[Iron Woode]

saw that on 7 Detroit News last week. People thought it was racist and should be recalled.

I just lol'd at it.

According to the CNBC show, Walgreen's was the only retailer to pick it up, but then dropped it.

[zinfamous]

Racist? My knee senses nothing, not even a tingle.

 

[Crono]

Wasn't there a Chia Clinton?
Anyway, it's not racist. Opportunist, yes; racist, no.

The cost of waxing it wouldn't be worth it.....

I want two of them. One to plant cotton on, and the other to grow watermelon seeds on.

Looks more like Harry Reid, especially the "happy" shot in the bottom right.

There is a very long history of comparing blacks to animals. With that context in mind, yes it is racist.

 

[TehMac]

There's a long history of comparing the Irish to animals as well, where was McCain's race card?

It's not the same, and you know it. In the US, Africans have been bought, sold, bred for physical strength and exhibited in zoos (as recent as 1906, google Ota Benga).

Once they put a noose around his neck or a grape soda in the hands of Chia Obama, we can speak.

until then, I see no racism.

Dumb. For years Chia and Walgreens both sold Chia Mr.T and Chia head; but somehow chia obama is racist. How liberally dumb.

Lighten up. Get that chip off your shoulder.

You're talking about something that happened over a hundred years ago.

 

[LilPima]

They really don't sell them anymore? I know some many hardcore fans that need one of these in their life

 

[Jeff7]

Chia Frobama?

 

[Kelemvor]

Just saw this on an As Seen on TV special on CNBC. I guess it's been pulled from Walgreens already. Maybe they'll go for a lot on ebay as collectors items.

What about the fact that its pretty much accepted that more whites have been traded as slaves than blacks?

What about the fact that the Africans themselves started selling themselves off as slaves to Arabs, and then the Euros caught on 500 years later?

 

[spidey07]

That's extremely racist.

-edit-
Anybody that thinks this is.

In what context, the trying to find racism in everything? I can see that.
