This is one of the many reasons why I rarely set foot in Marietta and I feel sorry for those of you who have to live there.  Mulligan’s Bar & Tavern in Cobb county has printed up racist t-shirts featuring cartoon chimp Curious George peeling a banana, with “Obama in ‘08″ printed underneath and are selling them in the bar.  The owner, Mike Norman thinks there’s nothing wrong with the T-shirts and calls them ”cute.” 

Norman said those offended are “hunting for a reason to be mad” and insisted he is “not a racist.”

Why picture Obama as Curious George? “Look at him . . . the hairline, the ears, he looks just like Curious George,” Norman said.

He said it’s just a coincidence that the character he chose for the T-shirt is a monkey. Norman said proceeds raised from sales of the T-shirts will be donated to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. (Source)

Y’all can keep walking around like racism doesn’t exist if you want to…
