RICHMOND, Va. - The NAACP (web | news) says it's planning to protest a mural depicting President Barack Obama (web | news | bio) as the Joker from Batman on the side of a Richmond strip club.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People says its state conference, Virginia Commonwealth and Virginia Union college chapters plan to hold a news conference at noon Monday at 15th and Main in Richmond to express their outrage.
The organization says it will address the community's reaction to the mural and ongoing racial hostility.

I live in Richmond! Think I’ll get some pictures!
I think the mural is called free speech.
They need to be asked why a “non-partisan” organization such as the NAACP would protest what is clearly political speech.
“The organization says it will address the community’s reaction to the mural and ongoing racial hostility”
...the joker was white!
If you do please post them for all of us.
Man, this must really hit very close to the truth,
or you wouldn’t hear the howls of protest from the usual suspects.
Let’s see -
the socialism part, check.
loose cannon, check.
sinister, check.
not what he appears to be, check.
just wants to watch the world burn, check.
more?
This is just to funny for words. I got a shirt with the same picture on it. Wear it everywhere.
I hope we don’t see any of that political violence nancy was talking about.
No worse than the depiction of G.W. Bush as a chimp and more accurate.
GTH NAACP and take the ACLU with you.
You mean like at the G20?
Oh, no, Nancy would NEVER condemn, or even NOTICE, leftist violence...
BECAUSE IT SERVES HER PURPOSES.
Notice that leftists NEVER condemn or even notice immoral or illegal behavior [cough ACORN cough] when it advances their goals.
You haven’t seen “outrage” yet. Just wait until the Medicare folks have their benefits slashed and find out that they now are waiting in line with 40,000,000+ newly “insured” for half the available doctors, the other half having retired because they don’t want to practice under BO’s socialism.
Now THAT will be outrage!
Telling the truth about a leftist, leftist policies or leftist demographic groups is (by my observation) inherently racist.
Come on! He was honored this past week with his very own card in the deck of UN Playing Cards. This has nothing to do with racism but honoring an icon of our time.
Is it racist to portray a black person as an evil white man?
What? The NAAColoredPeople does not like the extra colors?
