Republicans Called Out for Racist Image on Facebook
October 28th, 2009
The Republican National Committee is under fire from bloggers and progressives after a member of their Facebook group posted a photo of the President of the United States eating fried chicken with caption that calls miscegenation, or interracial marriage “a CRIME against American Values.”
The creator of the image made reference to Loving v. Virginia–the landmark 1967 Supreme Court case that struck down laws banning interracial marriage.
Perhaps the person who uploaded the image on Facebook was inspired by the justice of the peace who recently refused to marry an interracial couple in Louisiana.
Finally, after being on their Facebook for close to a week, RNC officials removed the image on Tuesday.

It’s nothing wrong with our heritage food it”s part of our culture, there’s chineese food, Italian Food, greek food, mexican food ,soul food etc. What the big deal, like Zakeem said in the above statement, we use to feed white people for centuries. This is not meant as an insult, but it was only the turn of the century when white americans learn how to cook for themselve, they use to eat raw meats, even till this day many whites like their meats medium rare,” hey to each their own”. Let not overeact and be so sensitive to some people foolishness….
Revolution(aka) your comment is just stupid! Abam was black that is where the whloe problematic issue began. Thank you you people .
David, fefe,
U Can never satisfy racist people! If it was Bush you would have said it was a lack of disrespect! The bible says love yea one another you won’t get in to heaven for being racist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THE PRESIDENT IS BLACK HATERS !!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so sick of all of this racial bullcrap. Our President is BLACK! I am sooooooooo proud of that. But It felt good to see that at least one person on this blog commented the truth! (Karen Oliver) It’s funny how Obama became President and hasn’t even been able to get his foot all the way in the door and lean back in his chair before some idiots are blaming him for everything! Remember Bush messed everything up! As soon as he walked into office disaster hit! 9/11…Huge sign! But no, wait, then these idiots re-elected him? Obama has been doing a great job cleaning up Bush’s mess, u know, the same way Clinton cleaned up his father’s mess? I don’t care if your black white pink or purple, instead of the GOP and their supporters trying to bash Obama because he’s black and they’re mad he won, do the right thing and support him while helping him change this country for the better! Do the right thing and give credit where its due. Don’t create a disaster and put the blame on someone else. The GOP are so immature. Its like they’re in a room full of people and one of them farts and they look around like its not them and plays it off by saying its someone else. Grow up and have a true sense of accountability. You @@%~@* up and made bad decisions now help clean it up. Interacial issues shouldn’t even exist. Many of my family menbers are in interacial relationships… and so what? They are happy and have beautiful lives together and I wouldn’t trade that for the world. It has the same beautiful effect as a same race relationship. Maybe everyone should be in interacial relationships and all have lots of kids and eventually everyone would be the same in the far future so no one could say anything about race and racism would be over. Its always something and this racism %%?$ is so old. Its like watching the same rerun over and over again. All this over some damn chicken! So racist! How would they feel if an white person was on a picture looking anorexic with only a plate of macaroni representing how they think that’s a whole meal or main course? They’d be so offended. Grow up, we’re all human. Just like our hair is so diverse, so is our skin, DEAL WITH IT…

1) Congress spends the money,they voted to bail out companies.2) The President never promised STIMULUS checks and reprations,if he ever said anything about reparations John McCain would have been elected.Why some Blackfolk think we are going to get that money is beyond me,it ain’t going to happen.You should have invested your money more wisely than buy some damn rims.3) Please check your grammer and spelling because you come across like Buckwheat or Stymie of the Little Rascals.

Nobody is making stuff up for attention.All we are saying is that your post are both racist and STUPID.
WHEN I NEED TO BE ENLIGHTEN ABOUT HOW STUPID PEOPLE CAN BE I CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON SOME PEOPLE TO BLAME THE PRESIDENT FOR THEIR PLIGHT IN LIFE. UNTIL SOME OF YOU STARTED LOSING YOUR JOBS YOU NEVER HAD A COMMENT,NOW THAT THE SHOE IS ON THE OTHER FOOT YOU ARE UPSET. THE LAST TIME I PASSED A CHICKEN PLACE IT WAS MORE WHITE THAN BLACK IN THE LINE. YOU
WOULD DRIVE ACROSS TOWN TO GET SOME CHICKEN BUT THEN AGAIN WHO CARES. THIS ARTICLE SHOWS THE MENTALTY OF THE PERSON WHO PUT IT ON THE BLOG. WE HAVE FED EVERYONE AND NOW IT IS A PROBLEM. TO THOSE OF YOU WHO SAY NEGATIVE THINGS
ABOUT PEOPLE REMEMBER BLACKS HAVE BEEN SURPRESS BY YOU
FOR A LONG TIME AND WE CONTINUE TO MOVE ON.
even though this is racist that picture is funny as hell lol
SO WHAT! The president is eating chicken. All of us who eat meat mostly eat chicken (all races of people).
I AM SOO ASHAMED THAT PEOPLE CAN’T ACCEPT THAT THIS GUY HAS ACHIEVED A LOT EVEN BEFORE ONE YEAR AND JEALOUSY CAN’T ALLOW YOU’ALL TO APPLAUD HIM BECAUSE HE IS BLACK,BUT IS GOD THAT MADE IT THAT WAY HE GAME HIM WISDOM AND YOU CAN’T TAKE IT FROM HIM….
PEOPLE- 1. There is alot of forgetting that we were already in this fin. mess long before Pres.Obama YES PRESIDENT OBAMA -I have never seen such disrespect for the leader of our free world and as much as everyone likes to belive RACE ISSUES dont exist anymore THEY DO some of us experience it and are so used to it they dont even relize its being done. 2 the man was eating chicken and the gop was trying to be funny not caring that they were basiclly calling him a typical chicken eating N***A the press and everyone who saw it should be affended but just because he is a black man and the 1st black pres. no big deal the only thing I wish our President would do is get fed up with BS and call things for what they really are and DEMAND RESPECT. i MEAN REALLY, PEOPLE ARE UPSET BECAUSE HE WANTS EVERYONE WHO WANTS HEALTH CARE TO HAVE IT, REALLY PEOPLE ARE MAD BECAUSE HE WANTS A PUBLIC OPTION SO INS. AGENCY HAVE TO LOWER THERE PREM. JUST TO COMPETE REALLY PEOPLE ARE MAD ABOUT THAT AND TO ME IT SEEMS LIKE HE WANTS SICK OR HEALTHY PEOPLE TO BE TAKEN CARE OF AND NOT LET IT COST YOU EVERY DIME U GOT REALLY HE WANTS US TO BE HEALTHY AND SAVE US SOME MONEY. TO ME ONLY AN IDOT OR RACIEST WOULD SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
I believe that the the political party that freed the slaves and was the party for black people has become so corrupt and ugly. Then you have Michael Steele and Jesse Peterson who arent fit to drink the dirty bath water of great men like Frederick Douglas and John Brown. Totally pathetic, worthless trash. The GOP needs to get off the Ronald Reagan/Barry Goldwater trip and purge the ignorant trash from Rush to Sarah Palin and get back to the basics of what they were all about. These Republicans now are too soft on people who want to put this ugliness out and say that represents Republicans; they even cater to that and this whole USA as a white mans country. The politicians have done a poor job of putting these imposters in check. Also, the Republicans have reduced their platform to this mindless tirade against “BIG GOVERNMENT!” and “NO TAXES”. Yet, these policies have proven to be failures, like the GOP is now.
I’VE NOTICED SO MANY RACIAL INCIDENTS LATELY SINCE OBAMA BECAME PRESIDENT, IT’S TRULY FUNNY THAT WHEN WE HAD A WHITE PRESIDENT HALF OF THESE RACIAL INCIDENTS WERE NTO BEING PAID ATTENTION TO, NOW ITS EVERYDAY & ITS GOOD BECAUSE I’M SEEING THR TRUE COLORS OF THIS COUNTRY, THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN IT ARE SCARED HALF THE TIME OF THEIR OWN RACE & THE OTHER HALF OF THE TIME SCARED OF THE OTHER PEOPLE.. SO WHO DO YOU TRUST?
