The bumper sticker reads, "Don't Re-Nig in 2012." Plus smaller print below, "Stop repeat offenders. Don't' reelect Obama!" The sticker also features a picture of the Obama campaign logo crossed out.
Several viewers have claimed the style has been digitally altered. All things considered, it seems shocking that a person would proudly display an openly racist image on the vehicle in 2012. So, will be the image authentic?
Simply speaking, yes.
Will still be unclear will be the image of the automobile has been altered by any means, but an internet site called "Stumpy's Stickers" supplies the bumper sticker available for $3. And because the Root highlights, the site also other racially insensitive items on the market as well. The urban myth debunking site Snopes says it wouldn't yet determine the origins with the photo, but additionally points out the provision of other similar t-shirts and bumper stickers.
There's even an eponymous "Dontre-nig.com" website that seems to have crashed. Visiting the page raises a "Bandwith Limit Exceeded" warning message. I checked the domain registration service site WHOIS, which listed the website as of an anonymous owner who purchased the URL from the company DomainsByProxy.com, situated in Scottsdale, Arizona. The business specializes in keeping names of Internet domain owners private.
So that as one astute Facebook reader described, the bumper sticker isn't only offensive, it's pretty dumb. In the end, if you take the very best message at its literal meaning, not to renege in 2012, means to actually re-elect President Obama.
