Black Hawk, I'm going to take the liberty to respond to the question you asked Peace.

Harlem is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan, long known as a major African-American cultural and business center. Here's my
friendly amendment to Bruce's statement:

I would wear this t-shirt to any bar in Harlem, or any church in Harlem, or walking down any street in Harlem, and everyone would enjoy my sense of humour [humor].

Y       N

The word "everyone" in Peace's statement and my amendment to his statement has two built in assumptions:

1. that the person is White or at least non-Black or non-Brown who is wearing the Curious George eating a banana image with "Obama 08" written underneath that image

2. that people are Black {meaning African American or of African descent and/or the people are non-Black and non-Brown [in this context, "Brown" meaning Puerto Rican or of some other Hispanic [Latino] descent}

-snip-

The obvious answer is "N".
It would be rare for a Black or Brown person to wear such a
tee-shirt because we understand that such a depiction is meant to denigrate all Black and Brown people and not just Senator Barack Obama. However, "everyone" is probably too high a bar to cross.

After all, we Black people still have our Uncle Toms and our Aunt Jemimas who attempt to ingratiate themselves to White folks and who act in other ways that are detrimental to their individual best interest and to their racial group's best interest.

Also, I would assume that a good many White people in Harlem and elsewhere would also recognize the cultural tropes that are built into such a tee-shirt, and also take offense the attempt to equate that image with Senator Barack Obama.
