I had ask you a question, and you evidently did not notice it; so I will ask again;
Julius, do you think that Obama's movements, swinging his arms, his hair line, and his ears resemple Curious George?
Thsnks
RC
I saw it, I answered it but lightshineon saw it before you did and justifiably scolded me in her post 397 for being too harsh. I re-read it, determine she was right, so I deleted it. I'm refuse to take your bait, preacher. Go fishing somewhere else.

The fact that you are asking this obnoxious question simply demonstrates how ignorant you are as to racist stereotypes.
But then again, this is coming from the same person who called black people "negroids" on this same thread.
He wants someone to call him a racist. Then he can claim victory.

Why would you think that is an obnoxious question?
And black folks are of the negroid race, just as white folks are of the caucasian race,
Why would calling someone by their proper race designation be racist.
And I would never refer to Obama as negroid because he is mullato.
Thanks

Tracy,
I am going to agree with you in kind. I think there are tow kinds of folks in the world; Christians and non-Christians, and that is the actuality of the way I see the world.
And since I do see the world that way I also see nothing racist about a t-shirt that point out the many uncanny resemblences between Obama and Curious George.
I also had no problem with the t-shirt that pointed out the simularities between George W. Bush and "What me Worry" Alfred E. Neuman.
Thanks
RC

What you completely fail to recognize is that Alfred E. Newman has never historically been used as a racist symbol or stereotype.
Monkeys and apes have (versus African-Americans).

But hasn't the whole point of this thread been to separate blacks from the human race? And almost every attempt to make us one people, one blood, in this thread has been met with a firm rejection.

And who's working hard to keep these stereotypes alive and in our faces??? Here's a hint: it's not the white race.

Darlene, I partially agree, but there are an awful lot of white liberals also feeding at the trough.

Do any of you own the shirt? not me. I do not even have a normal CG shirt, though I think he is very cute, and because of CG, I got an award in the second grade, he pushed my reading over the two hundred books mark got a certificate. You know the one where he breaks his arm, and the man with the big yellow hat, takes him to the hospital.

Personally, to compare BO with CG, is a slap in the face to CG! I think the CG people should sue for libel and slander.

And if you and other liberals have their way every time someone sees a monkey at the Zoo; they will think of a black person.
Now who is promoting racism and animal kinship; it is not me, for I do not see it that way.
So it is just more of the liberal hokey pokey hollering and saying look what they (conservitive white folks) think and really projecting what you think.
Shame on you.
Thanks
RC

LOL ok RCJAmes, I will not lie, there is a small resemblence. LOL. Just acknowledge that apes were used against blacks before. Darwin? The pics. There is a racist history tied with it.

That is the truth too. GWB looks like him! LOL.
I also will agree that liberals do that often, I call it the "missionary mentality"

I would certainly not have any idea what folkd did before Darwin. I can honestly say that onece and only once (before encountering the liberals on this thread) has a ssem a connection between black and monkeys.
My wife and I were at the Memphis zoo a few years past and were watching this incredible mountain gorilla named Dinga.
Nest to us was a large black faminly (probable 8-to folks) and they were laughing uncontrollable and making all kinds of referrences that their Uncle Fred looked just like Dinga, acted like the gorilla, etc. etc.
I just hought that they must have a really ugly uncle.
Thanks

And once again you err.
It is your PERCIEVED connection to traditional racist imagery and stereotypes.
You and a couple of more tree huggers are the only ones who hold to the monkey/negroid view or history; so evidently it must just be a liberal thingy, for it is certainly not mine.
Thanks

Oh, I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

Once again, I live in Alabama and I've never, ever heard anyone compare a black man, woman, or child to a monkey. You and others in this thread are the ones insisting that I accept the twisted belief that there is a resemblance and that the demeaning caricatures of blacks look like monkeys.
I submit that it is your perception that is racists, not mine.

I concur Jimbo.
I live in Oklahoma, have lived in Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and many foriegn countries, and have never head a white person make the comparison.
Si it must just be a liberal thingy.
