Is it really necessary for
people to go so low as to use racism to devalue a presidential nominee?
Well apparently that is no problem for some people to do. There has been a
great deal of focus and attention placed on this “racist, anti-Obama bumper
sticker,” on Facebook and whether it was digitally altered or if it is
legitimate. The bumper sticker
itself crosses out the Obama campaign logo and says “’Don't Re-Nig in 2012.’
And in smaller print below, ‘Stop repeat offenders. Don't' reelect Obama!’” . Apparently the sticker is very real, in
fact “a website called "Stumpy’s Stickers" offers the bumper sticker
for sale for $3” but whether this specific bumper sticker on the car is real,
reporters have yet to find out. Yahoo also reports that “the site also [offers]
several other racially insensitive items for sale.” According to the website
the bumper sticker’s image is also available on t-shirts. Ironically enough the stickers goes
against the message intended because “as one astute Facebook reader pointed
out, the bumper sticker is not only offensive, it's pretty dumb. After all, if
you take the top message at its literal meaning, to not renege in 2012, would
mean to in fact re-elect President Obama.” Posted by: Jenesis Lopez
