NAACP, Activists Deem Obama Joker Poster Racist

Fox Charlotte
September 29, 2009

A Richmond, Va., strip club is getting some heat from the local NAACP after it posted an image of President Obama with a white Joker face.

The Virginia chapter of the NAACP said the large poster hanging outside Club Velvet is a sign of ongoing racial hostility. The group held a protest outside the club on Monday.

The poster depicts Obama as the Joker character from the Batman movie “The Dark Knight” with the word “Socialism” in large, black letters at the bottom. The image first appeared on freeway columns and other public places in Los Angeles. The artist behind the image has been identified as Firas Alkhateeb , a 20-year-old college student from Chicago.

Some neighbors are also offended and want the poster taken down.
