You're squad has been whining about having a black POTUS for 8 years now, you'd think you'd have gotten over it by now.

Please don't make him copypasta the list of names people have been calling Obama for the past 8 years.

No not calling out Obama, but calling out Obama because he's black. Those posts I want to see.

I'm pretty sure that insult list had a lot of racially charged names.

Stop right there. I'm sick of you bringing his race into it. Are there some people that dislike/d him because of his race? Absolutely. But for you to make that statement on here is just dumb. His race matters not, other than to those like you that want to make it a factor.

And further, there are many that dislike a white president, or white people, because of the color of the skin.


You make broad, dumb statements, and this is one of them.

Would it be as long as the list of names people called W? And, would their be caricatures included?

you have an ENTIRE political party who literally took to the streets over this man's birth place and certificate, and constantly calling him a muslim. nevermind the constant crap of him and his wife being called apes and monkeys.

yet you got the audacity to post some crap like this?

man get the hell out of here. you're the one making dumb statements. absolutely pathetic.

When Barack Obama became the first African American elected president on Nov. 4, 2008, the world viewed it as a boon to race relations. But after Obama took office, he was the target of racist illustrations, conspiracy theories and Islamophobia. Can you name any of the tactics used to attack him on the basis of race? This analysis covers three blatant acts of racism against Obama.

The Birther Debate

Throughout his presidency, Barack Obama has been dogged by rumors that he’s not an American by birth.

Instead, the “birthers”—as the people spreading this rumor are now known—say that the president was born in Kenya. Although Obama’s mother was a white American, his father was a black Kenyan national. His parents, however, met and married in the United States, which is why the birther conspiracy has been deemed equal parts silly and racist.

The birthers have also refused to accept as valid the documentation provided by Obama that proves he was born in Hawaii. Why is this racist? New York Times columnist Timothy Egan explained that the birther movement “has little to do with reality and everything to do with the strangeness of Obama’s background — especially his race." He continued, "Many Republicans refuse to accept that Obama could come from such an exotic stew and still be ‘American.’ …So, even though the certificate of live birth first made public in 2008 is a legal document that any court would have to recognize, they demanded more.”

When Donald Trump repeated the claims of birthers in April 2011, the president responded by releasing his long form birth certificate.

This move did not completely quiet the rumors about Obama’s origins. But the more documentation the president has released about his birthplace, the less ground the birthers have to suggest that the black president did not belong in office.

Political Caricatures of Obama

Before and after his presidential election, Barack Obama has been depicted as subhuman in graphics, email transmissions and posters.

While turning politicians into caricatures isn't new, the ones used to criticize Obama frequently have racial overtones. The president has been portrayed as a shoeshine man, an Islamic terrorist and a chimp, to name a few. The image of his altered face has been shown on a product called Obama Waffles in the manner of Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben.

The depictions of Obama as ape-like have arguably sparked the most controversy, considering that blacks have been portrayed as monkey-like for centuries to suggest that they’re inferior to other groups. Still, when Marilyn Davenport, an elected official in the Republican Party of Orange County, Calif., circulated an email portraying Obama and his parents as chimps, she initially defended the image as political satire. Mike Luckovich, Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist for the Atlanta Journal Constitution, had a different take. He pointed out to National Public Radio that the image wasn’t a cartoon but Photoshopped.

“And it was crude and it was racist,” he said. “And cartoonists are always sensitive. We want to make people think—we even want to tick people off occasionally, but we don’t want our symbolism to overwhelm our message. …I would never show Obama or an African American as a monkey. That’s just racist. And we know the history of that.”

You do realize the man you elected President got into political discourse by playing up Obama's birth certificate.

Link please.

I could careless what someone somewhere did. You called out Diam and his squad for being racists, show us the posts from this site, not some drivel you found on the internet.

No, and if they had caricatures included, none had racial overtones.

Race is obviously a big issue of the hate directed towards Obama from the republicans.

I didn't call anyone a racist. Stop whining. You had 8 yrs of it already.

Yes you did. Now show us your proof. You do nothing but spew garbage on this site constantly, now prove what you say. Where are these statements?

Yeah, I'll just take my white ass and shut the hell up, because dealing with the likes of the racists on here isn't worth it.

I blasted the last 5 presidents ... u focus on one ... gee .. i wonder why ...

Unlike U .. i'm not a racist ... to me a-holes are a-holes .. they come in all colors, sexes, religions, heights, weights ... feel free to pigeon hole people into any category U like ... for me, only thing i care about is their a-hole level ....

His skin color has nothing to do with it as far as i'm concerned .. its not my fault u can't see past his skin color ..

How's that mirror working? ...

OMG .... Noooooooooo .. the HORROR .... say it ain't so ....

Yo preppie ... the ball ... its over here ... try to follow it ... it bounces ...

This thread got ugly kinda fast. That disappoints me because I do genuinely enjoy these discussions.

I agree. But, my white skinned person doesn't understand.

I don't know what's harder to understand your post or every time you say witch.

Like these disgusting pics of Condoleeza Rice?





There were quite a few more, and these weren't isolated images in obscure media vehicles....they were widely published political cartoons by artists such as Jeff Danziger, Pat Oliphant and Garry Trudeau. So don't even try to insinuate that this is a tactic unique to the Republicans.

You do realize the man who was elected President has been involved in political discourse since you were in diapers right?

Funny how some people get a bit worked up when they are repeatedly called commie loving racists.. imagine that. But I'm sure the NY Times will run an article soon about how the right is ruining political discourse.

From DC's post above:

"Nobody has ever seen a duck pull a truck"



Happy now?

I'd need to see the video, there is no evidence that the truck is actually moving...

Don't want to get called a commie loving racist.

Don't act like a commie loving racist.

It's a fairly easy concept.

What's wrong with being a commie?

Plenty.

Someone liked that post???????

Funny isn't it.

why wouldn't they?

Only people acting like commies are in your head Comrade Swish ... *LOL* ...

Definitely not.

I'm not the one with knee pads on when it comes to Putin.

That's you and the rest of your crew on this board.

I'll always be America first. #NeverRussia

Because DC is one of the most open-minded, fair posters on this board. I don't see him as either a communist or a racist. And I am disappointed in you for saying he is. I think you are better than that, bro.

I could care less about your disappointment in me.

It's a really easy concept to grasp. Don't want to be associated with commies?

Don't freaking praise one. Don't defend one.

Sorry bro but I will always remain America first.

Screw Putin. Screw Russia, screw trump, screw his cabinet members, and screw the people that praise and defend any of them.

If anybody had a problem with that, there's an ignore feature. Team America all day everyday.

If the shoe fits, be like Cinderella and wear that joint. If not, then what does it matter to you?
