Dear Time magazine,
It has been six months since our President Barack Obama was elected President of the United States and I have long since lost track of the continual disrespect you have shown our President Barack Obama. Take your current issue which only has one cover photo of him. How do you justify that? If you would have given the issue a fold out cover, there could have been many cover photos instead of just one. But you refused to do so, racists.
Or take the accompanying article inside the magazine which refers to him as "President Obama" seven times and as "Mr. Obama" seven times. Only once as "President Barack Obama." "Mr. Obama"? I am quite sure that four years ago, you were not referring to George W. Bush as "Mr. Obama."
Don't try to lie, I am sure you never called him that.
But you are comfortable referring to our President Barack Obama as "Mr. Obama." How disrespectful!
"Mr. Obama"? What's next? Separate water fountains?
Yes, our President Barack Obama is a Black man and what of it?
Why must race be all you focus on?
"The economy is bad," was your opening sentence. Why? Because our president is Black? Is that what you were suggesting? That he what? Broke into the White House, stole everything in sight, fled on foot, stopped at Popeye's for some fried chicken and was out in the parking lot of a 7-11 drowning a forty? Your racial stereotyping is quite evident in those four words: "The economy is bad." Why must you perpetuate these stereotypes?
Our President Barack Obama is a good man, a learned man and, yes, a Black man. I think he is the best chance we have at curing cancer and adult ass acne -- the latter being a condition that especially strikes close to my own heart.
People are saying, "He was elected six months ago, when is he going to do something?"
Yes, more racism.
He's Black, therefore, he must be lazy!
Does the racism ever end?
Even in your story of our President Barack Obama you felt the need the run an advertisement for The Dark Knight. The Dark Knight? Time magazine, how stupid do you think we are? I would like to know just who paid you to run that racist ad?
How do you sleep, Time magazine, how do you sleep?
Myself, in footie pajamas, but that's another story and one that can be quite messy when I desperately need to go to the bathroom.
I am watching you and this letter is to put you on notice, Time magazine, that I and other of our President Barack Obama's subjects will not be silent as you persecute our Holy Father.
Your friend,
Sharon Smith
