New Years Day featured Elizabeth Warren going live on Instagram in order to build her brand. Warren has announced her 2020 Candidacy for the office of President.
The camera shot featured her kitchen as she drank a beer, the better to seem more relatable to middle-class voters.
Sharp-eyed netizens deconstructed the appearance of her kitchen background, however, and turned up the type of ceramic figurine that would immediately doom a Conservative candidate.
No word yet from Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton.
Yesterday I heard (on radio) it was a “black Sambo”.
I hadn’t given any of it more than a passing notice but I certainly didn’t hear about it on Fakebook or MSN.
The color of the paint in the close-up photo does not match the paint in the video. What gives, gaijin?
Underground Railroad communication tool[edit]
Charles L. Blockson,[2] Curator Emeritus of the Afro-American Collection at Temple University in Philadelphia and author of Hippocrene Guide to the Underground Railroad, claims that the figures were used in the days of the Underground Railroad to guide escaping slaves to freedom: “Green ribbons were tied to the arms of the statue to indicate safety; red ribbons meant to keep going ... People who don’t know the history of the jockey have feelings of humiliation and anger when they see the statue ...”[3].
Blockson installed an example of the statue at the entrance to Temple University’s Sullivan Hall.
Patterns of and markings on the clothing of the statues also are said to have indicated messages understood by fleeing slaves. Blockson’s claim to the contemporary use of color in signalling is substantiated by the Congressional 1848 act [4] which resulted in standardizing red and green colors for channel marker buoys.
probably some native american pottery. like a wedding vase.
She has not disavowed. Thus, she is a racist.
Hate tell you, but the movies’ “enlarge and enhance” thing is greatly hyped. There’s no way the blurry shelf image could be enhanced into the comparison photo. The comparison photo is meant so you can compare one ceramic to the next. It is not a clarification of the first image.
Black people aren’t allowed to complain, because she’s a Democrat. Them’s the rules.
Laws! Dat is funny!
The figure does not look the same, but it’s still funny.
I like watermelon too!
lol
It's hard to tell exactly because of the angle, but it may not be the same knickknack or thingamabob.
Aunt Jemima ping.
Damn offensive watermelons!
The point is why would something like this be used to destroy a Conservative, and when are we gonna knock this BS off?
It looks like they turned it around, and the back side is showing.
Hmm... No Dad.
Those are NOT the same.
.
Probably not, but it sure was funny for a minute.
Hi, Robert -
I believe the figurine on the top of the cabinet is female in shape. Haven’t a clue as to why they have a male figurine showing in the article.
It’s not just the hair is different, there is a massive difference in the positions of the hands and what is being held.
LOL
