I guess as long as people feel the need to make stupid jokes and have racist relatives this kind of crap will continue. Luckily I never had this sort of influence growing up. I had black friends as far back as elementary school and those two kids felt very much out of place in our ultra-white town. Sad jokes like Barack Obama planting the White House lawn to watermelons make me angry. I know that it's just some inbred hick's attempt at a joke but to dredge up painful stereotypes from many decades ago proves to me that this supposedly enlightened era we are in has a long way to go.MinnPics is buried in over a half-foot of snow.

Isn't that awful? It wasn't that long ago that I didn't even know what it meant, I hadn't ever even heard of these sick analogies. When I finally did realize this, I just felt ill. How stupid.
There are some who will never be enlightened. Nevertheless, progress is made despite them.
At least the guy quit. He could have said that he was suggesting they plant a victory garden at the White House.
