| Racist Obama T-Shirt Protest - 87 sec Marietta bar owner Mike Norman says the T-shirts he's peddling, featuring a look-a-like of cartoon chimp Curious George peeling a banana, with "Obama in '08" underneath, are not meant to offend.
Norman acknowledged the imagery's Jim Crow roots but said he sees nothing wrong with depicting a prominent African-American as a monkey.
"We're not living in the (19)40's," he said. "Look at him . . . the hairline, the ears — he looks just like Curious George."
About a dozen prostestors rallied against the shirts Tuesday afternoon, condemning them as racist and asking Norman, longtime proprietor of Mulligan's Bar and Grill on Roswell Street, to stop selling them.
Marietta native Pam Lindley, 47, joined the protest after reading about the controversy online.
"I don't want people to think this is what Marietta is all about," she added, motioning towards the tavern. "This is what some people think the South is still like. Marietta's come a long way but I guess it's still got a little ways to go."
She said she'd like to see the city ban Norman's provocative musings regularly posted on a sign out front of the bar, which is near Marietta's downtown square. The loosely formed coalition of civil rights activists who gathered Tuesday say they will continue their campaign against Norman's "hate speech."
But his defenders are just as resolute. Mulligan's is a refuge, they say, in an otherwise hypersensitive world. Here, smoking isn't only allowed, it's expected.
"This place is a diamond in the rough," said Gene McKinley, a Woodstock engineer. "People here are genuine and honest. It's the one place I can go without having to worry if I'm offending someone."
Norman said he's been he's been fielding calls throughout the day about his T-shirts, which he began selling in late April. "One guy in New Jersey wanted me to send him 100 shirts," said Norman, 63.
He said he noted physical similarities between the Democratic front runner and the cartoon monkey while watching a Curious George movie with his grandchildren.
Someone — "probably a customer, I don't know" — from Arkansas sent him the shirts, Norman says. He has no plans to mass market them.
Not that's he's bowing to pressure. The Tennessee native figures he's providing a public service of sorts, reminding people they have a right to offend.
"This is my marketing tool," he said. Auteur : Aquaflyer Tags: marietta bar mike norman t-shirt shirts barack obama curious george monkey mulligan's themaximspatriot thesilentmaxim  |

| Racist attack in Norfolk Virginia - 124 sec While CNN, New York Times was focusing on the Jena 6, who by the way, attacked a white student who did not hang that infamous noose, a poor 13 year kid was beat up by a mob of black youths, because he was white.
No other media outlets covered this, because they don't want to see that racist attacks can be black on white instead. CNN and other media outlets only want to sell people the story of the Jena 6, meanwhile this kid was beaten up for being the wrong color in the neighborhood.
I guess there really is "no justice".

| Flight of the Conchords Ep 7 'Albi the Racist Dragon' - 157 sec In the Marmalade forest (forest), between
the make believe trees, in a
cottage cheese cottage! Lives
Albie, (Albie,) Albie, (Albie,) Albie the
Racist Dragon - Part Six... And so
all of the villagers chased Albie
the racist dragon, into a very cold and very
scary cave. It was so dark and so
scary there that Albie began to
cry. Dragon tears, which as we all
know turn into jellybeans! Just
then, he felt a tiny hand on
his tail, and he turned around and who
should it be, but the badly burned
Albanian boy from the day before.
What are you doing? I thought I
killed you!
Grumbled Albie, quite racistly...
No...no! Albie, you didn't kill me
with your dragon flames. I crawled
to safety, but I was left very badly
disfigured...
Laughed the boy.
Why are you crying, Albie?
Well, all the villagers chased me into
this scary cave. I think it's
because I'm soooo racist...get your
hand off my tail. You'll make it
dirty.
They didn't chase you here because of
your racism. They chased me here
too when I became all disfigured
like this. They just don't like us
because... because we're different
to them.
And at that Albie cried a single
tear which turned into a jellybean
all the colors of the rainbow! And
suddenly...Albie wasn't racist
anymore!!!
So they sat in the cave (the cave), and ate
bubblegum pie (yum) Albie the
racist, (Albie the racist,)
Albie the racist
(well, not anymore) dragon.

| "OMG, Resident Evil 5 is Racist!" - 201 sec *** PLEASE READ BEFORE VIEWING: Apparently this video was flagged by a user not long after it was uploaded.
To whoever wants to flag this video, or thinks this video should be flagged, you either must think I posted this video just to bash black people without watching the entire video which is totally idiotic...
...Or you watched the whole thing and still found the game or video to be racist, and must have no concept of the word "satire". Thinking this game is racist is racism in itself you douchebags. Racism applies to all races, not just black people. If you honestly think shooting hundreds of Spaniards in the face in Resident Evil 4 is any better than this, you're a dumbass.
