Barnes and Noble had this as their store front display in Coral Gables FL in the Miracle Mile Mall. I am totally disgusted and I think it is important that we all find a different place to buy our books. Obviously this is a place of extreme ignorance. How far have we really come? God bless.
Please support the boycott and pass this e-mail to family and friends. It is so sad when you have been lied to all your life of who you are supposed to be because of the color of your skin. Some people just can't accept change. Fortunately, change will come with or without you.
Subject: Racism still exists obviously
Let us not be lulled into a sense of complacency, due to the recent political success of President Obama. Racism still exists in this country. Like all things, nothing is perfect on this planet, in this world. We have an obligation to be active on issues that simply cannot be ignored.
Along these lines we should all actively spread the word of how Barnes and Noble apparently feels about Black people or at least our President.
Please forward this to as many people you think should be aware of this and would be offended by this. Boycotting Barnes and Noble will show the economic effect of people who will not tolerate racism.
BTW. You might want to dismount that high horse of yours and do some research before calling a boycott. FYI: http://urbanlegends.about.com/b/2009/02/28/obama-book-display-at-barnes-noble-features-a-volume-titled-monkeys.htm

savoir faire - to know, to do
increasingly, life will throw up extraordinary scenarios that require greater adeptness and higher levels of skills than previous experiences required. so its in your best interest to actively seek to gain the knowledge, poise and maturity that you may be called upon to demonstrate in the future. you need savoir faire. savoir faire is a grace and ability to harmonize that will carry you through any event that life dishes up. it is most often learned through observing other people - sometimes if only to learn what not to do. so when someone acts bad, imagine how you might change the outcome by acting out the parts in your mind. imagine the outcome of a difficult situation where no one loses face, and where everyone walks away a winner. savoir faire is the inner voice that helps us to do the right thing, at the right time, for the highest good of all concerned. - girlosophy, anthea paul

What if a customer did it? You know it is possible.
