Other presidents were made into chias and I haven’t heard any bitching that those are offensive. I think people want to be offended by it just because he’s black, and God forbid you ever do anything with a black person’s likeness that could even slightly be mistaken for sarcasm or humor. See the shit? See the fan? Wait for it…
I can just imagine the backlash if money were changed, and suddenly Obama’s face was on the one dollar bill. There would be all kinds of “WTF? He just rated the one dollar bill? Does that mean you think black people are poor/cheap?” And that would happen.
People find too much bullshit to be offended over these days and all the PC garbage pisses me the hell off. So Obama is now a chia pet. Does that impact your life in any way? Hell no.
For the record- I think chia pets are completely stupid anyway, but if someone else wants to spend their money on it, I couldn’t care less.
