A white tavern owner in Marietta Georgia is selling a T Shirt with the image of Curious George (a monkey character) eating a banana. The caption on the shirt under the image reads "Obama in'08".

The local black residents are picketing the tavern and claiming ouright racism. The white tavern owner does not see it that way. He says the shirts are selling like hot cakes and he is donating all the proceed to charity.

Having seen a video of the shirt I would have to agree with the protestors that the message is blatantly racist.

The sad thing is that this portends a racist and divisive presidential campaign that America does not need when the message is supposed to be one of healing and bringing America together.
