Nah this isn’t a serious thing to jump after because of race if anything it’s simple exploitation

well a couple of things,it doesnt bother me , in fact i’m with other folks and agree we should lighten up. infact its kinda cute. the chimp ad wasnt funny and there’s a woman missing body parts from that incident,not cool.but humor is like dancing not everyone can do it and the bad dancers can hurt others.although the most interesting thing to me is , you seem to be indian/southeast asian ,covering black american issues..hey keep it up

It’s just the S.O.S, hate, however we rise above it everytime.

oh, NOW they wanna claim a lil “vanilla” in the President? What next? trace Tiger Woods back to Abe Lincoln? Quit trying to claim everything thats obviously black. That is until it moves NEXT DOOR TO YOU. LOL

its racist no matter how u put it. America likes to paint this picture of being the land of opportunity and this and that, but I honestly think it is a big joke. Racism isnt dead, and it probably never will be. Another person went so far as to call this cute. well Im just curious as to what they would call ugly then. Racist is being insensitive to others or making mockery out of their differences. I think this is exactly what it is. Well yea, its not as bad as the cartoon about the ape and the cops and the stimulus package, but it is what it is.

50/50 – I’m not really offended, but I think I smell fear.

This was so offensive, I had to laugh. I laughing as I type this. Funny. Racism is sick. You have to laugh to keep your karma clean.

[...] JUST CURIOUS: Obama Ice Cream, Black In White? [...]

Oh wow…They really took it too far on this one…Im at lost for words..

wow dats crazy they just had to do something huh?

My thoughts are a little different from everyone else. Some people jump automatically to a “black man in white skin”. I think this is more about a black man in the White House. That being the case; I am interested in a nice cold treat. It’s time to celebrate. Not everything is bad.

1. obama is much more handsome than that. bad cartoon.
2. it’s too ridiculous to get upset over. the almighty dollar rules america, and until that changes (which we all know is not going to happen), people will exploit anyone or anything to make money. the end.

I think this was more about black man in white house – don’t be quick to assume the worst all the time…it is russian…but, then again it IS russian…

First, I’d like to say that I, too, am sick and tired of the articles on racism. That being said, I’m not aiming this frustration at the Casey Gane-McCallas and Nazneen Patels out there who choose to openly cover and speak out against such issues. Actually, I’d like to thank them for making their voices heard when so many of us in here are afraid to…don’t want to…think there is no need to…can’t be bothered…don’t see anything wrong with the ads and dialogue…etc, etc. Although we all may at times have different perceptions of what is to be considered “racist” material, I’m glad to know there are still people out there willing to question the seemingly unquestionable….even at the expense of being personally attacked by those they may actually be trying to protect.

Obviously, there are some REALLY horrible people and entities out there who directly, as well as intentionally, use methods such as racism and race baiting to further their own agendas. Just because others unintentionally add coal to that fire does not mean that we need to roll over and play dead, either. There wouldn’t be anything regarding racism to blog about if these so-called misunderstandings didn’t linger on and on over the generations.

Looking at the US from Japan..? I think the race-related issues as of late are less about color… and more about maintaining a power structure that has been around for hundreds of years in this country. For those who think that a majority group anywhere in this world is just going to give up its reign so a minority group can take control, here’s some advice: you’d better stop drinking that kool-aid. It isn’t funny or cute when schools in Black neighborhoods receive less money…it isn’t a “misunderstanding on our part” when FOX news and other ultra-conservative media portray us in a VERY negative light over and over and over again (and around the world at that!). And on top of that, we’re not making mountains out of ant hills by confronting issues when we sense that they are meant to ridicule us and our culture. Frankly, I think the day we stop questioning intentions behind issues and actions that appear racist or bigoted in the US is the day we ALLOW our selves to be enslaved again. Too many people (of all races) fight and/or died so that I, a Black American woman, would not have to choose between being a passive by-stander or being lynched, jailed or beaten. I do understand the significance of that journey and appreciate those who risk their all so that it is not repeated.

No, I can’t control how someone else acts… but yes, I can call them out on their actions. For those of us who think it’s time to ‘lighten up’ because it “don’t mean nothing”…just remember where our place in society would be if the Kings and Parks before us had taken that same SAFE route.

You may think that all is rosy because a Black man and his family now walk the corridors of the White House, but I don’t agree. As much as I’d like to think that America can actually be that generous with its positions on race, I’ll pass on the celebrations. Unfortunately, I think the real stench of racism is just starting to raise its ugly head. But maybe I can see it a bit clearer because I’m no longer actually living in it…

Anyway, stay blessed everybody.

By the way, I wrote the “Anonymous” message posted below. Wasn’t hiding my identity…just didn’t notice I was logged out when I sent it.

Japanese Think Obama Is Bananas

Internationally-loved Barack Obama is not surprisingly big in Japan (especially Obama, Japan). Marketers there are already attempting to capitalize on him and his universal message of believable change. And with the above TV spot, E Mobile believes that changing Obama into a primate and dressing him in a presidential monkey suit will sell a s**tload of cell phones. Now before we cry ‘racism,’ let us remember that the crazy Japanese are famous for senselessly insane TV commercials. And this spot was apparently produced before the whole Obama sock monkey incident. So, before we shove Jim Crow down E Mobile’s throat……who am I kidding? E Mobile—you’re racist bastards.

yea i think this racist.u know obama is going to catch alot of flake becasue he trying toclear up bush’s sh**.What did they have to say about bush messing up the world.

yea this comment is racist.

Yes very racist. No different form the old day when black folks were called OREOS.

yep… i see it as a racist statement.

You’d have to be blind to not see that prejudice. It’s whatever though…racism ain’t going no where…believe that.

lol o yea and btw…there’s been a national study done. When it comes to the make up of a person ‘s genes adn racial idenitity there evidenc e that it a caucasian individual mixes with a Afican (or of African decent) hispanic, asian or any other race other than caucasin..they r that other race. Its science and I thought it was common sense but I guess not. He’s a black man…he just so happen to have a white mom. Her genes don’t count when your talking about racial identification. Thats why the kk don’t want us to mix. One drop of black blood makes u black. Not unless ur part asian..there blood line is 7 generations (per individual) or hispanic..thier bloodline is 5 generations (per individual. I know this went over some of yall heads. Just do your research guys…it’s not hard.

The Russians again! Definitely racists! You can’t say this is a cultural misunderstanding. They don’t want or see the need to understand Black America, we’re here for their misuse and amusement.

the picture of that ice cream looks yummy…i’ll definately buy one if it sells at walmart

LILEmotional what’s the name of the Ice cream anyways??

the name of the ice-cream is дуэт (duet)
