This Is How They Do Obama




I rarely write about politicians on here. I avoid it because of all the mess!

But this was really interesting. This image has been circulating through social networks with the claims that various Shell gas stations had an Obama doll hanging from a noose on display. The claims were from Florida, Texas, Mississipi and so on.

One news report claims that this was a hoax. They say that this photo was actually from a novelty truck that had ALL politicians with a noose around their neck. But that only the photo of Obama was taken and posted on the internet has a national prank. How do we know if this was a prank or not?

It was apparently taken in North Carolina and the two owners of the Shell Gas Station on Bay Meadows Road near Interstate 95 all the way in Jacksonville, Florida deny involvement.

Various figures were screaming RACISM when this photo emerged. Some say, "Don't be so quick to scream racism"... Ok, true. This may all be a hoax.
BUT... being the only black president the U.S. has every had, has Obama's counterparts' race ever experienced lynching because of their "whiteness"?
Yeah I didn't think so.

So when a single image of an Obama doll appears on the internet, you get why people are screaming racism right? Prank or not... Someone made it, hung it, displayed it...

I hope that this tasteless prank urges all the Obama supporters to go and vote today.

Don't vote for the candidates solely based on their race. Vote to support the candidate that you believe will make a positive difference.
