NOW YOU CAN HAVE OBAMA WAFFLES WITH YOUR AUNT JEMIMA SYRUP

Nothing surprises me anymore, but maybe this will be a shocker to you. On display at the Values Voters Summit, which was hosted by a conservative Christian group, were "Obama Waffles." And, yes I did say "Christian" group.
This picture to the left is not political satire, it is unacceptable racism. The phrasing and the imaging is reminiscent of the hatred and animosity towards African-Americans during the days of slavery and the civil rights movement.
While this product reminds you of the Jim Crow racist images that we saw back in the day, there is one problem. This is not back in the day, it is 2008 and we are still seeing things such as this in the United States of America. I guess some things will never change.
