I’m pretty sure there are worse sentiments floating around parts of the deep South, but this store owner decided to go ahead and make a t-shirt showing Curious George eating a banana with the caption “Obama in 08.” Bold move huh?

Well, I think we need to get used to it. To play devil’s advocate, Bush was depicted as a monkey on many occasions as well but it wasn’t seen as anything more than a joke. However, the country now needs to be more racially conscious! Certain things just won’t fly when you have a minority president. All those restroom jokes that start off “a Jew, a N*gger, and a Sp*c walk into a bar…” will have to be kept strictly to the restroom or to your home.

This t-shirt is an obvious attempt to make money and stir up controversy, but us non-racist people have to pick and choose our battles wisely. There will be LOTS of racial tension following the presidential election, and we can’t jump in uproar at every cornerstore owner’s cheap $5 t-shirt.

Does anyone besides me feel as though church burnings (and the such..) will become a hot topic again this Fall/Winter? We had nooses hung all over the country last year and Obama wasn’t even considered a viable presidential nominee then.

Hilarious clip from Current TV

This is almost better than “go f*** yourself San Diego”

I mean what really could’ve happened that she couldnt control her reaction? Maybe my main man Chuck Scarborough tried to pull a slick move when the cameras went off. lol.

Funny enough, this thing may actually bring about the NEXT BIG THING or GREAT IDEA. Give it a test drive and see how quickly you come up with an ingenius idea!

What is the world coming to? and end?

Random tornados where there are not supposed to be tornados (20+ killed this wknd as twisters swept through the South)….Myanmar with over 100,000 dead…now an earthquake traps 900 students and kills over 8,500 people in China. WHAT is going on!!!

This poster really really really doesn’t want you to forget that Robert Downey Jr. is playing a black man in the feature film. Lol.

This movie should stir up some nice controversy. And great, it’ll come out on DVD just as we are voting in our first black president!

The Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial is supposed to be huge. The site for it is a FOUR-ACRE PLOT, not far from the Jefferson and Lincoln memorials. It’s about time right!?

Water, stone and trees are the primary elements in a design that is inspired by a line in the “I Have A Dream” speech: “With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope.”

“In the original design for the MLK memorial, a bust of King emerges almost organically out of the side of the Stone of Hope. To get to the stone, a visitor would walk through two rocks symbolizing the Mountain of Despair.” (NPR.org)

The new design, shown above, has MLK with his arms crossed. The organization that approves everything built on the National Mall, The US Fine Arts Commission, says that the new statue has changed MLK’s character from “meditative” to “confrontational.”

I’m not really sure what exactly they want him to look like. Maybe they want him smiling and holding an American flag or something. The man FOUGHT against prejudice and inequality, he FOUGHT against the supression of freedom and rights….why would you want him to look as though he was just another man and NOT someone who OPPOSED the direction in which the US was headed? I don’t know.

Plus, the sculptor is a Chinese man. One would think he has no bias towards an aggressive MLK over a timid MLK.

I don’t think he should look angry, but I dont think he should be smiling either. I like this new design the way it is.

I think it’s only right for any sane mother or father to beat their kids. In today’s world, kids think they run sh*t. Frankly, they’re maturing way younger than we did. When I was seven years old, I was only allowed to use pencils to write. This seven year old claims that he stole his grandma’s Durango because he wanted to do “hoodrat” things with his friends. He’s actually quite composed for someone who just ran over two mailboxes, hit a few cars, and crashed into a road sign.

After all that, he said his punishment shouldnt be too much…maybe “no video games for a weekend.” LMAO!
