That is right, and it may be why some do not get it. But they are entitled to their opinion and I respect that.

Explain the negative connotation about race that's so subtle.
As I have said before, when people start excessively leaning on words like stupid, idiotic and absurd, it's a sign of their weakness.
Like I said, maybe the guy drew it too try and be funny, just a lighthearted cartoon just like you said it was with no deeper meaning. Or perhaps he did it with a much darker meaning, like Mildsteel explained, how sometimes black can be viewed and the guy very subtly put it in a way so some might not see it right away. I have no idea what the guy meant which is why I can't just say it's racist or not because I really don't know the guy's intent.
If the SuperStar of the cartoon had been GW Bush, it could have been the same message.
There is an old joke that says if black is beautiful that my feces is a masterpiece.
The cartoon can be viewed as racist because it subtly plays on the notions of Obama's skin color, chocolate and feces.
Please explain to me how you can portray chocolate, feces and Obama in the same cartoon without lying about brown. It's coincidence, not racism.
Yeah, but I suspect the cartoonist would have used something other than chocolate and feces, and that is my point.
I have seen real racism, trust me.
So what is your definition of real racism?
I have explained why it is racist once, and I don't feel the need to repeat myself to those who wish to hurl words like stupid. Believe what you want. I have made myself clear.
I'm not going to give a definition. Racism is when you watch your father attempt to buy a house in a white neighborhood and the residents come and offer you a house somewhere else because they don't want you in their neighborhood because you are black. That is not a definition, but that is an example and is indeed one of the many things that I have experienced.

It's subtle and it's racism.
This is the dumbest accusation of racism at least since the claim that "pick up truck" was a dog whistle :roll:
Eh. I don't find it racist either, but just because a view is popular doesn't make it right.3 pages in this thread so far and the OP is the only one to find the cartoon racist. Speaks volumes about the OP.
