Re: Is this racist?

No, leave it alone, that would increase it value and give it more significance than it deserves. How about making dolls or "ornaments" with the faces of famous white men and putting them on less flattering creatures - like snakes with legs and hands for greater effect - and calling them spiritual replicas.
Or is the white man going to win this game as well by cashing in first?

LOL, thanks unnos for the albino monkeys.

Sock Monkeys are supposed to be a common household toy for nuff people in the US. We did a gag gift office grab bag one year and smaddy get on sock monkey. It was the ugliest thing...

But half of the team knew about them and educated us on them.

Re: Is this racist?

No its not.
Though it does make use of historical racial stereotyping, the context in which it is being used &quot;item for sale&quot; lampooning a public figure is not racist.
If it is seen a public venue in which race is being used as a tool to debased, dehumanize and humiliate Afrikans or Obama, by engendering or fomenting prejudice based on race, then it is Racist.

[franksterr]

Re: Is this racist?

No, the NAACP was found by whites and is still control and financed by whites. The NAACP is the public organ of the Boule which is an organization that acts as a relief valve and conduct/channel for black political and social dissatisfaction.
