No question that it plays on racist stereotypes.

I agree and was bothered when I saw it. I was curious if others would agree with me or not. I know some think nothing is racist when I tend to me more bothered by many things. I have Black cousins. With that said I look at stuff like this and think how would they feel if they saw this type of stereotype? It saddens me. I did not want to even post it but I was curious what others thought because many are saying it is not. I saw another picture that bothered me today regarding Obama and I feel that it needs to stop.

no problem I just wanted a few quick opinions, I was in SHOCK that some other people thought there was nothing wrong with it. I dont think there is any humor in it nor do I think that the white house jokes about this stereotype is funny, I think it is racist or hidden racism and shows a nasty side of people. It is amazing people can say it has nothing to do with color then make jokes and pictures like these.
Whether I agree with Obama or not I have ZERO tolerance for ANY racist remarks whether joke or not, it just is low class not to mention un christ like.

Anyway thank you all for your honest opinion.
