no longer certain as to the meaning of the word, or if it in fact has any real meaning.

But, this stupid image perpetuates a negative stereotype. The person who made it has a bigoted, prejudiced image of the POTUS and thought playing this game was funny. It isn’t and these people are in our own damn party. And, NO—just because the POTUS might play the race card does not mean we can, too. First, it won’t work. Second, we have to be better than that.

I am not an advocate of shooting the wounded, but if this Dr. and others don’t see the harm they’re doing, then the GOP has no hope in hell of appealing to minority voters.
