"This handout from Russian advertising agency Voskhod shows a smiling, cartoonish black man flashing the victory sign in front of the US capital building, along with the Russian slogan: "Everyone's talking about it: dark inside white!" Obama ice cream, anyone? Chocolate-vanilla ice cream is one of several Russian products being marketed using Obama even as critics call the ads racist."
It may be racist, but then the left sees racism in everything to do with parody or criticism of )bama.

Oh noes...
NEW YORK (AP) - Two New York City fried chicken restaurants in predominantly black neighborhoods are under fire for putting President Barack Obama's name on their signs.
City Councilman Charles Barron said Friday that he will organize a demonstration next week outside Obama Fried Chicken in his Brooklyn district. Organizers said they also may target Obama Fried Chicken & Pizza in Harlem.
"People from the community were calling me and saying they were outraged by this racist connection to Barack Obama and fried chicken," Barron said. "If you think that free speech gives you the right to insult and degrade us and stereotype us, then you've got a battle on your hands."
At Obama Fried Chicken & Pizza in Harlem on Friday, the "O" and the "A" had been filled in so that the awning sign read "Bam" instead of the president's name.

I didn't see anything about the race of the owners of the stores. Are they black or white?

Considering that they advertise halal food, I'd guess they're at least Muslim. Possibly Arab or African, but the lazy-ass reporter would rather badger the poor bastard that works at the counter instead of trying to discern that information for their article.

If they are Muslim, then I'd say their race was left out on purpose, and they are just covering it because people are upset, and they want to play up the racism.
