Washington Post Confuses Obama For Malcolm X

In my humble opinion, the Post meant to do this. In no way was this simply an honest mistake. Too many eyes saw this before it went live on the website.
Here’s left wing blog HuffPo’s equally ludicrous caption, which doesn’t make the WashPo’s colossal mixup any better:
Violent black radical Barack Hussein Obama X is learning about wind energy in Iowa, The Washington Post reports in a most unfortunate photo caption error.
It appears Obama and Malcolm X were actually slated for separate stories. The error has since been repaired.
Boy, the national media are having a field day now that they no longer feel the stinging shame of white guilt.
Here is what the WashPo meant to do:

The last guy convicted for Malcolm X’s murder was released recently…
wow… fear… that’s all I have to say…
there is NO way this was a mistake. Editors look over content several times before things go up, and there is no way this went up and the editors didn’t approve of it. this was intentional! What gives it away is that they even included his name in it, not just a pic! I hope the government sue them for libel.
This is just too stoopid to entertain….
I call b.s. They knew exactly what they were doing. Oh, but I won’t dare make this a racial issue.
and Huffington Post is no better
I’m sure they’ll release some crappy apologetic letter trying to mke amends for this ‘mistake’. Oh well the world keeps spinning regardless.
There was a rumor that Bobby Brown died yesterday?
B.S.
I will be soooo damn glad when Freeway Ricky Ross FINALLY hosts this party in Atlanta. I am soooo sick of the advertisement for it. His eyes freak me out and the way he is holding his hand (I’m sure it’s some gang or pimp sign I don’t get since I have never been in a gang or under the direction of a pimp
) is disturbing.
Of course, in Atlanta, and a celebrity is a celebrity so I’m sure the Decatur Flavas, the Marietta Baller Sweaters, the Bankhead
and every other nook and cranny all-star will be out to kick it with the American GangSTAR. Can’t wait for the pictures….or the police reports….
So this is probaly going to sound off color, but considering the time period in which Malcolm X lived I don’t really think its such an insult that people compare Obama to him. X was articulate,intelligent, a bold leader and way before his time. #thispostgetsayawn
