Racist "Obama Bucks"
So I was watching the news a while ago, and I've been wanting to blog about this for a while but I've just been so busy. Although I'm a little late now I still just wanna comment about this.
This picture was sent out in a newsletter to members of a Republican Women's group in Calfornia. I know this picture is a little bury but its basically a $10 food stamp with Barack Obama's face on it. On the "Obama Buck" he is surrounded by a bucket of fried chicken, watermelon, ribs, and Kool-Aid.
The president of the group who is responsible for circulating this newsletter claims there was nothing racist about what she sent out!! ARE YOU kidding me?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? It doesn't take a genius to see that this "Obama Buck" plays on Black stereotypes and is meant to be blatantly racist!!! Smh... its a shame.
