Obama YEEEE HAWWW

For some of you, this is your second time hearing about the confederate flag Obama situation. For the rest of you, hello there! Get ready for a strange journey! Right here we’ve got one real-as-can-be, genuine as the day is long Obama stars n’ bars flag. For most of you, the instant reaction is going to be of disgust: the flag of the confederate states of america has and will always mean slavery and racism. But for the rest, you’re looking at another thing: why is Shepard Fairey’s HOPE image sitting next to that symbol. This can’t be real!

Oh it’s real, mama, it’s really real.

Personally I think it’s really just a social abnormality, sort of a “what if these two things were together” sort of thing. OR another thing I think it could be, which I enjoy more: the stars n’ bars flag there is both a symbol of rebellion and strength as well as a sign of racism – what if it means that Obama is so great, so amazing, that even the KKK can get on board? Or maybe The South approves of Obama because of his policies regarding The South?

Yes that’s it.

Anyways I bought it. And here’s the unboxing.

    Personally, I think it’s possible that the entire point of this design is to show that the confederate flag is unquestionably a symbol of slavery and racism, which a lot of Southerners (but by no means all of them) continue to deny.

    How come?

    By contrasting the confederate flag with the Obama poster, it serves to emphasize what that flag is a symbol of, the same way that sudden silence emphasizes the previous noise. This is not just any Obama poster, this is the famous HOPE poster, which can be interpreted to symbolize overcoming racism and slavery.
