Where is the joke? I see ethnic prejudice!
Before this gesture, I had great respect for you.
I have purchased products from you and Alyson in the past.
Your attempt at humor on your blog showing the caption:
Driving Miss Hillary, speaks to me of Ethnic prejudice and
yes, even bigotry, I won’t spend my money with people
who disrespect me or my ethnicity.
I am an African American, Black, the going terms that
classify myself and people of my culture and pigment, hue.
You send me a notation in an email speaking of Bibles
and giving of Bibles in a missionary effort, well I find it
rather hypocritical to expound the giving of the gospel
when you do things that have the appearance of evil
and inflict injury by expounding social ignorance that
perpetuates prejudice.
The scripture says to avoid all appearance of evil. Your
gesture in the pictorial and caption suggest, that the issue
of a Black Man running for president against a Caucasian
woman somehow suggest to you the Driving Miss Daisy
movie, which was mainly about the bigotry and ethnic
prejudice of the south.
I find your association of Senator Obama with the Driving
Miss Daisy movie reference offensive and an attempt at
character assassination.
Mr. Obama is a well educated intellectual Black man. Not
only is he equal, but perhaps more excelled than anyone
on the political scene today. The only draw back that he
has is the deficient mindset and disrespect of individuals
who think like the caption you are sharing.
Mr. Obama is a servant in the cause of all people in the
position he holds as a US Senator. Slavery is abolished,
but I see ethnic prejudice is very much alive.
“I forgive you for your implied gesture of disrespect here…”
But, if what you placed on your blog is really how you think,
then please unsubscribe me from your list and I will make sure
to share how you feel with others, Blacks and Caucasian.
The joke (caption, photo) AIN’T (is not) funny, but such a
deficient mindset is very sad.
Someone signing their name as “Alice” with an e-mail address of talkback@hotmail.com left a comment. Alice, if you’re reading this, I tried e-mailing you but that e-mail address doesn’t exist. This forum won’t permit comments with non-working e-mail addresses. If you wish, try again with a valid address.
BTW, you missed the point. This posting is favorable to Sen. Obama.
Well, “Alice” decided not to respond. So I figured out a way to post her comment in spite of the fact that she left a bogus e-mail address.
I originally titled this photo “Driving Miss Hillary.” She thought that was a racist title. I deferred to her because, assuming she is being truthful about her race, she certainly knows more about what racial prejudice feels like than I do. So I changed the title. Although I did wonder if she thought the movie title “Driving Miss Daisy” was racist, and therefore Morgan Freeman, who starred in it, is a racist or somehow sold out to racism by making the movie.
“Alice,” you make what otherwise could be valid points. But posting a phony e-mail address damages if not destroys your credibility. Too bad.

Pretty funny picture.
I’m not sure what Alice thought, but I didn’t think it was negative. It was slightly tongue-in-cheek and a good one.
