Title: Guess What An Obama Halloween Costume Is? Yep, RACIST!

Well, last week we discovered that saying Obama is a socialist is racist code. For quite a while we've been told that saying his middle name is racist. Saying he pals around with terrorists is racist. Not voting for him is racist. Wanna know what else is racist? Dressing as Obama for Halloween.... but only if you're a white kid. So says the Columbus Dispatch (Ohio), anyway.

This'll break the hearts of little Obamatons and their sycophantic parents all across the nation for this Halloween season, sadly enough. But, if you don't want to be considered a low-down, four-flushing racist, you little Obamites better not do it. Just say nO, kids. The Dispatch's Kathy Lynn Gray has saved the day, though. She's warned us ahead of time that Dressing like The One is racist as all get out.

Dressing as your favorite presidential nominee for Halloween could be socially risky this year if you're white and don't want to spend $20 for a mask.

But if Barack Obama's your man, do you darken your face to resemble his African-American skin tone?

The Dispatch story even quotes an Ohio State Senator that is sternly warning the trick-or-treaters that if they do it... well, he can't be responsible for the fact that YOU will have destroyed all the gains that blacks have made since 1964 just for costuming yourself like the Obamessiah!

I don't remember being 8 years old and wanting to dress up as a black politician.  :rotf:

Everyone in the office knows my political leanings -- I wonder if I dare buy an messiahnfuhrer mask and wear in on Friday. As a consultant, I might get in trouble....

But it would be hilarious.

I'm thinking you could put on an Afro wig and hand out food stamps instead of candy.

It's OK just as long as you don't drop to one knee, spread your arms wide and say "Mammy". :evillaugh:

Let's see, if one is WHITE and wears and Obama mask, it's racist, but if one is BLACK, it's OK ?!?!?!? Isn't that like the use of the "N" word?? Talk about double standards......
(Where's Zo on this ??) I bet he'd have something to say about this bullshit.

I wonder hat would be said if a black kid wore a McCain mask or dressed up like Sarah Palin.......     :crickets:

(Oh, yeah, the term "Uncle Tom" comes to mind for the latter scenario)   :whatever:

A friend of mine's little girl dressed up like Flava Flav last Halloween and she posted a pic on the VH1 forums.  She caught holy  :censored: from the black folks on that forum.
