After watching the following video, I could only shake my head in disapproval.

I then asked myself:

  1. Am I wrong to find this video to be an offensive and possibly racist depiction of the future President of the US?
  2. Am I a hypocrite for finding humour when I come across 1 of hundreds of photos depicting our “current” POTUS (George Bush) as a chimpanzee? Should I be upset then, as well?
  3. Do we as Blacks or African-Americans give power to stereotypes when we allow them to offend us and illicit a reaction? Should we just ignore them?
  4. Can a Black Man ever be likened to a monkey for a comedic purpose without us being reminded of the historically racist nature of such depictions?

 What Do You Think?????
