Racist Anti-Obama Relection Sticker
March 18, 2012 7 Comments
A photograph of a bumper sticker that features racist, anti-Obama language has gone viral on Facebook and other social networks.
The sticker reads “Don’t Re-Nig In 2012,” in large white type, above smaller text that reads: “Stop repeat offenders. Don’t re-elect Obama!”
The offensive design appears to have originated at a site called Stumpy’s Stickers, where it can be purchased. The site sells variations on the same idea, including another “Don’t Re-Nig” design featuring a caricature of a black man’s face with a missing tooth, a picture of a chimp that reads “Obama 2012,” and another with a drawing of several Ku Klux Klan members that reads “The Original Boys In The Hood.”

Several people here keep pulling out “freedom of speech” as a defense of this message, but these same people seem to forget that freedom of speech works both ways.
Sure, people have the right to say things that are offensive. I’m as liberal as they come, and I would fight hard for the rights of people to say things that offend me. However, freedom of speech does not mean that people are immune from criticism. Freedom of speech gives me the right to point out discourse that offends me.
Stop using “freedom of speech” as a free pass for people to say anything on their (tiny) minds. That is NOT what it protects.
The irony of course is the people who would appreciate the message these backward, inbreds are trying to spread most likely are too stupid to be able to read them.
smdh
i understand freedom of speech and totally support it but this just makes no sense at all. I thought we have passed this point in society. Judge people based off actions, personality and character and not by the color of their skin or where their from. Just plain ignorant.
smh smh
what is our world coming to when people feel that it is okay to brandish this type of foolisness/immaturity/hatred/evilness on their car and/or clothing. Goes to show you that racism is still and well in this “free” country
