RICHMOND, Va. - The NAACP (web | news) says it's planning to protest a mural depicting President Barack Obama (web | news | bio) as the Joker from Batman on the side of a Richmond strip club.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People says its state conference, Virginia Commonwealth and Virginia Union college chapters plan to hold a news conference at noon Monday at 15th and Main in Richmond to express their outrage.
The organization says it will address the community's reaction to the mural and ongoing racial hostility.

I live in Richmond! Think I’ll get some pictures!
I think the mural is called free speech.
They need to be asked why a “non-partisan” organization such as the NAACP would protest what is clearly political speech.
“The organization says it will address the community’s reaction to the mural and ongoing racial hostility”
...the joker was white!
If you do please post them for all of us.
Man, this must really hit very close to the truth,
or you wouldn’t hear the howls of protest from the usual suspects.
Let’s see -
the socialism part, check.
loose cannon, check.
sinister, check.
not what he appears to be, check.
just wants to watch the world burn, check.
more?
This is just to funny for words. I got a shirt with the same picture on it. Wear it everywhere.
I hope we don’t see any of that political violence nancy was talking about.
No worse than the depiction of G.W. Bush as a chimp and more accurate.
GTH NAACP and take the ACLU with you.
You mean like at the G20?
Oh, no, Nancy would NEVER condemn, or even NOTICE, leftist violence...
BECAUSE IT SERVES HER PURPOSES.
Notice that leftists NEVER condemn or even notice immoral or illegal behavior [cough ACORN cough] when it advances their goals.
You haven’t seen “outrage” yet. Just wait until the Medicare folks have their benefits slashed and find out that they now are waiting in line with 40,000,000+ newly “insured” for half the available doctors, the other half having retired because they don’t want to practice under BO’s socialism.
Now THAT will be outrage!
Telling the truth about a leftist, leftist policies or leftist demographic groups is (by my observation) inherently racist.
Come on! He was honored this past week with his very own card in the deck of UN Playing Cards. This has nothing to do with racism but honoring an icon of our time.
Is it racist to portray a black person as an evil white man?
What? The NAAColoredPeople does not like the extra colors?
I have that on my cell phone so I guess I’m a racist also...
At the UN,
Ghadafi went so far as to call him “Son”, and Chavez asked that he be president for life.
Today's benefits already pay only a fraction of what docs and hospitals bill (they bill higher for this reason). Further cuts make utterly no sense.
We need an investigation to determine why so many black folks see racism where there is none. You know, have a TRULY open discussion about race to asshats like Eric Holder won’t think people are cowards about race.
Careful what you ask for, race pimps.
Birds of a feather!
It's true that his patter is just as substantial, serious, and believable as that of "Mr. Interlocutor."
A black man waving a “Bush is Hitler” sign is free speech, but a strip club with an Obama-as-Joker mural is racism?
I’m just trying to complete the second volume in my “Definitions of Racism” set. Available just in time for Christmas.
Whitey.
No investigation needed: They use racism to shut down any argument so they never have to have an intellectual conversation or debate and they also use it to get free stuff and bully others.
Yet again...the race card played by those with an interest in maintaining the entitlement society by means of the politics of victimization.
This mural is clearly political speech. It has nothing to do with the fact that 0bama is half black, or half white. It has everything to do with his socialist pogroms and his hatred of personal freedoms in a free society.
So is Zero! Well...half of him is. Seems like he always forgets about that half of his heritage unless it's to talk about his single mother sacrificing to raise him..grrr.
Including the racial hostility coming from their side?
From Oscar Brand’s “Three Prominent Bastards”!
The Banker, The Broker and The Washington Joker.
yup on all points there.
Ohhhh yeah, these guys. These same idiots who turned a blind eye when a Richmond city councilman instigated some of his constituents to burn and deface a large hanging portrait of Robert E. Lee on the Richmond floodwall. The same guys who continually agitate for the statues of Lee, Davis, Stuart, Jackson, and Maury on Monument Avenue to be torn down (but not the one of Arthur Ashe). Those guys.

I think they are protesting because it depicts him with a white face. RACISTS!!!!
NAACLP = just another hate whitey organization
“Colored people”? We still have colored people in this country? Whoodda thunkit?
I'd put those Post-It notes everywhere I went. Hm?...
* On the gas pump
* on the Mountain Dew button on the soda dispense
* on various products as I made my way through the supermarket
* In restrooms
* on the dollar bills I left for tip
* on car windows as I made my way to and from any store
Oh...The possibilities are endless!
“have a TRULY open discussion about race”
Indeed!!!
The first topic of the discussion should be the often ignored and extremely high rates of black on white crime statistics.
I’d like to start seeing a Pelosi version. It could not be called racist and she is a good symbol to go after as the congressional elections draw nearer. Also I’d like to see the subtitle with the image:FREE SPEECH.
Yup, you understand. Now bonus round: Depicting Pres. GW Bush as a money- is that racist? No, because he is white. Also, depicting Condolessa Rice as 'Aunt Jemimah' isn't racist either, becuause she works for a Republican.
It's only racist if you critize a Democrat and he happens to be black. Black Democrats can never be wrong - or you are a racist.
“Knock, knock”
“Who’s there?”
“Kenya”
“Kenya who?
“Kenya show us your birth certificate?”
;^)
Notice that the left always likes to put some sort of “unassailable victims” forth as their spokespeople.
It’s “sniping from cover”, because refuting what the spokesman says is attacking that victim class in some way.
It just demonstrates the indefensibility of leftist policies.
Although the article doesn’t mention it, the club they’re talking about is Club Velvet (not that I’ve been there). On 4/15 at Richmond’s Tea Party, the owner of the aforementioned club made several trips around the block in one of his trucks in support of the cause. The owner is a known dirtbag and was arrested lasty year for hiring underage dancers. To the owner, I say... no thanks buddy, we don’t need people like you supporting our cause.
Post it please. Let’s see what the fuss is about.
Did this group protest the bar pin-up of then VP candidate Sarah Palin? I can’t remember was she nude or just scantily clad?
ROFLOL!
They burn churches don’t they? I’d increase the insurance.
Imagine the outrage if they had colored (if you will excuse the term) him Black instead of his natural Tan.
