Obama Waffles Leave Bad Taste

The Obama Waffle "joke" is disturbing. Judeophobic Europe in the first half of the XX century mocked the Jews in a similar manner. The trend goes from derision to dehumanisation, mirc
from generalisation to stereotype.

I wish to believe that the people behind the "product" didn't seek to convey a racist message. But in believing so, it becomes clear that they are just vehicles of an already established message.sohbet Ignorance and bigotry once again, hand in hand

I am almost 40-years old. When will my life be free of these small insults, the "I didn't know that Aunt Jemima was a racist symbol" - the endless protestations of good will from the mouths of the most insulting people?

These men are too old to be so ignorant. They have no excuse for the lack of knowledge they show about these slave images - like Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben - used to caricature and demean black people ever since our arrival in these lands.

I am tired of it. We are tired of it. When will white people undertake an effort to educate themselves and their families on the evils of slavery and how insulting these images are in reality. To the memories of those long dead and gone - and sometimes un-memorialized - but especially to those of us here today - supposedly your sisters and brothers in citizenry?

It's political satire folks an nothing more. Where is all this outrage when the same kinds of shots are being taken at President Bush, Coni Rice, etc. I guess it's only offensive when it is the Dem candidate that is being poked fun of. Lighten up people, geez!

This is absolutely awful. The caricaturization of Barak and Michelle is horrid. These men believe the comparison to Aunt Jemima is a favorable one and are unsure why it would be considered racist. It absolutely was their intent to align their "satiric" pictures with the degrading slave-era images of Aunt Jemima, no question. Wonder why its Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben but Mrs Butterworths? Research it. Their comparison to Emiril and Newman's own is flat out stupid. ITS THEIR OWN PRODUCT! They chose the images and they are NOT caricatures! The package design seemed to cover practically every black stereotype they could think of: the demanding, aggressive black women with the use of Michelle Obama's picture and demands "What are you waiting for?", the ghetto-centric ridiculous nonsensical rap lyrics to again trying to revive the several-times disputed and disproven myth about Obama's religious heritage. They even said so, that Obama was ACCUSED of being a Muslim. Its not that he IS, it is simply an accusation. Since when did wearing authentic African garb become an indication of your religious preference. That's like saying wearing Bruno Magli's makes you a killer.

Political satire is fair game if you can do it tastefully and without racial insults. Using this racially slanted approach means there wasn't enough political ammunition to use to generate the satire. This lacks taste and credibility. The satire needs to be based in TRUTH and nothing on that box was truthful.

This is great!! I cant believe small minded people who have no sense of humor and try to say its racism. Why is it that "BARRY" can talk about his black roots growing up, sit in an obvious racist church where anti white doctrine is espoused from the pulpit by the "WRONG" rev wright, make racial comments in his speeches but no one complaines that he is playing the race card. The minute someone else uses political satire about him however , suddenly its racist . GROW UP!! If you cant stand the truth about YOUR candidate perhaps you need to do some waffling yourself.( and vote for real AMERICAN VALUES on the MCAIN/PALIN ticket)

I cannot believe I'm seeing this in 2008!! These people are scum. I am not fooled by their innocent act, "reminds me of when I was growing up, etc., etc." Barf. These people are anything but Christian.....more like spawn of the devil. Newt and all his juvenile pals should be ashamed.....what poor excuses for men!
