The Offended Community

Now, there’s a catch-all.

A cartoon drawn by Jerry Holbert, who is from Derry, New Hampshire, showed President Barack Obama brushing his teeth in a bathroom as a man sits in a tub behind and asks the president, "Have you tried the new watermelon flavored toothpaste?"

What have we always said? Even though Liberals always try to paint us Conservatives as racists, it is they who harbor racist sentiments.

They should change the name of their ideology form Progressivism to Projectivism.

As a matter of fact, from now on, that's exactly how I will refer to them.

The man who crossed the border onto The White House grounds is named Omar Gonzalez.

Did the cartoonist depict him wearing a sombrero and eating a taco?

Perhaps a colorful zarape hanging from the shower curtain rod? A 40 oz. bottle of Corona sitting on top of the toilet tank?

Wait. This is starting to sound eerily similar to my own life.

IF they were smart, they would sit the NAALCP in a confrence room, walk in, hand them a copy of the 1st Ammendment and walk out.

how could the cartoonist have been so stupid as to use watermelon flavored toothpaste? Anything else, orange, pineapple, why watermelon? I am hesitant to even say anything about watermelon around a black person.

I’m from Boston and for anyone not in the know liberals, progressives, elitists etc. hate the Boston Herald with a passion.

How anyone on the editorial board could have looked at this cartoon and approved it is beyond explanation. The left sees racism everywhere all the time. Not knowing the stereotype of blacks and watermelon is ridiculous.

The Herald painted a huge target on their back with this one and they look like idiots.

I would start by refusing to acknowledge an organization that still uses the term “Colored People”. IF the NAACP doesn’t know that the term is not PC then they shouldn’t being complaining.

Is it racist for me,just about the whitest person to have ever walked the earth,to admit that I *love* fried chicken *and* watermelon?

Yah,I thought it was.I guess I should send an apology (and a $5,000 "contribution") to the NAACP.
