Racist Obama Bumper Sticker Goes Viral

As the GOP race for the presidential nomination heats up and the country continues to criticize President Obama for his efforts with the economy, political bumper stickers are beginning to popup across the country. The thing is, one of them features racist language against Obama. A picture of the bumper sticker can be seen in this article and it has gone viral across the internet thanks to Facebook and other social websites.

The political bumper sticker seen in the photo says ‘Don’t Re-Nig In 2012.’ It is written in white type with very large print so you cannot miss it if you drive by. The sentence published above appears on the bumper sticker on top of smaller print that says: “Stop repeat offenders. Don’t re-elect Obama!”

The bumper sticker can be purchased at a website called Stumpy’s Stickers, where it seems the bumper sticker originated. The company sells variations of the bumper sticker. There is another bumper sticker with the words ‘Don’t Re-Nig’ on it that has a caricature of the face of an African American man that has a missing tooth. Another rendering of the bumper sticker has the same phrase and a picture of a chump that says ‘Obama 2012.’ There is another bumper sticker with the picture of Ku Klux Klan members that says “The Original Boys In The Hood.”
