Obama Bucks

Obama Bucks were spread in a newsletter sent out by Diane Fedele, a member of the Chaffey Community Republican Women, Federated. The Obama buck is an imagining of what currency would look like if it featured Barack Obama. It depicts Obama surrounded by ribs, Kool-Aid, watermelon and other items stereotypically associated with African Americans.

For Diane Fedele to not know Obama Bucks is racist, she would have to not know that it is offensive to impose the image of a presidential candidate on the body of an animal, and she would have to not know that every food that she depicted is stereotypically identified with *Diasporans. And she would have to not know that no ethnic group wants to be exclusively identified with food stamps. She would have to not be an American to not know all of that . . . *Diasporan: A descendant of a survivor of the African diaspora

The poll question is set up as bigoted. Either way, she is condemned as a racist. Everything is "racist" these days, except, of course, "dumb blonde" jokes. Oh, and black comedians were they can say "you white people, crackers, etc.". I think now we are getting to see the US slavery karma coming back on the whites in this karma. The Dept of Justice says there is an increase in crime of black on white people that is increasing daily. What goes around comes around. It should be an interesting time.
