I'm not a troll. I do not like, nor do I get the humour of that sort of thing.

I'm not autistic.

I do not live in North Dakota. I'm possibly naive, but I do not consider myself to be of low intelligence.

That kinda leaves me with closet racist. But really, all I feel I am doing is calling out a double standard. It's hypocritical really...
Sure I can see that the guy who made the image is a dumbass for not thinking to himself "Shit, Michelle is of African descent, so making her look like a monkey might make people think I'm a racist".
I just think it's a pity that people should have to forward think in that manor just because some people make assumptions about their actions.

I mean.. If the guy is saying it's political humour, just like the Bush stuff, then anyone else saying it's racist is just assuming the worst and jumping to that conclusion. If they carry that sort of thing in their own heart and see the worst in others, is that not their own problem?

Perhaps they are judging him by their own standards?

I mean, in English newspapers politicians are sometimes characterised in cartoon images of them as pigs, because of their greed. If they did the same thing to a Jewish politician, is this anti-semetic?


If African-Americans were enslaved, raped and lyched en masse in your country because of the color of their skin, then you better inconveniently "forward think" before comparing a person of said group to a racist term due to their appearance - especially if it's a person who just made history. What's wrong with you? This level of insensitivity definitely beyond naive.

To answer the Jewish question: It depends on the picture. If a religious or cultural symbol like the Star of David is involved, then it's definitely racist. If a non-jewish accomplice is pictured as well, then it most likely isn't. Everything in between will have Jews complaining, but must not be inherently racist. A racist would i.e. make the pig's features look as "Jewish as possible".
