New Poster Reveals the Ugly Face of Racism

On the heels of the much commented upon Joker poster of President Obama, a new poster has emerged from an another anonymous artist that has people chattering once again...

Don't be misled. These new posters featuring Barack Obama's face imposed over the likeness of Tinky Winky may appear benign, but they're not.

Their intent is far deeper and insidious: to stir ugly racist thoughts in America's subconscious.

On the surface, the posters don't add anything new to the discussion. Obama has been called a “socialist” before. But, subliminally, the posters draw heavily on stereotypes of the worst kind.

Consider the following evidence:

- First, the obvious: Purple is only a tick or two away from black on the color spectrum, so it's clearly no coincidence that Obama's likeness was imposed over Tinky Winky and not Dipsy, Laa-Laa, Noo-Noo, or Po. Tinky Winky is an unspeakably devious subliminal reminder of the pigmentation of our President's skin.

I always thought it was kinda creepy the way those little speakers come up out of the ground in Teletubby land to tell everyone what to do. But it took a post like this to open my eyes to the evil intent of that programming.
Thank you for your dedication.

What's with the pink purse. I thought this character was male.

Oprah Winfrey, a staunch supporter of President Obama, who lives in Chicago and is frequently rolly-polly starred in the movie, "The Color Purple".

This may be a crude attempt to fuse Oprah Winfrey, a popular talk show host and the President.

I don't know. I'm just saying... the purse and all.

This is the new red-pill-blue-pill promotion.

Nick, I thought this was Goomba original art until I clicked over ... I think they are copying you.

OK, Jane, I'm glad to learn the penny has finally dropped.

Opie...It's a manbag, not a purse.

Mike, it's tough for me to get into that one. I kind of believe Vegans get what they deserve.
