it's quite obvious that the minority and sterotypical opinions are portrayed loudly
You just did the exact same thing, sans photo.
I'm not saying you're being racist, but you said that by posting the photo, it was equal to the original intent. Sorry Pat, but I gotta call hypocrite here.
i wasn't being a hypocrite, i was presenting an analogy? sometimes i don't know what you smoke. calling me a hypocrite there is a lot like the people who call me a hypocrite in life because i'm a christian ecologist.
I guess my point is what's wrong with eating cornbread, watermelon, and staring at white girls asses? It is a racist statement, analogy or not, and really wasn't necessary, imo. Unfortunately, more people believe that stereotype than believe Obama is Hitler. I also believe the original picture you think was generalizing is a much more accurate representation of the silliness surrounding a good portion of the conservative base than you want to give it credit for. Socialist, not a citizen, class warfare creator, Muslim, the list goes on. I've followed politics a long time, and I know both parties play dirty, but it's very true that they vilify this man for things which are clearly untrue. A large amount of their base is fueled by this as well. I really don't think you can even dispute that. Now if you're saying it's stupid pictures like that which propagate this nonsense, then we are in agreement, but you're barking up the wrong tree complaining when a liberal posts the picture. Go after the douchebags who support this bullshit.
If you really want to know what I smoke, PM me, and I'll point you in the right direction. Also, it's ok if you do things your religion deems wrong. It's the norm really.
Oh ya, I want to clarify that those claims are false:
Socialist: I currently pay taxes for schools for which I have no children attending(for the common good). If that's socialist, then we were there long before "OBAMACARE"-no, I meant national healthcare.
Not a citizen: google fake birth certificate.
class warfare creator: Check the tax rates from before Bush. Apparently we had class warfare then, too.
Muslim: Maybe he just stumbled into the wrong building, where they preach un-American sentiments.
If you think it's only 'fringe elements' doing this shit, then you need to watch more tv.
