Lester is racist

I think that is just cruel...........

this was one funny cartoon

Exactly right. Obama can't win without the old guard and they refuse to think he is "black" enough unless he bows to their agenda.

It's a power issue.  The African American community should be taking note of the Black leaders who are supporting Clinton.  No clearer message of their true alligence could be made.  They are more interested in preserving their own power than supporting, possibly, the first Black President. I have never voted for a Democrat for President, I will vote for Obama.  It makes me sad to see his own people not support him, but it does not surprise me.

That comment was Racial and totally  un called for.

This is racist, but not in the way you think. "The Old Civil Rights Guard" is a black man, but Mike Lester made the poor decision of only making the man's hands black instead of the legs, which make it look like a white person instead of cream colored socks. Anyway, it's black-on-black discrimination, they would rather see Hillary Clinton bow down to the Old Guard in the name of the history of injustices to black people, whereas they know Obama won't let them get off the hook as easily and will hold them to a higher standard instead of riding the self-deprecating affirmative action wave. Ridiculous.

I think that you missed the mark on this one too.

It is a bad idea to use Mr. King 's dream in politic for Obama because that was a rebel-dream. It was God will to create black-white, intelligent smart...in different level.

It completly is not the skin clor that make the conflick interest BUT yourself, who define your position in society



Where is Mr. Obama's father. How he support his son in that mix-race short marriage?

You tried to fade & hide his image in Obama life for your political point. The lady(what is her name?) who said Hillary is  a monster actually she is very look alike Caroline Kennedy !! More and more people do not support and  think positive about Kennedy clan after they support Obama

Where is Mr BIG BBBBB OBAMA? FATHER of OBASMA. Where and why you did not bring him out to the public to see how he look-alike???


Posted By: Kim Jones  on Friday, May 02, 2008

"Not on you life."  

"Sorry,True Americans don't do brown nosing."



"After you kiss my backside"



That's the problem with the old guard, they won't retire and still raise hell.

This racist, totally unneccessary, and, with 90 percent of the black vote, also kinda .... humonguously dumb!



This guy is racist, but probably thinks he isn't. He's the guy that thinks... "But .... look at how poor blacks are ... so we whites ARE better than them!", leaving out conveniently the active role whites play in keeping the black man down.

He probably gets mad at African-Americans who get mad for being threated racist.

"Why are they getting mad, it's just a little racism, they should be able to take that ... "

Worst kind of racist this guy. At least the kkk comes out openly and gives us a target ...
