A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
Obama doesn’t need any enemies.
Sigh
Sigh
Sigh
Thanks to rdxtion in the Sunday Open Thread who dropped this hat tip.
It’s unreal to me that nearly all the BS coming against Obama during this campaign season….HAS COME FROM SO-CALLED FRIENDLY SOURCES.
This isn’t the NATIONAL REVIEW.
This is THE NEW YORKER.
What bothers me?
I dunno. Take your pic.
Bin Laden above the fireplace
The American Flag in the fireplace.
Obama in ‘Muslim’ Garb.
Michelle – with an Angela Davis Afro, and a Black Panther Machine gun.
Good lord, how many goddamn Obama smears can be placed in one picture frame?
I can hear the clicks now(copying and pasting of the picture), being sent in emails, all across the country.
UPDATE: I’m going to co-sign with these two comments on this pic…

I’m trying really hard to find the humor folks…but as a person of color..this shit ain’t funny.carolinagirl:
…………..but the artist is emphasizing all the stereotypical physical traits of black women as well. I’m not sure how to take it. Well…. okay it’s bullshi……..
AMEN to the both of you.
UPDATE TWO:
This is a reply I made on another blog when someone commented that it was ‘satire’:
I’m going to be brutal right now.
THEY AIN’T WHITE.
THEY AIN’T WHITE.
You CANNOT pull this satire-oh-so-smart cover bullshit with BLACK PEOPLE.
What the fuck is wrong with The New Yorker.
This is INSANE.
I don’t know what country they live in, but I live in A-merry-ca.
And this racist drivel isn’t funny.
The email address for The New Yorker.
themail@newyorker.com
FINAL UPDATE for the night:
Don’t wanna hear no drivel about the 1st Amendment.
Racist tripe is racist tripe.
Man up, New Yorker Magazine, and admit that its racist tripe.
Apologize to Senator and Mrs. Obama.
