“Obama Isn’t Even Black.” Don’t Re-Nig Seller Says Sticker Cute Not Racist

Paula Smith, the seller of a racist bumper sticker, says that the racist bumper sticker she’s selling isn’t racist, it’s “cute,” and claims President Obama isn’t black. The bumper sticker, images of which which went viral a few days ago — although we here at The New Civil Rights Movement reported on it three weeks ago — shows an Obama logo with the words, “2012: Don’t Re-Nig.” The assumption being that ‘nig” stands for the “n” word — which the seller claims she doesn’t even use. No, she just sells it and makes money from it. And, after it went viral, probably a lot of money.

Forbes reports:

Paula Smith of Hinesville, Georgia has a company called Stickatude.com. And they’re selling their own version of an anti-Obama bumper sticker that reads “Don’t Re-Nig 2012.” Ms. Smith told me in a telephone conversation on Saturday afternoon that the bumper sticker has been in their inventory since June 2010, but just in the last few days it’s started selling. The price is $3. Ms. Smith insisted that  the bumper sticker is not racist. I asked her about the “N” word, for which “nig” is the shortened version. “According to the dictionary [the N word] does not mean black. It means a low down, lazy, sorry, low down person. That’s what the N word means.”

…

Where did Ms. Smith find the sticker in the first place? “We just found it on the internet, and thought it was cute. It’s been up there since he’s been president.”

…

Ms. Smith said she is not racist, she just wants Obama out of office. She tells me she doesn’t have a preferred replacement candidate. “And besides Obama is not even black. He’s got a mixture of race. It’s his choice of what his nationality is. I’m a mixed breed. I call myself a Heinz 57,” she says, referring to an ancestry that’s part of French, Scottish, and German.

“I just want someone that’s going to help the United States and not give it other countries all the time. And stop giving the immigrants the benefits that most Americans inside their own states can’t even get because they’re giving it others who don’t even live here as an American.

“I do find it amazing and entertaining that one of our stickers has become a racist thing,” Ms. Smith told me. I asked her if she thought the “N” Word was a bad word? “No,” she said, ” because I don’t use it. I have kids here around me that are black kids. I call them my own kids. I’ve helped black families…to guide them in the right direction.

This so remind me of Alexandra Pelosi’s video she showed on Bill Maher’s show two weeks ago…

Lastly, this isn’t south-bashing; it’s stupid-bashing and racism-bashing.
