"German Fried Chicken: Tender, Juicy Obama Fingers Hit the Shelves By Charles Hawley A German frozen food company hopes to raise sales with a new product: Obama fingers. The tender, fried chicken bits come with a tasty curry sauce. The company says it was unaware of the possible racist overtones of the product. "

Does Obama have to OK everything with his name on it? Or since it is just the last name 'Obama' is on the box, and Barack is not, it does not matter.

Fresh nigger toes for sale!
I've got barrels of nigger toes ready to be sold!



I recently found out that a particular water fowl's real name was a Cormorant. I've called them "nigger geese" probably until my Junior or senior year in highschool (17 years or so).

no, it's nothing like that.


also, just because germans are unaware of a common stereotype in the US that could be associated with their product does not make them racist.
