Glaringly Racist Meme Goes Viral: Conservative Dimwits Claim ‘It’s Not Racist’ (IMAGES)

Racism isn’t very difficult to spot. If you feel the need to point out a person’s color while criticizing them, that’s called racist.

A meme has been circulating among the densely populated Facebook groups and pages of conservative dimwits since October.

To date it has over 388,000 shares. Originally posted on The Revolution, a right-wing hate-fest frequented by ignorant imbeciles, the meme depicts a skunk, declaring it to be the new Presidential symbol:

skunk meme

This could quite possibly be the most obvious example of racism by conservatives on Facebook. Of course, if you ask a conservative they will wholeheartedly disagree.

The post has over 1800 comments, most of which are by two or three boneheads who love to seize these opportunities to post Barry Soetoro memes and claim that the President has tanked the economy and raided the debt by 800 gazillion dollars.
The rest of the posts are either from liberals who have expressed just how despicable the meme is and conservatives, defending it as “truth” and not at all racist.

Seriously? Making a racist statement and asking how it’s racist. Racist is of course synonymous with “stupid.”

skunk2

Eloquently? I don’t think you understand the words you use sometimes.

skunk4

“Your a idiot.” M’kay. People in glass houses much?

skunk6

Thank you for clarifying. You mean the Presidential seal isn’t REALLY changing? Yes it’s true, liberals. If you find this racist it is in fact YOU who is the hater.

And for good measure here’s one of the multi-posters who can’t seem to reconcile a long-form birth certificate and a 53 year-old birth announcement in a Hawaiian newspaper with the fantasy world he lives in.

There may be some hope as at least one conservative fan of the page showed his displeasure.

skunk5

Could it be that these people don’t realize just how dumb they are or are they in such denial that the blatantly obvious eludes them? How could so many people have shared this filth and not found it incredibly offensive?

The answer is simple. Racists see racist jokes as typical humor, because it’s embedded in their blackened souls.

      NO. again. I’m a bleeding heart liberal, very much opposed to racism, and rape, and rape culture, and victim blaming. This is NOT racism. You don’t realize it, because you care so deeply, which is awesome, but you have to be more critical. Mentioning race does not make something racist. Think about it. Black AND white were mentioned, so ….. which race is supposedly the victim of racism here? What’s the point of what’s being said? He stinks. That’s it. Black and white is just mentioned because he has this in common with the skunk. Like Newspapers, and the classic black and white and red (read) all over joke. There’s NO implication that his race is his detriment, or even any bigotry over race. Be more critical, and the fight against racism will have a more effective champion, because you won’t be wasting your time. /,,

      • Debora Jane

        As a graduate student studying Race, Gender and Politics I would suggest
        you read some academic articles and study a little more about racism
        before espousing such drivel in such a “knowing” manner. Racism post
        Obama is a very real problem in this country and images like this one
        ranks right up there with the worst of them. In addition to being
        blatantly racist about a Black Man, it also reeks of a subliminal
        message about the mixing of the races.

        Jokes aren’t funny when
        they wind up being a part of a systematic group movement with the intent to do harm. They
        are less funny when that harm trickles down include the children of the specific person
        the joke was intended to injure, and they are even less funny when
        seemingly intelligent people attempt to justify them with subterfuge and
        word games.

        Since you have attempted to speak so intelligently
        about your knowledge of racism I can only assume that you are not
        ignorant. Ignorance while no excuse for racism at least explains some
        folks inability to recognize when they hear racist comments and or jokes
        and laugh and agree with racist comments insidiously woven into
        jokes…. so if your not ignorant and you claim to truly understand
        racism…. I have to wonder what you true motive for supporting this
        obvious slam against the Presidents skin color is really all about

      • Andy Morgan

        I would be more inclined to accept your comment if the photo used did not make reference to the racial makeup of the President. If race were not relevant to the poster’s political objections to President Obama’s policies, why reference his make up at all?

        • http://www.youtube.com/user/whatUneverknew Aubrey Terron

          Andy, because skunks are black and they are white. THAT’S ALL. Mentioning race is not racism.
          Debora, I’m aware that racism is bad. I’m very opposed to it, and you can read ALL YOU WANT into it, that doesn’t make it racism, and neither does your education. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. And even though this stupid meme probably will make lots of racists chuckle, don’t let that make you see things that aren’t there. Confusing the mention of race as racism is dangerous for everyone. We have to carefully walk that line between condemnation of the unacceptable, and allowing people to be assholes because it’s simply a right we all have, and should NOT give up. If you want to know my motives, I want people who care about what I care about to be more critical in what they allow to bring up their ire, and efforts. I want people to remember that free speech is really important, even when we don’t like what’s being said, (or if we misinterpret what’s said). As mentioned above, your attention and time spent is valuable.

          • Cathy Nolan Vincevic

            Aubrey Terron, you need to watch “Diet Racism” as seen below.

          • Diane Bitburg

            This meme didn’t simply “mention race” as you put it. That would be an informative article. This is a meme designed for only ONE thing. To mock and belittle an individual. By including his race in the derogatory “joke” it turns into a racist meme. If there had been no mention of his race, just a put-down, then someone wouldn’t be able to claim it was racist and I’d agree with you. In this case, you are just plain wrong. Just because you can’t see racism doesn’t mean it’s not true. Not sure how old you are, but I’m almost 60. I was a kid in the South during the Civil Rights era. Trust me when I tell you this is racist. The sad thing is that racism will never end when people like you claim they’re “opposed to racism” and yet defend racist “jokes” and material.

      • Diane Bitburg

        Being a bleeding heart liberal doesn’t mean anything. I’ve known some who were clueless and I’ve known some who were racist. I’ white. I grew up in the South, surrounded by racism. This is racist. Even if you don’t see it.

        • http://www.youtube.com/user/whatUneverknew Aubrey Terron

          No it’s not.

          • http://www.facebook.com/goatsalliance Subcomandante Goatz

            Nice trolling. Even in a site frequented by a lot of George Soros’ paid left-wing trolls, you trolled then hard, and nobody caught on. I applaud the discipline it must have taken to not once show that you really are not as stupid as you would obviously have to be to believe the BS you spouted,

            Congratulations!

      • youmustbejoking

        Personally Aubrey, when it comes to this subject, I believe you are clueless. If a black person looks at this picture and is unable to feel anything but distress and anger at those who post such obvious drivel, there is a very good chance that it is racist. Because that is the intent of those creating such crap.

        • http://www.youtube.com/user/whatUneverknew Aubrey Terron

          I believe you believe that. I also believe that you don’t understand what racism is. It’s not about whether or not someone doesn’t like what they see. It’s not about mentioning race. The WHITE part was mentioned too, so, should a white person look at the picture and be able to feel anything but distress? OR, do you actually believe that the only thing that qualifies as racism is negativity toward the black race? Do you think the president’s WHITE heritage doesn’t matter because he has black heritage? Is that racist of you?

          • youmustbejoking

            When it comes to this president, the only time his white heritage matters is when the right is trying to cover their asses over the racist drivel they say and/or post. I’m well aware of his mixed heritage and as someone in a family of the same type of heritage, I am well aware of what racism is. We live it daily.

          • http://www.youtube.com/user/whatUneverknew Aubrey Terron

            I want to see an end to racism and all bigotry, and I don’t approve of the two party system because it produces bigotry and Us vs. Them mentality in people. It’s like high school rivalry all over again. Everything done by the one side gets slammed by the other, and vice versa. Mudslinging (whether it involves racist sentiment or not) is childish and counterproductive. No matter how many assholes have said ridiculous stupid crap about Obama, whether they are motivated by being a republican or a racist (my only point here) can’t make this joke racist, because racism is MORE than involving negativity and race. If I say that white people tend to be stupid. That’s racist, if I say that a particular person is like a white bird poop because (they are white) and they stink like poop, that has NOTHING to do with insulting their race, or other people of the same race, because race isn’t relevant to any point beyond the set up of the joke. The underlying joke is that OBAMA stinks. The person that made this joke COULD be a racist, or they could just be a republican looking to bash on the president. Classy? no. But not racist either. If it said that mixed PEOPLE are like skunks, THEN they would be saying that ALL mixed people stink, and that would be racist. The reason I care is that ANY good motive if not applied correctly can do damage. I know that when people speak out against racism, they are coming from a good place, but being paranoid about racism is detrimental to people knowing how to get along even when they hear things they don’t like (which we all need to learn to do, because it’s GOING to happen). In order to reach a point where we challenge what needs to be challenged, and leave alone what needs to be left alone, we have to try to be critical. If we don’t, we’ll just end up fighting constantly over humor, for example, and what happens then is that people tell TRULY racist jokes in order to prove that their humor shouldn’t be policed, and the line becomes blurred again and we still can’t tell why one thing is racist and another is not. ok end of my book. /,,

  • Holly Baby Catkiss

    I don’t like Obama either, but it has nothing to do with his race or religion. It’s his policies I hate and no, I’m neither Conservative or Liberal!

    • Rodrick McMillan

      And what would those policies be? Providing health care to millions who couldn’t get it before, therefore lightening the load on emergency rooms, which the taxpayers pay for and is hundreds times more expensive? Maybe it’s the policy of allowing families to stay together by not deporting the parents of legal americans? The bailout of General Motors? They paid back the money given to them a couple of years ago… Maybe it’s helping homeowners keep their homes instead of predetory bankers foreclosing on bad loans made during the last housing bubble. What are the policies you disagree with?

      • Timothy Weston

        President Obama is too cozy with Wall Street. His administration has refused to prosecute the very people that crashed the economy before he was elected and sworn in to office.

      If you are black and white. You are considered black! If you are 3/4 white and 1/4 Native, your considered Native by people who are racist. You could have 5 drops of Mexican blood and racists would consider you Mexican. So this “black and white where mentioned” is not a valid argument. If you haven’t experienced racism it is hard for people to grasp.

      • http://www.youtube.com/user/whatUneverknew Aubrey Terron

        That only applies if you ASSUME the person is a racist, and that’s because you’re ASSUMING that the half of white that is mentioned doesn’t matter to racists in general.

    Some people just aren’t smart enough to break down what they are seeing in a logical way (even when you do the thinking for them, and explain it carefully). If race or colors are mentioned, and there’s any kind of negativity AT ALL, that’s racism. If you DID watch “diet racism” as I did, also suggested by those who think I’m just ignoring racism when it’s subtle, you’ll notice a woman stating that she’s not attracted to a particular race. STILL not racism, but in a fervor to be the anti-racism good guy champion, any negative opinion about anything related to genetic traits are fast becoming unacceptable, and soon we won’t be able to discuss physical traits that we do or don’t find attractive for fear of being labelled racist. joy.

    Stating that you’re not attracted to a particular set of physical characteristics is NOT racism. not BEING attracted to a particular set of physical characteristics is NOT racism.

          • disqus_zmAbFsEkq6

            I asking because of your statements “you don’t understand what racism is”, ” it’s not racist, you don’t realize because you care so deeply”, “people speak out against racism, are coming from a good place, but paranoid..” to people who have experienced and witnessed and even have education on the subject. Your a little defensive, you won’t answer because you don’t want to be belittled or attacked. Maybe you should be a little more critical to what brings up your ire.

          • http://www.youtube.com/user/whatUneverknew Aubrey Terron

            I don’t see how the one is relevant to the other. I’m defensive because the internet is full of idiots. (not assuming, just prepared) You didn’t explain how what you want to know is relevant to what I said, or any point related to it. One can always be more critical, but I wouldn’t use the word “ire” in this situation.
