Really?

In California, a Republican group said it intended no racial overtone when its October newsletter depicted a fake food stamp bearing a likeness of Obama's head on a donkey's body surrounded by fried chicken, watermelon and other images evoking insulting stereotypes about African-Americans.

Right.

"The latest incident occurred on Monday when the body of bear cub was found on the campus of Western Carolina University in North Carolina. Obama campaign signs were placed around the dead animal's head. School officials said it was a prank."

Just a prank?!?!

I think Erik makes an excellent point when he told me "Who DOESN'T like Fried Chicken?"

White supremacists.

Wait, fried chicken and watermelon are racist now? WTF?

I might as well just give in and start blasting the word nigger all over the place, since it seems like I'm going to be taken as racist no matter what the fuck I do.

"Wait, fried chicken and watermelon are racist now?"

Um, they've been part of black stereotypes for decades...

[ilcylic]

But... what's the stereotype supposed to be?

"Black people are lazy" is a stereotype, and a derogatory one at that.

"Black people eat fried chicken"... I'm lost. I eat fried chicken. Almost everyone I know who isn't a vegetarian eats fried chicken. And while I tend to think of watermelons more as cheap reactive targets, they also taste good.

That's just retarded. You might as well say "Black people wear clothes!" is a stereotype. "Damn! What is up with those clothes wearing niggers?" I mean seriously, I just can't even type it without laughing out loud.

You're trying to get into the heads of white supremacists utilizing logic?

It's German! It reads "Thee, Nigger, Thee!"
