AP Mis-identifies Random Black Dude As Obama
Blogolution.com ^ | 11/12/04 | Me

Posted on 11/12/2004 9:20:50 AM PST by Callahan

Hey, the tin-foilers at Democratic Underground are loonier than Teresa Heinz on an acid bender, but they can be funny, especially when they catch the AP mis-identifying some random black dude as their Democratic savior, Barak Obama. That prompted a hilarious thread of "all black folks look alike to the AP" posts. My favorite:

Barak Obama wows the Senate with his basketball abilities.

136. You are absolutely right. I guess sometimes people need a wakeup call as to how their intentions may not match the message that is received. Again, I am sorry. The last thing I would want is to further perpetuate racism in our country.

I have tears in my eyes! They even admit to GETTING the point of the thread (to ridicule AP, NOT to ridicule black people), and they're apologizing to black people anyway! As though photos of black people, by themselves, are somehow offensive! AY AY AY!!! (My apologies to Cubans.)

Vice-President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) wipes his eyes during a victory address by President Bush (news - web sites) at the Ronald Reagan (news - web sites) Building in Washington, DC on Wednesday, Nov. 3, 2004. At left is Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge. At rear center is U.S. Trade Representative Robert Zoelick talking with Secretary of the Treasury John Snow.

How do you get a half-obscured Treasury Sec. right and mis-identify Don Rumsfeld as the Vice-President of the United States?

Great stuff. One DU poster is not amused:
Either stop making jokes at the expense of African Americans or have this posted at Free Republic!
