Obama in whiteface; Sarah in blackface

I finally figured out what the “Obama in whiteface is racist” charge made me think of:
| The Sarah Silverman Program | ||||
| Makeup Artist | ||||

Claiming that Sarah Silverman’s ridiculous attempt at blackface was racist is as foolish as complaining that Obama’s remake as the Joker, a character with no racial connotations at all, is racist.
I’ve also thought of a nice new caption for the Joker poster: “The joke’s on you!”
