Obama Curious George T-Shirt

Charges of racist and demonstrations by groups such as the anti-semitic Nation of Islam continue to harass local Marietta, Georgia bar owner Mike Norman over his Curious George Obama t-shirts.

Norman claims he’s saying out loud what everyone else in town whispers while Rich Pellegrino, director of the Cobb-Cherokee Immigrant Alliance says it’s “time to put an end to this”. He says “there’s no place for these views, not in this day and age”.

Politically Correct

Just what would Pellegrino be putting an end too? Norman’s right to Free Speech and to publicize his views? Would Pellegrino take the time to “put an end to” his demonstration cohorts, the Nation of Islam’s Jew-Hating statements?

We found the fact that the Nation of Islam, a group documented to be virulently anti-semitic, is demonstrating over the Curious George T-Shirt. We decided to post quotes from of the head of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan. We wondered if Rich Pellegrino would find these to be “racist” and “offensive”?

These false Jews promote the filth of Hollywood that is seeding the American people and the people of the world and bringing you down in moral strength. It’s the wicked Jews the false Jews that are promoting Lesbianism, homosexuality. It’s wicked Jews, false Jews that make it a crime for you to preach the word of God, then they call you homophobic! Louis Farrakhan - Saviours Day, Chicago, Illinois, 2-26-06

See, you so called Jews. I’m not gonna give you the credit for being one of those that obey God. You portrayed us, you know what images do, that’s why you jumped on Mel Gibson. But you painted us, big lips, red eyes, kinky hair, you put in the movies like that. You mocked our characteristics and made us to hate God’s creation of us. You did that. Hollywood did that.You take our strongest, more courageous black minds, you think we don’t see you? And you put us in Hollywood. You give us television shows, and then we gotta bug our eyes. Louis Farrakhan, Saviours Day Speech, Chicago, 2-29-04

According to the Atlanta Journal, Norman isn’t backing down. He says people are “hunting for a reason to be mad” and refuses to rise to the “racist” tag assigned him by the likes of the Nation of Islam.

    Oh, I see.

    All the many pictures of George W. Bush depicted as an ape or looking like an ape were okay and “funny” but doing the same to a guy who looks just as much like a monkey is racist. I love the illogic and inconsistency of the left. It is amazing they didn’t see this coming and just decide to keep their stupid mouths shut now that it’s happened. An image like this was inevitable in the spirit of the bad karma set by America’s left.

    Louis Farrakhan has been been roundly and justifiably condemned for his antisemitism by everyone: left, right and center for at least a couple of decades. No one serious defends him. He doesn’t seem to mind.

    So bar owner Mike Norman should man up and take the criticism, just as Farrakhan has.

    Both men are bigots and equally despicable.

    I have also seen the many pictures comparing Bush to apes, but I find it hypocritical that we can sit there and find those amusing and then in turn say that the one comparison of Obama to Curious George is racist. It all had to with the similarity in a facial gestures of Obama and Curious George, as did the pictures comparing Bush’s facial gestures to many other monkeys. Stop making everything into a racial issue.

    Let’s not be hypocritical, we have stated multiple times that Curious George W looks like a chimp. He does. Actually more than Obama.
    http://home.nyc.rr.com/jadedem/gw1.html
    So some little girl said that Obama reminded her of her hero George and called Rush. George W reminded us of an ape as well, but not a cartoon but the actual pictures of chimps. I guess he is too wrinkly to remind one of the cartoon chimp.

    The fact of the matter is that the guiy is probably racist, but if calling one person a chimp, then you can call the other a chimp.

    But only one already has the name George and has acted like a chimp in the presidency already.

    As for who looks more like apes, White people or Black people, I once decided to prove all the biases false and put in a bunch of apes into the online programs that pull up the celebrities that have the most similar features to the pictures submitted. Guess what, the pictures pulled where equally of Black and White people. No bias in a computer program.

    The difference between depicting Bush as a monkey and depicting Obama as a monkey is that Obama is black, and this country has a long history of treating blacks as inhuman or subhuman. Not so for whites. Is that point really lost on people? If so, that’s some dad gum ig’nance right here. I love how oppressed white conservatives seem to feel. Talk to me after you’ve been enslaved.

    Hey Bob Miller - I doubt you ever were enslaved either. Why don’t you quit crying about something that happened before you were even born. Free speech is Free speech. By the way, Obama really does resemble Curious George.

    Hey Bob Miller…..virtually every minority came to this country as poor, oppressed, and despised. Only one minority has failed to make an effort to get out of the “ghetto.” Only one minority creates its own ghettos when given ew public housing to trash. Slavery? Blacks still practice it in Africa, along with genocide, female circumcision, witchcraft and virgin-rape.

    I know it’s your right to be a lunk-head liberal, but trust me son - it’s nothing to be proud of!!!! Keep your ignorance to yourself!!!!

    Hey Tj,

    Totally insensitive, I suppose that you are some kind of superstar, maybe a Brain Surgeon, perhaps an astronaut…no I am sure that you are some average Joe who has not truly succeeded either. you probably blame your Dad or Mom, or perhaps your teachers, or maybe your boss for your failures. Its true that many Blacks could do better, but they are embedded in a cultural group that was devastated by the USA.

    American has a history of Racism and this history lingers a long time. The USA decultured a group of people and has failed to facilitate their full re-entry into society. Slavery was really not that many generations ago and overt racism has jest been phased out over the past 2 generations. It takes time for communities to move forward and progress. I am a White Canadian who was raised in a low-middle income town where almost everyone had a blue collar job. The vast majority (99%) of those people I graduated high school with went on to the same type of lifestyle as their parents. When most Black people were low level labourers and waitresses due to prejudice only one or two generations ago, why do you expect that their children should somehow break the mold and launch themselves past their cultural history. You suggest that because they were put into mass apartment buildings of low income households that these people with a substandard Education and limited opportunity should have risen up and somehow made a utopia. Of course they did not, no more than low income, poorly educated whites have done (I have seen the wonderful trailer parks of the USA - Impressive).

    You may call those of us with this opinion Lunk Headed Liberals, but I live in a country with higher wages, a much better economy (22 years of straight growth due to good governance), free health care, better education, more ethnic diversity, better productivity, MUCH lower crime rates, less pollution per capita, and FAR MORE opportunity for the average Joe. We really do look down upon America and wonder why they continue to have a society that subsidized the rich at a cost to the poor. What is so funny about it, is that it is the poor and uneducated who continue to vote in the governments that really do create an oppressive situation. In many ways slavery still exists in the USA, its the only country that pays people that little to work and that does not provide them with health care….oh wait, I should say the only developed country…although I do wonder if that label is deserved sometimes.

    I end with one last comment, the 12 year old girl is totally right, Obama looks like curious George - he really does, I looked. Its a fine thing for a 12 year old who does not have the benefit of understanding the context to say, but those of us with a decent education are cognizant of the fact that this comment is unacceptable due to the history of Slave owning countries like the USA. Oh, yeah, sorry I forgot that most of you don’t have the benefit of a decent education….sorry bout that.

  • Elisa said:

    wow this is so sad… its not that the fact that hes black, that has nothing to do with it, its the fact that he really does look like a monkey and people that say he doesnt are just in denial. I mean to those of you who dont agree, have you ever seen him??? and you say we’re racist. well look at a lot of the aferican american (otherwise known as the black people) people in the united states they think they deserve everything and they have their own college fund but if we tried to create a college fund we would be racist and they call us crackers and all that but if we call them the “N word” they get offended and call us racist and yet they call each other it and are fine with it. theres really nothin to be mad about its just slang from the spanish word, Nigro. If you look at most colored pencils it says that. what next are blacks going to be offended by colored pencils. I dont get it they need to realize that were not going to treat them any differently than we do some one that is white. People are blowing this way out of proportion. its a t-shirt with a persons name and a picture on it. Those of you who are offended with the t-shirt, would you feel offended if the put someting like a butterfly of a tiger on it instead of a monkey??? There’s essentially no difference. For those of you who disagree with my statement, feel free to comment me back. Id love to here your ignorance.

    HE DOES look like the monkey!!! And as for the comment that “whites don’t know what it’s like to be enslaved” well there are NO blacks alive who have been enslaved. The blacks who cry about this are the same ones who use the enslavement of their great great grandpa to justify their laziness, immoral behavior and their desire to be lawbreakers.

    Buuuuuurrrrning Hot (25 lbs of steaming monkey shit in a 5lb bag), Liberal Canuck (born without a brain, or Honor), and Blowjob Bob Miller: you clowns are clearly the result of your moms having sex with too many meth addicts. Obviously, none of you mooks knows a damn thing about actual history, and you prefer to exist in your selective moral outrage liberal bubble, drinking your Kool-Ade, and subsisting on welfare handouts.
    As an actual intelligent person brought up; nobody currently alive in America EVER was enslaved in this country, and by the way, oxygen thieves; the Irish, Scottish, and plenty of other “privileged” fair skinned European types were treated like shit and enslaved by plenty of people. I’m sure none of you oxygen thieves ever heard of Cromwell and his treatment of the Irish, though.
    Black Africans were sold out and enslaved by Arabs, & other black Africans, and by the way, Creoles (I know, two syllable words and historical facts are hard for you morons) owned slaves in the Antebellum American South.
    Also, you don’t see the American Indians, the Irish, the Japanese, the Jews, Laos, Thais, Cambodians, or the Italians going out of their way to reinforce negative stereotypes, whining for handouts, and blaming everybody else for their problems.
    And isn’t it interesting how the “politically correct” term, all too popular these days, of “African American” is not only utterly idiotic (Africa is a continent, not an ethnic group or race of people), but only applies to blacks, yet not whites from Africa.
    Get your shit together, know your role & shut your pie hole, or get the hell out of America and try living in Africa, Venezuela, Cuba, Somalia, Iran, N. Korea, or some other cess pit.

    First, stop telling old lies on Minister Farrakhan and what he represents. The Bible and Qur’an condemns those who don’t live upto the standard of God whether Muslim, Christian or Jew.

    The question that must be asked concerning his statements concerning some Jews is did he lie? He speaks against the evil of all people who do wrong.

    I encourage you to learn of him.

  • Idiot hater said:

    Get over it, he looks like curious george, acts like Karl Marx. and has more white in him than black remember he has arib bloodline as well! Oh and for all you Black Americans less than 1/3 of America had slaves all southern states less than 1 person in 50 thousand had a slave in those states! We were only 3% of the slave trade most slave traders/owners were African or middle eastern even a huge percent were Jewish! 200 X more whites died freeing you. 88% of todays Black Americans have no direct lineage to a slave. Your old family stories are probably lies to keep you angry and racist To many black millionaires to claim you are disadvantaged. Oh and just so you all know McCain sucks Obama is horrible, please lets get Bush out of there all of congress and the senate and start over!

  • Chris said:

    Actually, I think he looks more like the monkeys from the movie Madagascar.

    And about blacks being oppressed and not being able to move up the social ladder…

    I had a very tough childhood, moving every year or two because we got evicted because we couldn’t pay the rent. I had the same opportunity in public schools that blacks, hispanics and every other minority has. Now I enjoy a $50,000 per year base salary plus commission. I guess the difference is that I payed attention at school and graduated. Not to mention, I didn’t have the NAACP, United Negro College Fund, The Ron Brown Scholar Program, Malcolm X Scholarship for Exceptional Courage, Agnes Jones Jackson Scholarship, Earl G. Graves Scholarship, African American Future Achievers Scholarship Program, … need i go on? I had to get loans and pay them back.

    Blacks and minorities complain about equal rights, we give them special rights and every opportunity to excel, it’s their own fault if they want to stay in the ghetto. There are many blacks and other minorities that are very successful that came from the same upbringing as 75% of the criminals behind bars.

    I’m surprised that no one has mentioned the fact that ‘monkey’ used to be a racial slur for black people - which makes it pretty much _not ok_ (even if Obama gets the opportunity to make history in the Oval office) to take the comparison any further than a sweet little girl’s innocent observation.

    That is, assuming it was such, and since I don’t know where she was from or anything about her background, it’s also possible that she has already been influenced by the beliefs of those who may not be so innocent. Much as we’d like to wish it away - racism still exists in this country, and denying it doesn’t help anyone.

    And there actually _are_ still slaves, even in our beloved America, and many of them are women: domestic workers smuggled in from overseas, young women and girls promised a new life and forced into prostitution. All is not equal or just in ‘this great nation’ that so values ‘equality and justice for all.’

    By the way, speaking of ignorance, ‘hear’ is spelled with an ‘a,’ dear Elisa. ‘Here’ is a place. I guess our ‘liberal Canuck’ has a point. The ‘bootstrap’ theory just doesn’t work very well in practice, not in the America of today - only a select few are able to escape adverse conditions - and they are truly inspirational.

    Senator Barack Obama, lives in a mansion he bought for $1.9 million in Chicago. George Obama, 26, is the youngest of the presidential candidate’s seven half-brothers and half-sisters, and while the other siblings are close, he told the magazine he was embarrassed he lived “on less than a dollar a month”, and so never mentioned his famous half-brother. “I live like a recluse, no-one knows I exist,” he reportedly told the magazine. “I live here on less than a dollar a month.” Check out George-Obama.Com

    Personally , I think Obama looks like a black Alfred E. Newman! It seems okay to compare President Bush to a monkey, but God forbid we speak the truth about Obama. Come on, you know he’s funny looking, big ears, little round head. The people who get offended because we think he looks like a cartoon, but don’t mind knocking President Bush, are racist pure and simple. This country is already plenty divided on the race issue, if we’re not allowed to knock Obama the way the other candidates and presidents have been knocked, there is really going to be a serious backlash in the white community, and everything we have always said will be proven to be true.
