put her next to some Republican candidate and they'd absolutely LOVE her. Of course she'd never BE next to those assholes, but still. The cartoon is right. She has done everything they say they want people to do, what they want mothers to do. Yet she's black, so it'll never, ever be good enough.
That Moochelle bit covers a LOT of hatred. First, Muslim. Second, implies she's a cow, which dehumanizes her - something that racists have always done to African Americans, even to the point of codifying it. It also demeans her as a woman, implying that she's ugly and less important than a man. After all, to them women should be at home, silent and subservient.
Cow also implies fat and lazy, something racists and mysoginists have always implied about "welfare queens." That one word says SO MUCH about Republicans. Any woman, person of color, feminist, equality activist who doesn't get out and vote for Obama is absolutely clueless about how low they will go and how dangerous the Republicans are to our most basic freedoms.
We MUST help them understand. Thank you grasswire for pointing this out.
