It didn't make me laugh, my lol was a lol of the whole thing, since they didn't spell Barack properly anyway, it shows that the person themselves are retarded and probably racist to a high degree.
One doesn't have to be a racist to be amused by a little harmless racism. Get a sense of humour, or at least suppress your desire to enforce political correctness. Not necessarily directed at you alone, just saying, there's no need to say anything if you don't like a picture posted, nor is there need to say anything if you did. I suggest we stick to pictures only, no "lol" comments, no smilies, just pictures. It's supposed to make people laugh, such comments usually do not.
It's like when you laugh at a retarded sign, the person that made the sign is retarded yes, but laughing at it doesn't make you as retarded as the creator, right?
You have to recognise that different people have different understandings of what racism (and sexism, and yadayada...) is, and their tolerances of such things are varied accordingly. For the sake of harmony it would be better to avoid posting content that might be questionable in this way.
I'm absolutely sure that Boris isn't racist and that the fool, to be mocked, is Bush. But the content in the joke is racially oriented, and therefore it would be better not posted. This way we don't need the mods to make judgement calls because nobody is offended.
I completely agree, I wanted to use an analogy because I don't like people who pull the racism card as a means to antagonize and start an intentional and avoidable arguement.
