More Republican Racism

The anti-Obama racism continues out west. This time it was a Republican group in San Bernardino County, near Los Angeles.

The fake food stamp illustration seemed to draw on racism thought buried in America's past, where black people were often depicted eating southern food and being unclean.

Diane Fedele, the president of the group claimed that there was no racism intended. She said that she did not connect food stamps, fried chicken, watermelon, and ribs to African Americans. She further claimed that any association with previous racist cartoons and caricatures was purely coincidental.

Sure Diane. We believe you.
