BellaSmiles, a member of the Etsy online marketplace, has come up with this creative piece of art which is described as "The coolest president meets the coolest wookie".
So it's ok for people to throw shoes at President Bush in effigy on the day he leaves office, but it's somehow "inappropriate" or "closet racist" to picture President Obama as a Wookie... Neat. Very, very neat.
I for one am convinced that Obama is from another planet, but he's too clean-shaven to be from Kashyyyk.
Is there such a thing as a "Tinfoil hat counter-racist"? I think the only racial links this picture has are there, only because you want them to be there. Can you please be more descriptive in your accusations next time, I am interested in your opinions regarding your personal perception.
I agree with Gauldar here. The picture is hideous no matter how you slice it as far as I am concerned, but to draw racist agendas from it is really a stretch. No where, in the history of man was it common to compare a black person to a Wookie or use Wookie as a racist slur.
thanks for the comments.
good or bad, whatever...i'm just glad my artwork has you wasting time.

You are so right. This is completely racist and offensive to Wookies.
Now, since it was so cool to call Bush a chimp, can we now call Obama a chimp?
No criticism of Obama now, deserved or not. He is, after all, the Messiah....
If you do, thou shalt be deemed racist.
Nice.
"Laugh it up, fuzzball" replaces "Yes We Can" as of today!
