The Patriot
When I look at this staged photography of someone (a parent I assume) holding a mask of President Obama in front of a toddlers face it pains me what it suggests. It gives a reasonable explanation why the child is crying. If the child is crying for another reason and the parent stuck the President's mask in the child's face to increase his anxiety that is cruel and abusive. The parent is deteriorating the magic the child is born with replacing it with fears without comfort, good reason, love, or explanation. Compact this one incident with other and similar incidents the child could be, or is exposed to you can only conclude the parent is creating fear within the boy.
On second thought this parent might be raising his/her child in a lily white town that believes its own myths about white supremacy and the degradation of the value of life within people of color. This very well be an indoctrination method commonly used since President Obama took office. Perhaps this is how the KKK keep their fires stoked and broiling within their offspring!
The third point of view may simply be the parent was taking the picture and making terrifying sounds and creating terror with the mask of the President as a prop. But, the very first thing that rose up within me was all of these thoughts in an instance, a flash and heard myself in the street vernacular say, "That's some bullshit!!!" - Gregory E.
