Obama Buck – Racist Stereotypes on Food Stamps
They might as well have called him a n*gga. Watermelon, Kool-Aid, Ribs & Fried Chicken, all of these things are delicious, but to place them on fake money with a black man is beyond offensive. A Republican women’s club in San Bernardino County is responsible for this sad attempt at humor but she wants you to know that this food stamp is not racist.
“I apologize to anyone who was offended because that was not my intent,” said club President Diane Fedele. “It was poor judgment on my part. It was strictly an attempt to point out the outrageousness of Obama’s statement that he doesn’t look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills.”
If you didn’t know this was racist then you don’t need the right to vote. She had the nerve to then say the following when questioned.
“If I was racist, I would have looked at it through racist eyes,” she said. “I am not racist, which is why it probably didn’t register.”
Club member Kristina Sandoval agreed.
“None of us are racists,” she said.
The use of watermelon, ribs and fried chicken was innocent, she said.
“Everyone eats those foods, it’s not a racial thing.”
Is she blaming you and I for being racist because we think this food stamp is racist? I swear that’s worst than a Sarah Palin rally. What are you thoughts on this?

For someone to say that they didn't know or weren't aware that these statements or depictions are not racist is something beyond racism or ignorance. It is complete and utter stupidity. And to think that someone is willing to take them for their word of not knowing exposes their stupidity and vast ignorance exponentially. And to think these are what we call “Republicans”. Frankly, I am not surprised. I am only so happy that they have chosen to expose themselves.
Wow, so you went from trying to have intellectual conversations, and voice your opinions, to calling Obama “bin ladins”? (which you misspelled along with a lot of other words in your previous comments) Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but, coming to a blog & stating that someone is living off the government, because they stated an opinion is stereotypical and racist. The person you commented on, said a racist statement as well, but assuming you know his life, or worth, off a blog is ignorant. Spell check & mavisbeacon.com will go a LONG way for you minminmagu.
I don't watch cable news. I watch PBS, BBC, read, and listen to public radio. Of course, I'm sure that since you think FOX is the only objective news source, anything else is liberal.
The myth of liberal media is a farce. It's just a talking point from conservatives who are still resentful because of Woodward and Bernstien taking down the crook Nixon.
The news outlets I pay attention to lay out the facts and allow me to form my own opinion, rather that giving me one like FOX does to you.
McCain sounds like McVeigh! John McCain is a TERRORIST!!!!
See how fucking ridiculous that sounds when you flip it around? It just serves to highlight your ignorance and fear of those who are different from you. You really gotta watch something other than FOX once in a while, just to keep your brain from decaying.
Drew, Fox News on Cable is fair and balanced and allows the viewer to decide . If you have never been there I urge you to go. I have seen PBS, but as far as the BBC I am American so why would I watch a British News Channel? If you have not already noticed I am a conservative, and even though I am too young to remember Nixon and his views, what I know of him… I agree he was a crook. As far as Woodward and Bernstien I don't know who they are; should I?
whatever whitey, y put food on it in the first place?
HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA, this shit is funny as fuck, you kids take this shit way to seriusly. I bet most of you arnt even black but your still getting “offended”. Its obviosly made as a joke. I bet the ONLY reason you are having a hissy fit over this shit, is because you support obama, cant you see that obama is playing the race card?
I laugh at how liberals do nothing but spew their liberal bias, and make jokes about republican, but when something so little as this happens, you have to throw a temper tantrum. Damn liberals, quit whining, and grow up.
uhh, yeah! If you paid attention in civics class, they're the reporters who investigated Watergate and linked Nixon to it. I have watched FOX and it is sooooooooooo clearly biased towards the conservative viewpoint it gets my blood boiling! They make stuff up, blow the stupidest little thing WAAAAYY out of proportion and hold a grudge against anyone with an opposing viewpoint. Just pay attention next time a democrat is interviewed by Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reilley. They bully, constantly interrupt and hold liberals to a different standard than those who hold similar views. Usually, a liberal can hardly make a point because their shouted down. FOX panders to the right and BLAMES EVERY problem with our country on the left. Sure democrats are not perfect, but neither are republicans. I do, however, trust Barack Obama way more than any politician in a LONG time. Just because his name is not of European decent, does not make him a Muslim or a terrorist (incidentally, those terms are not mutually exclusive). Obama is not a communist, socialist, or anti-American. I would say, that those who claim those of us who lean to the left are America haters, I would call them anti-American. This country was founded on the principal that we are allowed to have our own opinions and express them freely. In my humble opinion, FOX does not allow for differing opinions. They do not encourage independent thought.
As far as BBC, they cover news from around the world, which I believe is lacking GREATLY in all of the commercially driven news outlets in the US.
If a democrat says anything negative about Palin, they're being sexist, so shut the f*ck up about whining. The notion that a black man belongs on food stamps is clearly offensive and if you can't recognize that you are clearly racist, plain and simple.
You should grow up!
This is outrageous behavior. We should have overcome this racial mess by now. Times are hard for the rich as well as the poor and it is sad that there is still racial profiling in this world. Whoever came up with that food stamp joke is just as “stupid”as the message they are trying to send. What are they teaching their children. I pray for Obama and his family and ask that God protect them from ignorant “S.O.B's”,such as the one that came up with that picture. P.S. Anyone can be a N***A..
It is so hard to look at this “Obama Buck” and not be offended! It is hard to believe that this club president would not think that this stereotype would not be offensive, and then to assume that one would be dumb enough to accept her statement of “everyone eats those foods”. Everyone eats apples and oranges also, funny how she strategically chooses foods that are included in the sterotype of african americans. I think she should be ashamed to call herself the president of anything!
I think it's pretty clear that Diane Fedele IS a racist……. There is no way that is innocent.
I never siad anything about palin, maybe you should get some glasses, the only reason ppl hate palin is because the media tells them to.
Its strange… you guys dont seem to have a problem with obama himself, belonging to a racist church, with a racist pasture. But when some random person creates something funny, you liberals act like she insulted your mother.

HAHAHHAHHAHAHAhhhha drew, all you watch/listen to is liberal bias bullshit, and yet ur too ignorant to even realize that its biased.
Why can't you neo-cons understand that Obama's Church is not racist. Nothing Jeremiah Wright said was racist. Maybe it was anti-american I'll give you that one. But racist… it wasn't. He simply called america on it's dark and ugly past. Lets not forget about the past of America. This country has and still is doing some evil things across the globe.
In the 60's & 70's the FBI murdered it's own civilians. Chairmen Fred Hampton and many say JFK & MLK Lets not forget the ugly past of segregation and oppression. So to say that Rev. Wright didn't have some valid points of WARNING america of it's past and why these events might of happened.
As far as this… well she did insult our mother. These racial stereotypes hurt all people black and white. They remind of how much further this country has to go and that we need to speak about racism and division. It's insensitive people like you that hold America back from being the standard in equality.
Question could you ever see yourself voting for a Black man?
You all are racist for assuming its racist so STFU
It's racist as hell. Come on now! Kool Aid, watermelon, chicken, all of those foods are stereotypes of what BLACK people eat/drink. And it's not funny at all. Her response is a lame coverup for what she is really feeling and I don't buy that excuse that it's not racist.
All FOX does is yell and scream and blame democrats for everything that is wrong in this world. As I stated in a previous post, there's plenty of blame to go around on BOTH sides. I am also aware that you have been thoroughly brainwashed by FOX to believe that they're the only objective news source, which is of course about the most ridiculous notion since Nixon said, “I am not a crook”.
I guess I need to put it in more elementary terms so you can follow along. Maybe you should have someone read along so you don't get lost.
My post about Palin is a counterpoint to your post that liberals are having a temper tantrum about something that you view as inoffensive. However conservatives throw a tantrum whenever a liberal says ANYTHING negative about Palin, and play the gender card.
I hope I dumbed it down enough for you this time.
Oh, steven, I forgot to add, the only reason you hate Obama is because FOX told you to.
I've never heard of a pasture (noun; land covered with grass or other low growing plants suitable for grazing animals) being racist?
You are such an illiterate moron it's funny.
You're probably the kind of person who thinks “racism is dead, so now what are the niggers gonna have to complain about?” Your denial of this Obama Bucks thing being racist shows just how racist you truely are.
Hate is not a family value.
that doesn't even make sense
My guess is that you wrote this after the last debate!lol Time for a new change and McCain is not it. As for Palin, she can't even communicate in her own household. What's safe? Our troops dont even have enough armor and they are at war! Please, Obama is safe because he is looking after the American people not people in other counties!
MANY REPUBLICANS HAVE STATED HOW ASHAMED THEY ARE OF THIS WOMAN AND BECAUSE OF IT THEY ARE ALL NOW VOTING DEMOCRAT! SO CONGRATULATIONS!
THERE IS NO PLACE FOR RACISM!!!!!!!!

Arguing on the internet is like competing in the special olympics, even if you win, your still a retard.

Obama does NOT come from a racist church. Did you even look at the entire clip or was your mind made up by the media outlets against Obama?
Let me guess, you also went to go see “Showgirls” and thought it was the “best movie of the year” because some ad quoted someone saying it , when in all reality they actually said “I will laugh in the face of the person that says Showgirls is the best movie of the year”. Funny how editting a statement can change it completely.

There have been one too many times when someone was written off as racist even if that was not his/her intention. I'm willing to give her benefit of the doubt, cause after all nobody's perfect. But I hope she doesn't do it again. And it's far too sensitive of a time for people to begin racism when the country and the rest of the world is in recession..
