I actually find it clever commentary on why we as a society are not more outspoken about the politics of both parties shifting to the right. Objectively, Obama is more like what used to of been called a moderate republican.

It seems we as a society is more concerned with the form of politics, than it's substance.

Well said. Context is out of the window and in it's place is a polarizing blindness.

Which part is racist? Bush fist bumping the little kids? Or number 6? I'm confused ;)

They really had to make Obama the "black" one? I mean come on that has nothing to do with the rest of the damn article. I'm mainly speaking of the fist bump in which Mr. Bush was being 'cool' with the black kids in reference to how he's equivalent to Obama.

HE is, but it has nothing to do with the article. So what's the point of relating the two? And why did they use that image with the black kids when the only relation derivable from the context of this article, which it begs you to relate, is that both Obama and the kids are black. I mean really what gives? It's not as though all black people are liberals.

I don't think racism means what you think it means. Here's the dictionary definition:

rac·ism (rszm)

1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.

2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

Now..., how does the picture insinuates that Bush's character or ability is superior to Obama's?

If anything, the picture states that there's no difference between Bush and Obama.

I'm sorry. I just don't see the racism. I'm trying though. I even squinted my eyes like..., well..., I better not go there ;)

The image and caption related goes out of its way to insinuate that those kids somehow carry the same responsibility as the president for the president's actions/in-actions; an implication that is NOT attributed to the clearly white Mr. Bush.

If anything, the picture states that there's no difference between Bush and Obama.

No, it states that there is no difference between Bush and Obama and black kids by relation to Obama which is an invalid comparison.

I just don't see it.

Look, I could say that your picture is racist because it depicts a "black cat" and has a name that may be construed as being black. Also I can claim that the caption insinuates that in order for a black man to get a promotion he has to stop being a "black cat." You may not get the reference but in my days blacks called each other "black cats." Like the Black Panthers.

No I get the reference, but what you're doing is reaching. The image and it's caption felt really out of place, especially since there isn't any reason to use the kids in the article in the first place as a filler for Obama.

The correct term is ethnocentrism, as we are all one human race. So called racial differences make up no more than 3% of a person's entire genetic makeup. Viva La Liberation! ;)
