Racist "Obama Waffles" on display at the 2008 Values Voters Summit, and it now appears that a Christian university has joined the racism crowd, with regards to the presidential election.
A cardboard effigy of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was found hanging from a treee at George Fox University, in Newberg, Oregon, which bills itself as "Oregon's Christian University since 1891."
The university posted a statement on its website, but referred to the event only as the "Sept. 23 campus incident."
The display has been condemned by the university board of trustees, the president and the student government. President Robin Baker addressed more than 1,200 students and staff on Wednesday morning. “We will not tolerate such displays and condemn it in the strongest terms,” he said. “George Fox University is committed to becoming a place that more broadly represents the Kingdom of God – a place where students from diverse backgrounds come together to live out the teachings of Jesus in our world. We are all created in the image of God and placed in this world to reflect the character of God.”
A sign reading "Act Six reject" was taped to the effigy. Act Six is a scholarship program run by the college granted to 10 student leaders from urban Portland. According to the statement, most of those in the program are ethnic minorities.
Ah, those Christian values. Now we know for sure racism is one of them.
