Black people will view any criticism of Obama as racist and will willingly deploy that smear tactic to disengage from any debate in which they can’t win:
Ceasar Romero. Jack Nicholson. Mark Hamill. HeathLedger. And now, Barack Hussein Obama. What do these five men have incommon? They have all played the Joker, the sadistic clown that isBatman’s arch-nemesis and one of the more sinister antagonists incontemporary literature.
Now, it would befair to say that all of the aforementioned people weren’t fully awareof the character they were portraying, but they have left an indelibleon the general public in how the Joker will forever be viewed.
BarackObama was the first Black person to portray the Joker, and he has doneso with gusto and disquieting brilliance. Merely digitally donning theHigh Prince of Evils makeup, Barack Obama has helped eradicate theiconic images of Heath Ledger’s imaginative depiction of the Joker inthe 2008 film, The Dark Knight.
Now, when people think of the DC comic bookvillain and Batman’s age-old foe, they think of Barack Obama and theJoker posters that litter cyber-space, major cities and collegecampuses.
Already we have discussed how comic books dealt with the Barack Obama’s inauguration,which many people believe to be the greatest event in human history.Black people find it unsettling that every comic book cover, instead ofjust Spider-Man #513 and a few others, have not made the first Blackpresident a regular character in EVERY comic book.
Obama, who received 96 percent of the Black vote nationally in the 2008 election, currently enjoys a 97 percent approval rating from Black people:
The President earns approval from 41% of white voters, 97% of black voters, and 58% of all other voters.
