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.
