lemuffinmistress: So this just popped up on my facebook feed. Former First Lady Barbara Bush read to some kids at a hospital, and gave one of them a fist bump. My conservative friends thought this was just totes adorbs. Meanwhile, I was having flashbacks to the 2008 presidential election when Prez Obama fist-bumped Mrs. Obama, and the news media went fucking nuts and called it a “terrorist fist jab”. TL;DR: Black couple running for President give celebratory fist bump; are seen as terrorists and gangstas. Old white woman gives sick child a fist bump; is seen as adorable and “classy”. (Yeah, classy.) Hm.
