Comedic or Racist?

I ran across this photo posted on Facebook. I suppose some people might find this funny based of the viral video of Antoine Dodson who, sadly, became famous after an interview following his sister's attempted rape in my home state.

My vote: blatant racism

After Laura Schlessinger's offensive and aggressive radio response to a caller, Sarah Palin's use of the words shackles and reloading, and the divisive fear-mongering that has been led by the Right since the election of President Obama, there is no other way to look at this photo other than blatant racism.

Before posting, I went to CafePress to see what Anti-Obama merchandise was being sold (note: they sell all kinds of merchandise, including Pro-Obama merchandise). I haven't forgotten there were Anti-Bush bumper stickers too; yet, many of these were quite shocking in their vitriol.

Comedic or Racist?
