“…I wasn’t inspired to encourage black people to vote against the proposition. Why? Because I don’t see why the right to marry should be a priority for me or other black people.”

I’ve received this graphic via e-mail a couple of times over the past few days. It is kinda cool. But, if the point is to “let the issues be the issue” why is the image making race an issue? Discuss.
They’re heeeere! The morons who just don’t understand that white people shouldn’t smear dark makeup all over their faces and pretend to be black are appearing at a Halloween party near you. Here’s an idiot who dressed up like Michelle Obama.
This happens every year. I don’t know why people just don’t get it. It isn’t funny. It is racist.
However, some people are a bit more clever than others. Here’s a guy who painted his face to look like the Barack Obama “Hope” poster. Is this still blackface? Not really. So, I’ve got to give this guy his props.
I get lots of weird e-mail in response to my blog and my YouTube page. Here’s what I found in my inbox this morning:
Let me make this perfectly clear…
As true white Europeans, we should be very care not to consider those half breed southern europeans into our fold. Italians, Spaniards, and Greeks in particular mixed with the original north africans who were a dark skinned people. White people be aware!!!I get this kind of thing every now and then. I think these racists see my photo and think that my blond hair and green eyes automatically makes me a white supremacist. I’m sure being named “Fritz” doesn’t help much in that regard either.
Let me make this perfectly clear…
…I AM NOT A RACIST!
Here’s a video of a racist McCain supporter who brought a toy monkey with an Obama sticker on it to a rally yesterday.
Does anyone else think this inbred hick looks like Mr. Potato Head? Hum, I wonder if there’s a conspiracy at hand…
There you have it. We have photographic proof that John McCain associates with racist Mr. Potato Heads! I wonder why he hates America so much.
Update: Here’s another video of the racist cracker. Take note of the laughs from the crowd. McCain supporters are racist morons.
In case you missed it, here’s the video of John McCain referring to Barack Obama as “that one” during the debate. If there was any question whether or not McCain is a racist cracker, here’s the proof.
However, this could backfire on McCain. Here’s a selection of bumper stickers that I think would help remind people just what a relic of the past McCain really is:

WTF?! I just read the following article in this morning’s newspaper:
Obama effigy found hanging from Ore. campus tree
By MARY HUDETZ, Associated Press writer
Wed Sep 24, 6:43 PM ETNEWBERG, Ore. - Officials of a small Christian university say a life-size cardboard reproduction of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was hung from a tree on the campus, an act with racial undertones that outraged students and school leaders alike.
[…]
Taped to the cardboard cutout of the black senator from Illinois was a message targeting participants in Act Six, a scholarship program geared toward increasing the number of minority and low-income students at several Christian colleges, mostly in the Northwest…
What outraged me more than this hateful, racist act was that the reporter chose to describe it as “an act with racial undertones” — UNDERTONES!
This is not an act with racial undertones. It is an act with racial OVERTONES! The meaning behind lynching Obama in effigy is implicit and obvious.
I can’t imagine why the Associated Press would choose to play down the obvious racism behind this act.
“Patrick, great article. I agree with you wholeheartedly. Last thing we need is an inexperienced uppity at the helm. As a gay man, I’ve proudly voted GOP my whole life based on their core principles and values, and my partner and I look forward to seeing McCain in the White House 1/20/09.”
