LA Weekly seems to be alone in denouncing it as racism … “the only thing missing is a noose” … which while a bizarre stretch is also a little surprising, given the “SOCIALISM” part, which we were informed during the campaign is code for black, on top of the shocking use of white face imagery. Maybe this should be seen as a step forward in post-racialism. Or maybe, mindful of what happened to the last guy who screamed racism, the usual suspects are afraid they’ll be photographed drinking beer with Joe Biden.
