What year is this again?

I am stunned that this t-shirt could be proudly displayed anywhere anymore.


Now get this: the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is running an online poll that is asking, "What do you think of the Obama t-shirt?", with two choices: "It's racist" and "it's fine". You might be wondering why the newspaper would even have to ask…but here's the kicker.

"It's fine" is winning.

Do you think maybe we can shift the balance there? Or should we just let this indictment of Georgia's racism stand?
Well, since that post, it's gone to 55% "it's racist" so as the rest of the country weighs in, the fact is making itself known.

Still.

Makes me wonder just how much caca is down there in people finding more unique ways to duplicate EX-Senator Allen's "Macaca" jape.

As for the AJC?  Why the hell don't they just call it for what it is, rather than insisting that nothing is true unless some poll says it is?  Bad enough politicians and marketing weenies do that.  The press was supposed to be our last stand, our one voice for pointing out bullshit when it sees it, but the press is now more full of shit than ever, it seems...
