LOS ANGELES --- A space-themed, talking Hallmark graduation card is being pulled from store shelves because of the card’s reference to a black hole.

But members of the Los Angeles NAACP say the message sounds like "black whore" in the card's audio recording. That's how they hear it, and they say it's racist, KABC-TV in Los Angeles reported.

So I guess when you open it up and listen, you’re “playing the race card”?

Remember when they wanted to ban Snapple drinks because they swore it was a slave ship on the label?

I hope with every fiber of my being this was recorded by an asian person who has trouble with the letter “l”. Throw it right back in the NAACP’s face.

Funny but I never heard of the NAACP demanding that rap music be pulled from the shelves. Ain’t no denying the misogynistic language there.

Rather than spend the money to fight stupidity, Halmark niggardly folds.

Sounds to me like they are saying ***holes! I can see why the NAALCP is upset and feels like they are being “dissed”. Besides, it’s a graduation card. Something none of them have ever received.

Their low IQ is showing.

They think Dixie is a racist word too.

Sounded like holes to me. Hoops and Yo Yo are fun, nutty little characters. Someone needs a hearing aid and a brain retread.

Thanks for posting. I missed it the first time. The black guy complaining isn’t exactly the greatest when it comes to enunciation.

The “race card” is more widely known by it’s formal name: “The Joker”

they’d be even more upset if they knew what that actually was. It is a wood cut of the Boston Tea Party.
