Does this fake journalist Ishaan not realize Obama went to Africa before he seized power in 2009 and dressed in similar garb? Was Obama being racist then?
The Washington Post was looking to get offended....this is akin to showing a man with Scottish heritage in a kilt.....is THAT racist??

He needs muslim headgear and black slaves behind him.

In the pic, Obi-Wan is searching for a nice tender dog to fix up for family dinner. Was that tacist?

I’m sure the NAACP will be all over this one.

If the theme is that Obama’s heritage is African, why should that be considered an insult? Unless you’re a racist....

Agree. What’s the difference with a person of Scottish heritage going to Scotland and wearing a kilt?

Nothing racist about that. But it’s the WAPO so I expect nothing less from them.

The difference is that liberals are closet white supremacists who patronize blacks. Places like Scotland, Ireland, etc., are fair game for satire, but not Africa, because the poor black people need our sympathy..

Somehow it does not surprise me that faced with tangible proof of their own lack of foresight in their markets, that someone is going to feel the need to divert attention away. Exaggerated ethnic differences have long been used to make an argument to a homogeneous group when facts and words won’t do the job.
I would reply that we are all Americans here, and better a guy with a spear eyeing up some zebra, than corrupt central planning with no standards and a bad case of ADHD!

The Chinese can’t be racist since they aren’t Caucasian.

O.K., despite having black stripes themselves, are we supposed to believe the zebras hate Barry because he is half black? I must be missing the “racism” here.
And no apologies to any who deem this post to be a microagression.

That is a racist cartoon. Obama is not and was never a Masai Warrior. Showing Obama as a Masai denegrates the Masai, a brave people. Obama’s a feckless passive aggressive moslemophile corporatist. A more realistic cartoon would show him as an African-arab slave merchant.
