Did you think they took an actual picture with Obama being white and McCain being white?

8. That's exactly what I thought... John Edwards!
I bet you that's what they did... took John Edwards' overall profile and added Obamas' features. Then for McCain looks a bit like Trevor McDonald's head to me... but then I might be wrong sorry I'm bad with faces period.

11. Yes, I've seen the ad. But I'll answer here as I answered in the first thread covering this:
Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 06:37 PM by political_Dem
Race is an issue in this country. And, race is an issue in this election.

I think the artist is ignoring the two ton elephant in the room.

How we solve racism in this country starts by treating race, racism and race-relations seriously instead of ignoring it. Race should never be downplayed or minimized.

12. I think that is the whole point of the art. Self-realization based on one's reaction to seeing
McCain as black, for example. I think there would be plenty of people who tout themselves as non-biased and non-racist but would be shocked at their own reaction, I believe.
