WATERMELON GATE - The WATERMELON EMAIL JOKENO EASTER EGG HUNT THIS YEAR
It seems racism is rapidly becoming the keyword of the current US administration, which begs the question... Is the US really ready for an almost Black President?
Just over a week ago the "political correctness brigade" (led by Al Sharpton) jumped on the bandwagon with sirens blaring over an innocent political cartoon by Sean Delonas and published in the New York Post. This cartoon depicted police standing over a monkey they just shot with the caption "They'll have to find someone else to write the stimulus bill." For Christ sakes people, we all come from monkey's what is the big deal. For that matter, what about all those "so easy a monkey could have done it" comments? Not related at all to black people, just to the ease of the task. (

All that aside, this week's "racism" fireball comes by way of Dean Grouse, Mayor of Los Alamitos California. I guess Dean decided to send a picture depicting the front lawn of the Whitehouse as a watermelon patch with the caption
"NO EASTER EGG HUNT THIS YEAR". Ya ok, I guess that could be stereotyping black people as liking
WATERMELON's... Honestly though, what is the big deal? As a White Cracker Monkey or WASP as some people like to refer to us, I have never even understood the
WATERMELON JOKE. I guess I am abit naive that way. So Black people have been known to eat watermelons... so have whites. Of course some people I know like to fill them up with tequila (They are Mexicans.) Does this now make me racist for saying a Mexican acquaintance of mine likes to shoot his
WATERMELON's up with Tequila??? Come on people, this guy is obviously a Republican and as such, he does not like Democrats. How is this any different than the Texas stereotypes thrown towards that inbred named George. Certain nationalities do certain things. Germans eat Sauerkraut and as such are called Krauts. I am of full German decent and have absolutely no problem with that.
The thing is, there are plenty of awful racist things going on in the world, a simple Email or Newspaper cartoon are not included in that. I guess since an almost Black person is President, lack of representation is no longer a valid argument so new topics must be found.
I leave you with this question. What would Black Rights Acitivists do for a living if there was no reason to protest?
