man so much conterversy over something as simple as comparing Obama to Curious George. whii i why it may be misstooken for racist, you have to remember Many people compare bush to a monky as well, and he is white. anyway i think its a cute shirt, and even though the guy did not have permision to use Curious George should not be misstaken for racist. would it help if it was a golden monkey? would so many people still think it is racist? i gess it just depends on the person, and if they look at the intended overall meaning and not just jump right to conclusions.(this is what my dad tells me to do and now i use reasoning in my decisions, not just one-siddedness.)

Well, what does one expect in Georgia? There are some exceptions, but by and large, the south remains full of racist, sexist, homophobic fundamentalist rednecks.

I hope the individual who owns the copyright on Curious George takes every cent that bar owner has!

how would you feel if a black resturaunt owner put george bush or hillary clinton in a KKK gown and put them on a t-shirt? There are just certain things that you dont do and depicting a black man as a monkey with a banana is offensive to blacks.PERIOD!!!!!

Racism is so gay.

[laughing my ass of in GA]

I am an African-American female. I find the whole thing hilarious. I believe that my people takes things too literally at times. If the guy is being racist, that is his business. Everyone is a racist or sexist or homnophobic to some degree. And if you say you aren't, then you are a liar. Plain and simple.
