Description
Okay. I remember reading and hearing about in school how 46 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream was that he would see a world where a man is not judged by the color of his skin but by the content of their character.It's a great saying, isn't it? Then why the hell does the media in 2009 feel the need to shovel this crap down our throats?
Fidel Castro was hispanic, does that mean that he's "good"?
Adolf Hitler was a strict vegetarian.
Anyways, the reason for this stamp is because my dream is that we'll stop saying that someone is automatically "good" or "qualified" based on their skin color. That obviously didn't happen in 2008 or 2009.
Feel free to share this stamp if you have need to or you just want to send a message that you're tired of hearing it, but
it and let me know. EDIT: Okay. My friend changed the first panel so it's MUCH easier to read. He also slowed down the text so you had more time to read it. I used a program online called Picasion to set the speed, but since I only have Paint for the panels, I needed to have someone do the shading for me and I am forever in his debt for both of these things.

Why, race is a factor because we want to end racism, of course.

Racism will never be ended until people take the advice of Dr. King and judge a man based on his qualifications and not the color of his skin, which sadly, did not happen with O'Bummer. Remember, racism can take any form, not just the same old white-on-black which the idiots in the media have been beating into people since the 1960s.

Um... because women and people of color have to work at least twice or three times as hard on EVERYTHING just to be considered, while white dudes basically just have to show up for the same job? And that the KKK tried a HIT on obama during the election? Or that people made serious lynching threats? Or people STILL make jokes about how 'the white house is gunna be covered in watermelons and chicken grease'? Or that huge amounts of the voting public in the primary and presidential election said right out on camera that they wouldn't vote for him because he's a -- words that are not repeatable here? How about the xenophobic 'birther' movement? Or that conservative pundits heard about various spending bills and immediately say that "it's reparations for slavery!' or say things like 'now all the black kids are gunna beat up your white kids on the school bus for no reason!' or that they say he's a racist? Skin color shouldn't be a factor at all. But it IS. Try reading 'Black Like Me'.

You've never apparently tried to land a job since the '60s. White males are discriminated against in ways that you would never imagine. I have been turned down for a job because I wasn't black, hispanic, or Asian and the people have flat out told me this. This has been the case for the last four decades. I had a job where I had to work up to 17 hours a day just to hold onto it as long as I did.
And another thing: I don't care what happened to anyone's race 150 years ago. My family wasn't even in this country until the early 1900s, so don't whine to me about how prejudiced someone is against you or your race. And I should get a job if I'm the most qualified person for the job, plain and simple.
Racism is alive and well in the 21st Century, but white-on-black or white-on-hispanic racism is the only thing that the liberals have touched on since the '60s and red-blooded, taxpaying, American people nowadays are sick and tired of it.
It's gotten so bad that our society has devolved to the point where the accusation means more than whether or not it's actually true. All you have to do is state "You're a racist", "You're a sexist", or "phobe" and people act like you're a pedophile or a leper. Look at the Duke Lacrosse Team if you need more proof.
Oh yeah, When you have these assholes in the Black Panther party threatening white people and calling them "crackers" while wielding machine guns in front of voting polls in Philadelphia and the Obama administration won't prosecute them, trust me, he's more racist than any President since Civil Rights was introduced half a century ago.
Both the left and right wing won't acknowledge the racism that exists in their parties. That's one reason why I am sick of both of them.

This is incredible. I just...
You're white aren't you?

I have an inherent problem with anyone saying that a person is automatically "good" because they're black or Hispanic. They're just as bad as the idiots in the KKK who think that white is all right.
I have two words for you: Idi Amin.
by the way, this is incredible... I just...
you're legally retarded, aren't you?

I agree; skin color shouldn't be a factor at all. This would be a good stamp to spread around, but it flips too fast and the black on blue is hard to read.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can slow down the flipping panels. That's not a problem.
The problem is that MS Paint doesn't exactly have an "Outline" feature, which is what I wanted -- black text with a white outline. I settled on the black because the Obama picture I have had him against an American background and the white text would have blended into the stars.
If you want to help with that one panel, I'll give you credit for it. I have the individual panels that were used to create this stamp.

Sure, I'll give it a shot. Were the original panels a larger size? If not, I can just extract them and it will be quicker.

Consider yourself credited, bro

Thanks. If you can download programs to your computer, you should use GIMP. It's far more advanced than MSPaint, it costs nothing and can do most of the stuff PS can do without having to deal with the Adobe corp.

really? That's awesome, man. I have only ever made a few stamps in my life, but thanks for the heads-up. I may start looking at that.

I agree, but "the first BLACK president", is a real honor to the African Americans.

Technically he's the first non-white president we've had.

Yeah ur right, u know its just hard for all of the people to describe different races when they don't wanna use their actual names. Not that I'm racist er anythin its just hard u know?

its just hard for all of the people to describe different races when they don't wanna use their actual names.
Which names? Name of the races?

Yeah, srry I wasn't specific.

Well, if that's the case, then it's not hard at all for him--he's half-black, half-white.

Oh yeah, i knew that in the back of my mind but all this makes me dizzy and forget the important things

There have been white Presidents in my life that I've liked (Reagan) and white Presidents in my life that I didn't like (George W. Bush). I'm not going to say "Well, he's white so I'll love him".
Again, I honestly think that the content of the character was more important than just "he's black so he must be good".

I know. in my school everybody got mixed up on who voted who. Funny though we thought my teacher, Mrs. Moore, who was black, thought she voted for Obama, and tricked us that she votes for McCain, then at the end she told us she voted for Obama. Thw whole class got very confused after that.

Thank you! It's true too. Race shouldn't be a factor in any of these decisions and I'm sick of hearing it.
