Be advised, if you note President Barack Obama is skinny, you’ll probably be lambasted as a racist.
After all, it’s pretty obvious when you say it, you’re really reminding everyone the president is black:
In the Aug. 1 Wall Street Journal, Amy Chozick asked, “[C]ould Sen. Obama’s skinniness be a liability?” Most Americans, Chozick points out, aren’t skinny. Fully 66 percent of all citizens who’ve reached voting age are overweight, and 32 percent are obese. To be thin is to be different physically. Not that there’s anything wrong, mind you, with being a skinny person. But would you want your sister to marry one? Would you want a whole family of skinny people to move in next-door? “I won’t vote for any beanpole guy,” an “unnamed Clinton supporter” wrote on a Yahoo politics message board. My point is that any discussion of Obama’s “skinniness” and its impact on the typical American voter can’t avoid being interpreted as a coded discussion of race.
Chozick insists that she didn’t intend her playful feature about Obama’s physique as potential electoral liability to carry any racial subtext. “I can’t even respond to that,” she told me. “That’s ridiculous.”
Disgusting raaaaaaaist.
Find out what else is now racist in the US here.
That fact that she denies being racist just proves how racist she is…
somewhat ott, but Whoopi Goldberg denounced someone she disliked on the Viwe as “skinny” (& for the life of me, I can’t remember who). I thought at the time, what kind of stupid insult is that? Little did I know that Whoopi is just a big fat racist.
I would love to “label” obama GONE and “label” me HAPPY!
But……obama IS skinny. he’s not fat!
I guess this is raaaaacist too.
And remember, there are 5 “A”s in raaaaacist! http://theothermccain.com/2012/07/31/there-are-still-5-as-in-raaaaacism/
Im only concerned that skinny man has parasites that are making him skinny and also eating his brain. Maybe a good dose of wormer . . .
