The Commerce of Racial Slurs




Banking on racial slurs. Big time
Even the President of the most powerful country in the world, US, doesn’t get a break from the occasional sugar coated-racial slurs.
check out this photo of a worker putting up an advertising poster showing an image resembling U.S. President Barack Obama in Yekaterinburg March 31, 2009. A Russian advertising agency used an image resembling Obama to promote a new vanilla-and-chocolate ice cream, drawing the ire of human rights groups who said the ad was vulgar. The slogan on the poster reads: "It's on everyone's lips: the Dark in the White. The pleasant with the pleasant!" - REUTERS
Anyhow, here is the first couple, Obama and first lady Michelle arriving at London's Stansted Airport, March 31, for this week's G20 economic crisis summit, - REUTERS
