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! Check out other disturbing images from Mulligan’s Bar after the jump…
Disgusting.
originally by Wooow”free speech only goes so far unlike some other people think. just like the KKK can have a march and still get protected by police but as soon as that turns offensive and inflicts on other peoples rights the KKK’s rights as a group to march are gone just cause you have rights doesnt mean you can infringe on others”
Really? So since I find **** offensive we should shut down all the *** pride marches and “*** day” holidays correct? If you would go ahead and foward that request to your local represenative. Thank you.
