The racist Mexicans burned American flag in recent soccer game, and afterward selling this stamp full of racism. Meanwhile, ACLU continues to criticize the border patrol and not the racism in Mexico.

BWA HA HA! Oh this is good. This after Jackson went down there and probably got paid off after that last episode with Vincenti and blacks..I guess Jesse will get paid off again.

"In our country, the image of black people is one of enormous goodwill, which is reflected not only in characters like Memin Pinguin, but in popular songs ... like 'Little Black Watermelon,'" a song about an unruly little black boy.


Oh boy.

I have emailed the Mexican Consulate. I want to buy some to use like Nice Day, Happy Face, etc. stickers if cheap enough.

[MoralSense]

Got a picture of the danged thing?

[RebelBanker]

Just when I thought that the story could not get any funnier... "Little Black Watermelon."

LOL!!

[inkling]

Two groups of race hustlers trying to "out-victim" each other. Pass the popcorn; this could be fun.

[spyderbarque]

Damned If I Know

[ncountylee]

try ebay, athough most uncheap.

Thanks.

I think these activists will turn these stamps into a collector's item.

"....Memin Pinguin's name combines a monicker for "Guillermo," or "William," and a slang form of an adjective meaning "mischievous".

Sounds kinda like Spanish for "Slick Willie".

"I ain't gonna play Mexico City."

[BenLurkin]

Unbelievable in this day and age.

It is almost as if the Mexican government wants a race war.

And in other news today, the NBA has reached a new labor agreement between the owners and the players and they’ve agreed on a minimum age of 19 for the players. You must now be 19 years old to play in the NBA. I guess they feel that 18-year olds aren’t ready to become illegitimate fathers yet.

[Mexico] views the criticism as expressions of ignorance and disrespect for Mexican culture, spokesman Ruben Aguilar said.

Ruben, it wasn't that reprehensible stamp that caused my disrespect for your "Mexican culture".

[aspiring.hillbilly]

Lighten up, its only a cartoon... and we cant control maaheekoo, can we ?

[inkling]

But Aguilar said Friday critics have "a lack of knowledge about Mexican culture and about Mexican comics. This comic helped this country become less racist and made the population more sympathetic to people of color."

Oh yes, no racism in Mexico. Unless you're Indian. Or mestizo. Or any other color darker than beige. No racism at all!

"It's the United States, not Mexico, that has a history of slavery,"

::spraying Coke on my monitor::: Excuse me?! Do they print history books in Mexico? Do we need to recount the horrific abuse of slaves in Latin America? Gads, these people are crazy.

It will be interesting if these routine Fox faux-pas turn Jackson, Sharpton, et al, against illegal immigration. Strange bedfellows, indeed.
