Obama For Breakfast
I got this picture from a blog written by Professor Tracy at Aunt Jemima’s Revenge. She already did great job writing about it so I will just link to her words so she can explain it. Somewhere in New Orleans a "concern citizen" would probably love to make a product like this for Ray Nagin. This is how people get divided.
Among the *many* things I don't get about this whole reaction to Obama is the inability of some people to say "I don't agree with him and wouldn't vote for him, but as a conservative, he is the epitome of every success we expect people to achieve in their lives."
Instead we get him as Aunt Jemima...produced by people who haven't managed to accomplish 1/100 of what he has done.
Why is that people who come up with these kind of ideas never "intend" for it to be a racist statement? Surely if they take a little time to think about it, they would see the other side. And I'm sure they thought deeply before making the investment....

And, yeah, I agree with you about Nagin.
I'll jump in too - good point about Nagin.

Um...looks like Lou Dobbs from CNN bought a box and posed for a photo with the entrepreneur. Jeez.
