Barack Obama in white face, reminiscent of the old minstrel shows.
But everyone in LA is only seeing a Hollywood character.
A poster showing President Barack Obama as Heath Ledger’s “Joker” character from “The Dark Knight” is creating a stir on the streets of Los Angeles where the image began appearing over the weekend.
The Obama-Joker poster shows President Obama with white face paint, dark eye shadow and smudged red lipstick and also has the word “socialism” printed in bold, dark letters under the image of his face.
It’s unclear who created the image and who is posting it across the city. No one has taken credit so far. …
The character itself uses “The Joker” to paint Obama in these white face tones, but the “socialism” underneath is nothing but a convenience to distract from the obvious.
This is blatant racism.
Picture a white president in black face with “socialism” painted underneath.
Provocative, certainly. But sending a message of socialism in Los Angeles using a now renown Hollywood character, which just happens to be “The Joker.” Seems obvious to me. The character in the movie a maniacal, dangerous and deadly killer, making everyone in the city unsafe. Swiftboating on steriods.
It will be interesting to find out whose behind the campaign. However, if this is happening in Los Angeles, one thing’s for sure, the luster is off the rose.
