# I saw the picture. Is it racist because of obama, or the um bongo, or the cow tongue? Because I don't see it.

# So just because he happened to place Um Bongo in a picture of a black man that makes him racist?
It seems innocent enough to me.

# I don't think they actually do
I think that was just a rhyming thing for the cartoon advert in this country

# I think he just picked a popular juice drink rather than chosing it for any racist connotations.

# That seems unlikely
not that I'm interested in policing political correctness, but really I doubt that Um Bongo would have been just as easily substituted by Capri Sun.

# I think I'm misunderstanding...
isn't being racist saying something like 'I don't like black people because they're black'? Or has it changed its meaning to incorporate shopping and animating pictures of people who aren't white?

# Um Bongo was advertised as being drunk in the "Congo", which is in africa.
So voddy took the opinion that octo chose it because Obama is black, rather than it being a lovely juice drink.
