New Racist Anti-Obama E-mail (hopefully not) Coming to an Inbox Near You!

My friend’s co-worker actually received this at her work e-mail address. From a vendor. Isn’t that crazy? Someone she barely even knows - someone who means to do business with her - is sending her this filth. The person who sent this must think everyone’s on the same page when it comes to race-hating. Which is scary, because it leads me to believe that everyone around this person is on the same page.
I’ve never seen this particular e-mail before. I think the subject line is trying to be clever or something with the Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner reference, but it seems the person who wrote it didn’t quite understand what s/he was referencing.
And the photo attached to the e-mail (a huge attachment, I might add - shown below) works hard to be beyond offensive. It manages to evoke the painful image of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, poke fun at African-American culture, depict Black Arabs as dirty and dusty, suggest dark-skinned people are nothing but animals (who can miraculously survive packed so closely together) AND drum up the newfound American fear of refugees.
I.e., These people are taking over our glorious country! And Obama’s their main man! So if he gets elected, they’re all hear to stay. Forever. Regular Americans will become the second-class citizens!
Sick and sad.

It’s terrible that someone sent something racist like that.These type of uncalled
for racist attacks are unfair to Obama.And unfair to the American people also.You see
the strategy of these bigots is to say stupid,racist things,so Obama will then respond
by taking ultra conservative positions in order to try and please these morons.For example
because of these racist attacks on him,Obama in order to please these bigoted voters
has now taken a position on affirmative action that is so reactionary that it
pleases the far right Goldwater institute.I don’t know what he said to them.But
if Obama really is still a public supporter of affirmative action,Time Magazine
wouldn’t report that the Goldwater Institute likes Obama.
I think there should be some diversity programs for African-Americans,Latinos,
and women.But there also should be some government assistance for poor whites as well.
And I’m considered to liberal for the Goldwater institute.So imagine what Obama
must’ve said if they now like him.
Then,eventhough there’s nothing wrong with it,Time magazine also reported that Obama
had a college friend from Pakistan.The racists started calling Obama a Muslim.Of course
there’s notihng wrong with being of the Islamic faith.So just how Obama moved to the
right on Affirmative Action to please the bigots.Obama in response to bigots accusing
him of being a Muslim has now called for possibly striking alleged Terrorists
in Pakistan.I’m supportive of using Economic Sanctions and other pressure
to keep Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.And while I want to pull our troops
out of Iraq.I’m in favor of keeping American troops in Afghanistan.I’m not soft
on Terrorisim.But Pakistan isn’t Iran.They are an ally of the U.S.And they happen
to have a nuclear weapons program.As well as a large population of
religious Muslims who hate America. So bombing even one alleged Al Queda camp
inside Pakistan could create chaos.
So if there are Terrorists in Pakistan,I’m for having American troops sneak over the Afghanistan/Pakistan border and grab them in the middle of the night.But it’s dumb to
call for a public bombing of Pakistan.You know Ryan if these racist idiots send an
e-mail about Obama’s Grandparents Social Security might be the next thing he moves to the
right onLOL.
