This Texan takes bumper stickers to a whole new level.
A photo of a truck with Texas tags that features on the tailgate one the most racist decals, complete with a real (and fresh) banana, that targets President Barack Obama was posted to Reddit on Thursday.
"Does this Socialist a** make my truck look too big," the decal, which appears to be professionally done, reads. It also includes photo of Obama dressed in Somalian garb from a 2006 meeting in the country.
The image was taken in the East Texas town of Tyler at the intersection of Loop 323 and Highway 155 and posted by Reddit user bluchunks.
It is hard to say what's most (or least) impressive about this Texan's use of racism to scream his or her political views at anyone on the road, and now anyone on the Internet.
1) The truck owner's self-censoring of what is presumably the word "ass," but could be "ape," as one Reddit user points out in comments of the post.
"Glad that he censored the word 'ass' otherwise that would have been pretty offensive," one Reddit user noted.
2) The truck owner's proud display of his or her presumed alma mater Stephen F. Austin, although it's a little hard to believe someone who graduated from college would go to these lengths.
"Oh great I went to the same college as this guy...Axe'em Jacks!" another user commented.
3) The use of a prop, in this case banana, to drive home the racist primate reference. Also worth noting is the freshness of the banana. Does this person really buy fresh bananas every few days to update his tailgate?
"Is the banana a racist joke or just for scale?" one Reddit commenter asked.
How is that even racist? The man should sue for defamation of character. It’s well known that socialists like bananas, and that this explains why they try to turn every place into a banana republic.
And this New Yorker agrees, God bless Texas.
Maybe had the owner painted Obama with white skin, holding a gerbil, it wouldn’t have been racist.
Great graphic.
I think the banana is taking the place of the muzzy crescent.
That’s what the comma is for!!!
I seem to recall a news story a while back about a cop who ate a banana in front of some black people, they got offended, and the police department had to apologize and promise never to let it happen again. It probably never occurred to the cop that there was anything racist about a banana. It was the “victims” who read that into it.
I don’t see anything racist at all there. Obama may have been born in a banana republic and he is succeeding in making the U.S. one. Muslim clothing is a political view, not a race.
Banana, implying monkey...any reference or implication to non-human primates and bananas is de-facto racist, per the insane left.
GOD BLESS TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And if it’s ok to be nasty to Bush because he’s white
And not OK to be nasty to Obama because he’s black
I suppose that’s NOT racist in the libs’ book?
Scanning this I saw “Loop 323” and immediately thought Tyler, Texas. I am supposed to be in Tyler here in a couple weeks for a convention... I really want to stop by Judge Gohmert’s office (on Loop 323) and just let him (or his staff) know he is doing good work for everyone, even those not fortunate enough to permanently live in that Great State.
I heard Louie’s call into Beck on Thursday morning and he was there in Tyler... no clue what his schedule is.
It is not racist. It states the truth. The Kenyan is a socislist and the pic isn’t photo shopped.
True racism is invisible, unquantifiable racism detectable only by its evocation of opposition to socialism.
Amen.
Congressman Gohmert is a true Texas gem.
I saw that truck the other day. Way cool.
Where did you see the truck?
Yea, a cucumber, carrot, or zuccini would be less subtle...
