I remember them calling Regan's economic policies as "Voodoo economics" but if people said that about any of Obama's policies, it would be racist to you.
You do know who coined the term "voodoo economics", right?

Ironically, this is from the Grio web site which is only about Blacks. The Grio User Panel picture contains only black people. The drop down menu under the Health option includes links for "Black Men's Health" and another for Black Women. Maybe you want to get rid of your phony racism and try some reality on The Grio which is obviously racist.
And their complaints are made even more ridiculous by the fact that it's not even an African being depicted, but a Papuan. Not even the same continent or race. They are so eager to cry about racism, but they can't even get the race right. It would be like someone showing a picture of a Tibetan and then the libs responding by whining that they are making fun of Mexicans.

Think about it. Witch doctor, bone in nose. Both considers stereotypes about Blacks. President Obama is Black. How can you argue that this isn't about race?

Tea party continues to embrace racism.



Obama witch doctor t-shirts a big hit at Tea Party convention | theGrio
Is anyone surprised? To most conservatives a man such as President Obama isn't even an American citizen and is not a legitimate person to run this nation.

American conservatives long for an America where a man like President Obama could never be elected.

For conservatives the election and re-election of President Obama is terrifying.

Racist or not, that's pretty damn sad.

But whatever. From that crowd, you get pretty much what you expect.

I saw an Obama witch doctor pic a few years ago. Thought it was funny, since Obamacare was being talked about at the time. Others did to. Not one immediately thought "racist!!!!"

Find something better to do with your time. It isnt racist. You liberals and people like Sharpton and Jackson have completely ruined the race card. It use to actually mean something serious, it no longer does.
Lol... so you saw something racist and didn't immediately know it was racist... Are you denying that it was racist or saying that people should accept that you're slow on the pick up?

Being slow to understand things isn't an excuse.

The shirt is at best tacky and yeah, probably meets a reasonable definition of racism.

However, the OP is using "several people" to try to define a huge group of people much like some racist would start a thread about 4 black kids robbing someone as proof that all blacks are blah blah blah.

From the OP: If you see 3-4 people doing something bad, you can make inferences about the rest of their political, ethnic etc. group based upon that sample size.

Beat me to it. "Several people" at a convention means as few as 3. Making a judgement on the whole gathering based on the shirts 3 people wore is ridiculous. There were several rapes at Occupy rallies; does that mean that Occupy would have been taken more seriously if they weren't all a bunch of rapists?
