Sarah Palin was not effigied because she's a woman, she was effigied because of her stance on homosexual marriage.
The two most public instances of Obama being effigied, the persons doing it admitted it was because he's black.
Also, up to the early '70's thousands of black men were hung because they were black. It was a hobby for many white southerners.
Not shot.
Not stabbed.
Hung.
They did it so as to leave a message that the noose was the best way out of this world for blacks in America. It was genocide.
Palin's effigy was similar to my high school hanging a hornet because of our belief that the Forst Hill Hornets suck at football.
