group darkened obama's picture to make him look...

"like a criminal thug." 

maybe it's because it's from mother jones (which i love, but have to take with a grain of salt sometimes), but this cracked me up.

  • I think it's a jump for them to say he looks darker, and therefore the point must have been to make him look like a thug. They are the ones who went to darker = bad. wtmf?

    if they had darkened just his face, then i would be the first one yelling shenanigans, but i think they tried to make the whole picture look more sinister by darkening the whole thing.  kwim?  if it had been obama with shaq's complexion up against a canary yellow background, i'd be all over that.

    Cause this is a fairly standard practice for people who don't like black folks.  And Jews.  And other races.
