Not offensive to me... is it supposed to be? 
 
I'm out of the business of being politically correct, and I accept things at face value. Despite being a vigilant Barack supporter, I don't want to get into a position where we can't criticize the brutha. He might be Black like "Me", but I don't think it's a good idea to put him on such a high pedestal that we can't take jabs at him, or hold him accountable for his decisions/actions. 
 
I don't think it's necessary to create a situation from nothing... but to extract racism out of this is a stretch for me. Am I "less black" for not jumping on the racism bandwagon?  
Likely not, but hopefully that just translates to me being a critical thinker - than just some nigga that get's spoon-fed a timeline to react to something branded as racist. 
 
Frankly this type of imagery is usually designed to do just that... make people do something they're unaccustomed to doing... use their brainz! Maybe that's a good thing, cause we haven't been energized in a long time!
