NAACP Whines About “Pimped Out” Obama

Whining from the National Association of Colored People (NAACP) has forced a Hamden, Connecticut bar owner to take down his cardboard depiction of Barack Obama as a pimp.

“I was appalled when I saw the actual picture e-mailed over to me,” said NAACP state president Scot X. Esdaile about the cardboard cutout of Obama that has been adorned with ornate rings, a pink woman’s hat, gold teeth, an afro-pick and Mardi Gras beads.

“The thing is a negative racial stereotype,” said Esdaile. “I don’t know of any negative racial stereotype aimed at George Bush.”

Esdaile must have been asleep for the last eight years then, if he does not know of any “negative racial stereotype” aimed at the former president. Bush, who is of German heritage, was lambasted by comparisons to Adolf Hitler from smelly anarchists during his entire presidency. In additon, many African-Americans and other “people of color” insulted former President Bush for his European heritage.

Bob Severino, owner of the Side Street Grille on Whitney Avenue, has taken down the cartoon after getting strong-arm threats of picketing from angry blacks. “It wasn’t worth the headache. I have a family to support,” he said.

Severino still defended his Obama display as political satire.  “We’re not Russia yet. We’re not North Korea yet. We can still make fun of the president,” he said. “If I could have found a (Speaker of the House Nancy) Pelosi poster, she’d be up there too. I didn’t find it to be racist at all.”

While it cannot be confirmed as of this writing, it is believed that Severino may have been inspired by the rich satire of The Right Perspective‘s Frank from Queens, creator of the new holiday classic, “The Kwanzaa Pimp”:
