If you think these racist images are bad – wait – it gets much worse once Barack Obama becomes the Democratic nominee for the presidency.
If you don’t have thick skin you’d better toughen up. Racism is alive and well – especially here in Georgia. We can’t avoid the imagery that’s about to be unleashed upon us and the Constitution gives racists the rights to express their hate.
We can rail against it and gnash our teeth but that only fuels their hate and validates their beliefs.
The best response is no response. They are not going to change their ways.
Thanks to loyal readers 2bme, SpaceyG and Dayz2enjoy for the pics!
I understand the shock value of it all..it’s there to make you think..to get you up off your ass and do something either negative or positive depending on how these pictures move you..however i’m just tired of it..there are other ways to get your point across..although this right here is the most surefire..it’s becoming redundant
How timely Sandra. I had a convo this morning with my boyfriend about the N* word. Anything you do to retaliate will prove how much of a n* you are to them. The best defense is not to have one.
I’m not even shocked, all I can say is wow!
and they can eat their hearts out because he is infact the next president of the USA.
Soto all the haters and racist folk who think your evoking
fear or anger out of us/me.
Thanks for playing…you are the weakest link goodbye!
this is not shocking at all. sad, but not shocking.
well sandra i guess you said it all!
if you`re not tough then just avoid seeing stuff like this
but i think these guys want the attention, alot of people are lonely in this country…lol
These pictures give us the wake up call that racism is alive. I just had to explain to my son that he was black. He is 6 and we never discuss race at home he automatically thought anyone with a light skin town was white and everyone else was black. His father is multi-racial so he is on the lighter side. It was until a kid at school told him he couldn’t invite him to his party that the questions came up. The little bot told my son my mommy likes black people but my daddy doesn’t. My son said I’m not black then came home and asked me. I am a firm believer that racism is taught.
I’m not shocked either.
Go OBAMA!
^^bump that I say show up to the party and bring the hood with you..if he wants a reason not to like black folks i’m sure Bonquisha and Junebug can give him plenty! The mother is a fool to put up with it and if the father doesn’t like his children’s classmates take his ass to Utah and have him homeschooled instead of instilling racism and ignorance on an innocent child
Ok who is the random black guy with the so called klansmen? I find these images and racist/prejudiced acts and statements laughable. I mean when you spend so much time focused on someone else, that’s less time devoted to yourself and your growth innit?
@ Shunda
My son had the same issue I was really surprised when he started saying he was white. He said daddy is black, me, mommie and sister are white. My husband is chocalate but he wasn’t given away no color genes so both the kids are more my complexion.
I also remember my sister when she was little she’s chocalate also. She use to say she was pepper and I was salt, she was chocalate and I was vanilla.
Kids know colors like they do a Crayola box.
This is very dissapointing. No matter how much we as a people achive we will be nothing more than inferior. I honestly believe that Obama will be the next president of the United States….not because he is a black man and I as a black woman can appreciate and be proud of my brother being in that position. I believe this because he is a man of the people and I in my heart of hearts feel he as well as his family are good people. It makes no sense to become angry at these images because they are ignorant. We have to be the strong race that we undoubtedly are and stand up for a better nation. Not just for “us” but for everyone.
@2bme. My ex-husband went off he was like oh so he likes one part of me and not the other. My kids go to a school where there a probably 10 black kids in kdg-8th grade. The public schools in our area are awful so I have a double edge sword with schools. The funny thing about it is the mother looks like a complete pushover. If I went and got some hood chicks from Cleveland he would be tied to a tree somewhere.
@miamore73
my niece says chocolate and banilla lol. Poor baby has speech issues.
You are right Shunda, it is taught….as much as that little boy wanted to invite his school buddy (your son) to his party, he couldn’t, b/c his dad…how sad…
People need to realize how much they affect their kids with that shyt….well, at least the little boy has a good chance of being a non racist…his mother….
Shunda,that completely burns me up..i’ve dealt with racism from whites where they have come up and asked me flat out”what am I”, not believing that both my parents are indeed black..focusing solely on who my grandparents and great grandparents were.. white guys in school putting their arms next to mine talking shyt because i’m lighter than them..I am very vocal about learning black history, at the time I was in high school they were leaning towards the course as an elective, I was one of the students who made certain my voice was heard to get this as a part of the curriculum elective or not..a white teacher pulled me to the side and advised me it shouldn’t matter because I could pass and my life would be better that way..i’ve also been to predominately white schools and being the only person of color invited to a party because I was light enough to make them forget I was truly black..so when i hear crap like this it takes everything in me not to find the imbecile and literally try my damndest to smack sense into them..luckily for me i was always instilled pride in who I was..I never associated myself with being white no matter how light i was..my mother made ceratin I knew every rainbow of my family and that we were all one
Sandra – you couldn’t be more right! That is THEIR ignorance – why dignigy it with a response.
Oops – dignify! My internal spellcheck is off
GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ladies and gentlemen, please arm your children about the ingnorances they will face as minorities as soon as they can put together sentences. Don’t wait until (s)he is 6 years old to talk to about race. We still have not arrived at a time where race and ethnicities don’t matter. There are still sickos that delight in reminding children that they are “different”.
No you don’t have to break it down to the letter, but a general discussion will prepare them for the ingnoramuses they are sure to face in everyday life.
My daughter is bi-racial and when she was 2 she announced to anyone who would listen that her “Daddy is black her Mommy is white, and she is an ice cream sandwich”
Words and pictures only have the power that YOU give them.

Awww, that is too cute!!
Baravk in 08!!!
He is winning and I am standing right beside him hoping that this world will recognize that we can be united and not divided!!!
I am going to pose this question, not to make people mad but I really need to understand. I wasnt’ born in the US, I was born & raised in Canada as a biracial child, my mother being black and father white. Growing up I was never put in a position where I had to defend or label myself or compare my “blackness” or “whiteness” to anyone, my mom always did a good job of raising both myself and my brother to love both sides of ourselves, she educated us on both sides our heritage (she is Guyanese, father is english). However since moving to the U.S. i’ve felt quite a bit of disdain and animosity from people in the African American community. Specifically females assuming because Im mixed that i think I’m better than them or make little comments under thier breath, mind you they’ve never had a conversation with me or know me at all. I don’t have the same experience with white people here in America. Could someone please educate me on why the animosity I’ve experienced has been mostly from the African American community. I know it goes back to Jim Crow, slavery, etc, etc but at what point does it end? Please help me understand.
Peace & Blessings
WELL I AGREE WITH SANDRA ON THIS ONE THEY HAVE HAD TO MUCH POWER OVER US AND OUR EMOTIONS WITH THIS RACE THING I SAY SCREW EM’ REALLY WHO CARES WHAT THEY THINK IF YOU IGNORE SOMEONE IT ONLY MAKES THEM MAD, MY KIDS GO TO A PREDOMINANTLY WHITE SCHOOL AND THEY HAD STARTED COMPLAINING ABOUT RACE ISSUES AND SOME OF MY FRIENDS\PEOPLE WERE LIKE YOU NEED TO TAKE THEM OUT OF THAT SCHOOL, BUT I TOLD MY KIDS OVER A LONG DISCUSSION THAT BASICALLY TO MAKE THIS SHORT, YOU WILL NOT ONLY DEAL WITH THIS NOW BUT ALL THROUGH YOUR LIFE SO YOUR JUST GETTING EQUIPPED EARLY ON, MY KIDS ARE GETTING A WAY BETTER EDUCATION THEIR AND I LIKE THE SCHOOL ITS NOT EVERYBODY BUT I WOULDN’T NOT PULL THEM OUT CUZ RUNNING IS NOT THE THING TO DO IT EXISTS AND THERES NO REASON TO HIDE IT FROM THEM LET THEM NOW THAT THAT CAN NOT STOP THEM IN LIFE, THEY CAN BE WHATEVER AND DO WHATEVER, IGNORANCE CAN NOT AND WILL NOT STOP THEM NOR OUR RACE WE ARE OUR OWN ENEMIES!
@DIZZ OR IS IT YOU?
@toosexy
What do you mean is it me?
And why did it not surprise me that that would be the response I’d get…smh
I may be black, I may even be ugly be dear god OBAMA is here!!
@DIZZ I JUST MEANT WHICH IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE HARD TO EXPLAIN BUT BY YOUR STATEMENTS I WONDER ARE YOU ASSUMING TO MUCH WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT SOMEBODY ELSE WOULD THINK YOUR BETTER THAN THEM CUZ YOUR MIXED, WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO THAT CONCLUSION DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY, MAYBE YOU HAD SOME UNDERLINING ISSUES THAT YOU DIDN’T THINK YOU HAD , BECAUSE MAYBE THEY TALKING ABOUT YOUR OUTFIT OR YOUR SHOES, WHY WOULD YOU THINK IT WOULD BE ABOUT YOU BEING MIXED, JUST A THOUGHT
@DIZZ SEE WHAT IM SAYING WHY WOULD YOU BE SUPRISED AT MY QUESTION? HOW DID YOU TAKE IT?
@ DIZZ
I grew up in a multi cultural family and friends, certain states, especially in south do not let you forget what the color of your skin is and thats wether its white, black or polka dots.
The fact that we have a man like Obama trying to unite everyone together, and actually attempting to make change happen is killing the racists. The most you can do is love your self and culture and treat everyone as you would want to be treated.
Not surprised…I exactly expected much worst. Racist fools are the most ignorant, idiotic people ever…
Just yesterday at work I overheard a White man at my job referring to Blacks as “you people”…then had the audacity to turn around and ask for my assistance. Of course, I told him why he would want help from “us people”…oh yes racism is very much alive and well.
Well .. my white Director just told me I have “good hair” .. and I asked her point blank what the Hail is Good Hair … she said .. I was Lucky .. I got bouncy soft hair like hers … I then said ..Well ..it’s because some of YALL couldn’t resist swinging in MY family’s DNA Gene pool … Yall .. she Actually had the audacity to ask me … if I thought the raping during slavery was real … Chile .. I just walked out of her office shakin my head …
Wow this is crazy & shameful that in this day & time we still have to deal with ignorance such as this, those pics are or were a waste of time I refuse to feed into stuff like that anymore cause I can see myself fuc***g somebody up for real(lol) & please tell me that is not suppose to be Michelle(First Lady) in that first pic!!! & the dude sitting with the Klan don’t even know he probably next on there list!! Obama is the man & they know it so they hating (lmao) NEXT!!
A bunch of backwood, uneducated, hicks celebrating being ignorant…Michelle Obama is a highly Harvard, Princeton educated black woman and I’m very proud of her, that’s why I refuse t let these pictures get to me…When a white persons power is threatened especially by a black person they’re like wild animals, you’ll see the true savage beast of racism come out..They truly fear an articulate person of color who can appeal to the masses..I agrre, we should take the high road and let their ignorance shine before the world.
GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!
I just noticed in one of the pictures one of the kkk members has a republican elephant on his robe, interesting.
