When I first encountered this advertisement for the Obama Golden Plate, I thought it was a put-on, a joke by a Republican wingnut, or someone like me who finds the election of Obama to have changed America into a perpetual Rock Concert. It’s real! I just saw it advertised on television! Someone described it as a way for white people to hang a trophy on their living room wall to show their friends how “non-racist” they really are.
