And now, everything is racist
If I understand this bizarre twist of absolute non-logic, it would seem that the Obama joker posters are racist because the Joker is urban; and urban means inner cities; and inner cities means black. So, anything urban must be racist. So, I have shoes. Shoes are worn by people in cities. My shoes are racist.
Racist is dead. Long live racist.

No, no, no. Batman is racist. You see, Batman was popular because it played on white people’s fears of urban crime and lawlessness, and as we all know, people who are afraid of high-crime areas in big cities are actually just masking their hatred of black people.
You were doing OK, you just tried to make the connection too direct by cutting Batman out of the chain. You need more practice deconstructing imperial-fascistic racist-sexist comic books.

Batman’s overriding concern is probably protecting the property value of Wayne Manor, I’d guess.

No, bats are racist; therefore, any man portraying a bat is also racist.
And coconuts migrate.

Does that mean that my shirt from URBAN Outfitters is actually racist? Or am I being politically correct by wearing it as a white girl?
I’m confuzzed by these new rulez.

Didja notice that the 1400-odd comments suddenly disappeared yesterday?
It would certainly suggest that the bulk of the commenters didn’t buy into the author’s premise. Probably because they’re all racists, of course.

So if someone says that gun control is needed in urban areas, they really mean gun control is needed for black people so they’re a racist. So all the big cities mayors are racists!

Yeah bombloader, that is exactly what they are.

Gun control is racist.
Ohhh, baby. I’m on to something:)
Obama said during his campaign that he wasn’t against gun ownership. He said it was fine in rural areas, but what worked in (rural) wouldn’t work in (urban).
So OBAMA IS RACIST!!!!!!!!!!1!!!one!!!!
I WINZ TEH INTARW3BZ!!!!!!!

If you’re an American wasp from flyover country, every expression of doubt or dissent you have against democratic or progressive ideas is based in racism or bigotry of some sort.
Also, everything that has gone wrong in any part of the world for the last three hundred years or so is your fault. 🙂

How many blacks did you see at the last teaparty?
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
Might as well been a KKK rally.
Ed Note: Thanks for proving the point. Here’s a black guy at the tea party getting beat up.

Playing “count the black people” seems a little…
Well, can’t very well use a word that just died. Disrespectful.

I am a liberal, I like Obama and I have no problem with this poster. Trying to say it is racist is way to far fetched. We have a right to express our selves.

I see JTF visits here also.
Coverage at Tennessee Free.
Also covered on the Blab, but the natives didn’t care for it. The Obamaites have gotten a little crazy.
