Does Image Of Obama With Rope Around His Neck Show Race Remains An Issue?
It appears that some in the U.S. still have a long way to go before we realize the idea of being a post-racial country.
Images like this are disturbing for what is obvious and for the lack of understanding about why such an image is like salt in the wound of racism.

Is it possible to track down the original source of this image to verify its veracity? I'd want to do this before reposting it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like another "academic" has way too much time on their hands-
ReplyDeleteIt took about five minutes to post it. I was willing to spare five minutes.

ReplyDeleteNothing is beyond free speech. That's the whole idea...
DeleteDoesn't change the fact that this is an absolutely ignorant and disgusting image.
