This whole thing should be a non-issue...but in a society where a woman can sue for millions because she spilled a cup of hot coffee in her lap and then claimed she "didn't know" it was going to be hot, let's face it: anything goes and the sky's the limit.
don't these bozos have anything useful they could be doing?
Doesn't the NAACP have a right to express their opinion in the matter? Would a white christian who finds something offense on a greeting card be allowed to protest it as well?
If a “middle eastern” looking guy was on a flight headed to New York and stood up and said something to the effect “ I have got a _ _mb (a word that sounded like bomb)”. I can guarantee you that most people on that plane will initially fear that he said he has a bomb.
People are CONDITIONED what to believe. Every action produces a reaction. Terrorism conditions fear. Racism conditions fears. You cannot go over 300 years as an overtly racist nation and not expect black people not to be conditioned, as a human reaction, to see racism in certain behavior and or motives of whites, when it can or does potentially negatively impact blacks people. A nation that planted and tilled racism should not be surprised by what it harvests. The harviest is a DIRECT RESULT of what was planted.

Shouldn't there actually BE something to take offense to???
Oh man. Must've been a reeeeally slow day in the world of race relations. Stuff like this threatens to keep the NAACP perpetually on the margins of relevance.
You know i am sorry, but People and certain Organizations, make a something out of absoutely nothing, i am so sick of this kind. Can't they mind their own damn business, always trying to stir some kind of attention. This is just ridiculous. A "hallmark card" come on now, how crazy is this.
Soooo....if you rob a bank with a authentic looking toy gun.....have you committed armed robbery in the eyes of the law? ITs obvious to the robber that it is a toy gun....but its not obvious to the victim. That is analogous to saying something that SOUNDS racist, but is not, to black people. You cannot allow things to be said that SOUND racist...even though they are not. To black people...thats a REAL GUN...to a lot of us.
I have liked those two funny characters for years, I don't assume the company has really put such vulgar words into their mouths, it wouldn't fit in with all the other cards featuring them.

Wow!!! You are REALLY trying to twist some sort of logic from this stupidity...
It might be easier in the end to just admit the people in the OP are idiots.
