Racist Obama T-Shirt Protest
Marietta bar owner Mike Norman says the T-shirts he's peddling, featuring a look-a-like of cartoon chimp Curious George peeling a banana, with "Obama in '08" underneath, are not meant to offend. Norman acknowledged the imagery's Jim Crow roots but said he sees nothing wrong with depicting a prominent African-American as a monkey. "We're not living in the (19)40's," he said. "Look at him . . . the hairline, the ears — he looks just like Curious George." About a dozen prostestors rallied against the shirts Tuesday afternoon, condemning them as racist and asking Norman, longtime proprietor of Mulligan's Bar and Grill on Roswell Street, to stop selling them. Marietta native Pam Lindley, 47, joined the protest after reading about the controversy online. "I don't want people to think this is what Marietta is all about," she added, motioning towards the tavern. "This is what some people think the South is still like. Marietta's come a long way but I guess it's still got a little ways to go." She said she'd like to see the city ban Norman's provocative musings regularly posted on a sign out front of the bar, which is near Marietta's downtown square. The loosely formed coalition of civil rights activists who gathered Tuesday say they will continue their campaign against Norman's "hate speech." But his defenders are just as resolute. Mulligan's is a refuge, they say, in an otherwise hypersensitive world. Here, smoking isn't only allowed, it's expected. "This place is a diamond in the rough," said Gene McKinley, a Woodstock engineer. "People here are genuine and honest. It's the one place I can go without having to worry if I'm offending someone." Norman said he's been he's been fielding calls throughout the day about his T-shirts, which he began selling in late April. "One guy in New Jersey wanted me to send him 100 shirts," said Norman, 63. He said he noted physical similarities between the Democratic front runner and the cartoon monkey while watching a Curious George movie with his grandchildren. Someone — "probably a customer, I don't know" — from Arkansas sent him the shirts, Norman says. He has no plans to mass market them. Not that's he's bowing to pressure. The Tennessee native figures he's providing a public service of sorts, reminding people they have a right to offend. "This is my marketing tool," he said.

Yes We Can - Barack Obama Music Video
**Description UPDATED 03/17/08** Yes, We Can! - Si, Se Puede! Song & video, featuring a star cast, by will.i.am of The Black Eyed Peas.

Yes we can. It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom. Yes we can. It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness. Yes we can. It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land. Yes we can to justice and equality. Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. Yes we can heal this nation. Yes we can repair this world. Yes we can. We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change. We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea -- Yes. We. Can. Celebrities featured include: Jesse Dylan, Will.i.am, Common, Scarlett Johansson, Tatyana Ali, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriquez, Kelly Hu, Amber Valetta, Eric Balfour, Aisha Tyler, Nicole Scherzinger and Nick Cannon Also check out this other great song and video inspired by Barack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyJ72iZ3tW4 .

We Are The Ones Song by will.i.am - Obama
people say Obama's words are just words... but... when was the last time "words" weren't important...???... when was the last time a great leader didn't use words to lead...??... when was the last time a person didn't use words to describe how they felt...?... when was the last time "words" weren't empowering...?... and we can all recall the last time "words" were used to divide us and install fear... Bush used words to fear us into voting for him the second time around... terror this... terror that... nuclear here... weapons of mass destruction there... and those words effected a lot of people's choices... "enough is enough"... let's rebuild... let's change ourselves... let's allow positivity to guide us... let's take action.... let's activate our passion... we are Americans.... and this is the first time in forever that someone running for president represents "US"... some say this is all excitement... I call it "proud to be an American"... some say this whole Obama movement is "cult like"... well... if it comes across cult like... then... the cult is called America... the Obama movement is connecting America. and it has made "US" realize our importance... the youth is excited and activated... adults are passionate and motivated... the elderly are proud to know the country they built is in safe hands... we are one... for too long politics has been corrupt... separate from the American people... with agendas that go against what the American people "need"... education... health... safety... jobs etc... politicians have spoken a different language... making it so the youth and poor people feel as if voting was only for the wealthy and old people... making "US" feel as if "we" had no voice... making "US" feel powerless... making it feel like if "we" did vote it wouldn't change anything... but wait... that did happen... some of us voted, and it didn't change anything... we were in the dark... we had no voice... we were powerless... because America was not a united America... and "they" spoke a different language... and they had an agenda different from our well being... correct me if I'm wrong... or speak up if I'm missing something... we want education, health, safety, and good jobs...right???... oh yeah... and "a healthy planet to live on"... but here we are... in a war... poor education... poor health programs... the dollar is down... the planet, polluted... the rich, richer... and the poor, struggling... with sky high gas prices to top it all off... and now even the rich aren't really rich internationally because our dollar is has fallen so far down... in our slumber... a very small few got really rich... because when you're sleeping... "it's hard to change agendas"... we know what happened in 2000 and 2004... but in 2008... it's different... we are awake... and there is a movement... and "it's hard to change a movement"... last time "we" didn't have a movement... America wasn't united... and now "United and "Standing"...for something... we know the power of "US"... and we have a person who represents the "U.S."... "US"... "we are the ones we've been waiting for"... I'm proud to be an American... will.i.am Tags: We Are The Ones Song by will.i.am Obama Yes Can |

Yes We Can Obama Song by will.i.am
I was sitting in my recording studio watching the debates... Torn between the candidates I was never really big on politics... and actually I'm still not big on politics... but 4 years ago, me and the black eyed peas supported Kerry... And we supported Kerry with all our might... We performed and performed and performed for the DNC... doing all we could do to get the youth involved... The outcome of the last 2 elections has saddened me... on how unfair, backwards, upside down, unbalanced, untruthful, corrupt, and just simply, how wrong the world and "politics" are... So this year i wanted to get involved and do all i could early... And i found myself torn... because this time it's not that simple... our choices aren't as clear as the last elections ... last time it was so obvious... Bush and war vs. no bush and no war... But this time it's not that simple... and there are a lot of people that are torn just like i am... So for awhile I put it off and i was going to wait until it was decided for me... And then came New Hampshire... And i was captivated... Inspired... Tags: Yes We Can Obama Song Barack will.i.am dipdive |
