This Texan takes bumper stickers to a whole new level.
A photo of a truck with Texas tags that features on the tailgate one the most racist decals, complete with a real (and fresh) banana, that targets President Barack Obama was posted to Reddit on Thursday.
"Does this Socialist a** make my truck look too big," the decal, which appears to be professionally done, reads. It also includes photo of Obama dressed in Somalian garb from a 2006 meeting in the country.
The image was taken in the East Texas town of Tyler at the intersection of Loop 323 and Highway 155 and posted by Reddit user bluchunks.
It is hard to say what's most (or least) impressive about this Texan's use of racism to scream his or her political views at anyone on the road, and now anyone on the Internet.
1) The truck owner's self-censoring of what is presumably the word "ass," but could be "ape," as one Reddit user points out in comments of the post.
"Glad that he censored the word 'ass' otherwise that would have been pretty offensive," one Reddit user noted.
2) The truck owner's proud display of his or her presumed alma mater Stephen F. Austin, although it's a little hard to believe someone who graduated from college would go to these lengths.
"Oh great I went to the same college as this guy...Axe'em Jacks!" another user commented.
3) The use of a prop, in this case banana, to drive home the racist primate reference. Also worth noting is the freshness of the banana. Does this person really buy fresh bananas every few days to update his tailgate?
"Is the banana a racist joke or just for scale?" one Reddit commenter asked.
Now, it didn't have the banana when I saw it - maybe that's a Tyler-area thing.
“What’s racist about it?”
Juste callin’ a spade a spade as I see it! Good for him. Free speech is still free speech in Texas, except for maybe in Austin and Houston.
“——knows the difference betweem “Y’all” and “Alls Y’all”.”
OK,I give up.
What IS the difference.?
.
A guy once told me how upset he was at that picture because it was telling people there’s no such thing as hell.
But apparently you CAN still worry about getting the photo taken and having it plastered and commented on officially as a blurb in some “journalist’s” column, and have other Socialist Texans pile on.
Oh, OK. Thanks!
Free speech is free speech..................even if you don’t like it.......................
Me too. I’m aleays amazed how naive and innocent I really have been. I had no idea this banana might be racist, OR homo-hatist.
I think it is lame to have the banana, it does not make sense here at all.
Y’all is singular, All Y’all is plural.
You could have learned an overwhelming source of information if you had Rick Casey as a mentor.
LOL
This decal theme has been around at least since 2012, and I think since 2008 election. First truck I saw like this was from Maine.
Cafe Press, Amazon, Zazzle; they’re everywhere.
I didn’t know bananas were racists. Hard to keep up.
Thanks for posting the pic, I needed a laugh.
Especially if you don't like it. One of the more cogent things I remember Ted Koppel saying during the Nightline days was that free speech was never intended for popular opinions. They're already protected by virtue of being popular.
The truth hurts.... Especially to those that just can’t handle the truth and live the life of delusional liberalism.
The Truth is now Racist.
Liberal panties are collectively bunching over this one!
Thanks. :-)

Um, the banana, maybe?
Without the banana, the message is perfectly appropriate...
