This Texan takes bumper stickers to a whole new level.
A photo of a truck with Texas tags that features on the tailgate one the most racist decals, complete with a real (and fresh) banana, that targets President Barack Obama was posted to Reddit on Thursday.
"Does this Socialist a** make my truck look too big," the decal, which appears to be professionally done, reads. It also includes photo of Obama dressed in Somalian garb from a 2006 meeting in the country.
The image was taken in the East Texas town of Tyler at the intersection of Loop 323 and Highway 155 and posted by Reddit user bluchunks.
It is hard to say what's most (or least) impressive about this Texan's use of racism to scream his or her political views at anyone on the road, and now anyone on the Internet.
1) The truck owner's self-censoring of what is presumably the word "ass," but could be "ape," as one Reddit user points out in comments of the post.
"Glad that he censored the word 'ass' otherwise that would have been pretty offensive," one Reddit user noted.
2) The truck owner's proud display of his or her presumed alma mater Stephen F. Austin, although it's a little hard to believe someone who graduated from college would go to these lengths.
"Oh great I went to the same college as this guy...Axe'em Jacks!" another user commented.
3) The use of a prop, in this case banana, to drive home the racist primate reference. Also worth noting is the freshness of the banana. Does this person really buy fresh bananas every few days to update his tailgate?
"Is the banana a racist joke or just for scale?" one Reddit commenter asked.
I’m going to have to call my uncle to see of he has a new pickup, lol.
The banana is not a “primate reference”, it’s a homo reference.
Hereabouts, the “A watermelon on every porch....” bumpersticker featuring Obama’s likeness was fairly common in’08.
Funny!
Any criticism of Our Great and Glorious Beloved Dear Leader, Barack Hussein Soetoro 0dinga Soebarkah 0bama is racist.
By definition.
And you’s racis’, too, ‘cuz you had to axe.
Obola is half white—so what’s racist?
Was the Chiquita Banana Lady racist?
I want a big tailgate decal that says:
OBOLA
Hope you feel the Change
Fact is I may get one of those made.
Might be flattering, A** = ACE
Might be.
Can’t be that he censored the word ape.
Ain’t no one got a problem apes.
Now, being an ass on the other hand....

Oh, for heaven’s sake, it’s not “ape.” It’s based on all those people who ask, “Do these jeans make my @ss look big?” I admit I don’t know what the banana is doing there, though! LOL
I wondered the same thing. Looks about right to me.
They are the ultimate dish-it-out-but-can’t-take-it keyboard kowboys.

Just a full-size version of an old bumper sticker.
I guess this paper really is serious - an article about how some person must be racist. Thought it would be satire.
The replies make me sick, too.
He needs a Banana by his picture...
Love the sticker.
Hate, loathe, despise, and f*rt in the general direction of anyone offended by it.
To those who are offended: Shove your offence up your Obamahole.
