Emotions run high at a protest over a banner that depicts President Obama as the Joker from Batman. Some call it racist and disrespectful. Others say race has nothing to do with the issue.
The image is stirring up quite a bit of controversy. You can see the large sign is displayed outside of Club Velvet, a gentlemen's club in Richmond.
The banner led to a protest by the NAACP. The organization says the image is not only an attack on the president, but on all men and people of African descent.
"The presence of a black president that has African blood is very troublesome to many in this country," said King Salim Halfani. "They can no longer hide their prejudices."
Not everyone agrees. Some who showed up here say the sign is a reflection of outrage by the American people who are unhappy with President Obama.
"I don't think it's racial at all. I think the administration is a joke and that's the theme behind the picture," said Frank Singleton.
The owner of the club did issue a statement, which in part says, "Anyone who believes this banner is racist is an ignoramus. And just because the president is part black doesn't mean he can't be criticized."
The NAACP says it will continue to express its displeasure with the sign until it comes down.
I past the point of being mad at these idiots. Now I just laugh at them.
A Presidency about nothing.
Of course they’re going to play the race card.
It’s all they have and all they’ve ever had.
Dammit !!! He ain`t even black !
His momma was white for f***s sake.
What`s the matter with these kooks.
You start reading this and you would think the banner got unfurled outside an NAACP meeting.
Ohh, there's an incentive. Keep it up for eternity. Maybe they will even boycott a house of ill-repute.
Where is the racial element in this?
SHHHHHHH! They are trying not to notice. LOL

I saw a picture of it. It’s not that big. And it’s not that he’s half black. It’s his policies that scare me.
Am I mistaken or this was a racist protest?
For some reason, that sentence brings this image to mind:
>>”The presence of a black president that has African blood is very troublesome to many in this country,”<<
Gosh, we’d love to do the same to a sitting white president doing the things he’s doing. But we don’t have one. We work with what we got.
Calling this racist is absurd.
and the Joker’s White too!
Ummmmm, the Joker Poster was drawn by a LIBERAL. Maybe the NAACP can get Sen. Byrd to help them talk to the liberal who did the poster - or they can pray to Obama...
Are they protesting within the gentlemens club?
If so, that may have contributed to their desire to continue the “Oh boycott”
Facts dont fit in with a Liberal perspective.
I feel I should go to said strip club, just to show my support for the owner’s first amendment rights.
The race-hustlers have no legs to stand on here. Or least not any more legs than they’d have with any random criticism of Obama. The image has nothing to do with black people. It is adapted from the villain in the most recent Batman film, who was white. So they can’t even claim the wide, red smile has something to do with black people eating watermelons, or whatever. The white guy had a wide, red smile, too, and it wasn’t racist then.
