Have a long heart to heart talk, or else a short chat, asking what the problem is and what he expects me to do given the situation.

KarmaMod:

I am aware of all that. Just saying that it's not issue of his "race" that should be bothering those bothered by the cover but the fact that the cover is trying to imply that Obama is someone who would flag burning (A HUGE offence here) as something "cool" hence the fist pumping with his wife

very true.

there's no need for a do or die attitude about obama's candidacy.

We are not in Africa, where sit tight rulers and rigged elections are the norm, and people kill each other over politics.

Al Gore accepted his defeat gracefully, even though there were a lot of questions marks about George Bush winning. Al Gore's supporters went on with their lives after the whole thing.

People should learn to accept winning or losing gracefully. That's the mark of a progressive society.

I doubt the total population of black people in Britain is only two million.

Even from my village alone a lot of families have someone in the UK.





@nigeria1

Do you know how many Nigeria who had USA visa in the last 30 years,  I would assume 50% never return come,  because in Nigeria , before they give you visa , you would waste nearly one year at that embassy, they try nigerian like piece of S.  Give pastor more than 500,000 naira in prayer,  Visit bablawo  3,000 times,     go to mosque 10 times a day,  When you now get it,  what most people do because they can't affort airline ticket,  they sell all they have,  With the desire never to return,  they do not care if they are illegal in USA,  because they believe an Illegal immigrate is better off than a citizen of Nigeria passport holder,  They get here,  Get married to a USA citizen,  Use condom for awhile,  the woman discovered why she have not had a child,  buy her own condom and drill a hole in it,  and the baby came(she calls the baby Miracle),  He can't leave the USA for life,  You know how people,  They can't leave their children behind,  Some even try kidnap to get the children back to Nigeria,  it never worked out.  Nigerian Men would say thank you to America woman for having a heart.   




what an analysis. cheesy cheesy

the flag is underneath the picture of Osama.

Not the first time Obama has been linked to his Is'lamic heritage.

Michelle here might be a black panther or something. I think one of their slogans was " Power to the People". Black Panthers also have links to Is'lam.

The flag burning is typical Iran rhetoric.

As far as I'm concerned (nothing to do with kobojunkie's views), this depiction of Obama doesnt faze me in any way because I'm a regular viewer of www.jibjab.com.


A site established to satirize political candidates. Bill Clinton has been on there, George Bush, Hillary, and a lot of other politicians.

The New Yorker cartoon isnt about Obama's race- its about his M'uslim background. Deny it as you will, his father was M'uslim and when you're running for the office of president, if you cant handle heat, then you should stay out of the kitchen. He's an African chief. Dont know about the headgear, but the attire is African.

[s]hmmm, they havent even introduced sambo yet, and people are complaining.[/s]

Michelle's hair actually isnt too bad. If they were making fun of her race, they would have depicted her hair in a way that would leave no doubt at all about what they meant.

The cartoon is satirizing them as individuals, not on the basis of their race.
