NEW ORLEANS -- An Uptown neighborhood was clogged with cars Wednesday morning as 60 people showed up outside a home on Calhoun Street, demanding the removal of a sign of President Barack Obama in a diaper mounted on a fence.

The people gathered outside the home just off St. Charles Avenue said they came to express their frustrations over the "offensive" poster.

In the crowd was former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, and he said he already talked to homeowner Timmy Riley -- but the sign hasn't been removed.

Many residents said the poster is distasteful and disrespectful to the president and to African-Americans.

However, views over the sign were split among neighbors in the Uptown community.

Insulting Hitler is offensive to me as a white person. :rolleyes:

Maybe I'm not up to date on this, is "diaper" like some racial slur?

No, apparently its considered racist because it has a picture of Obama.

Its just a pic of Obama in a diaper with the caption:
"Change me, I stink".
Please.

If someone had GWB as hitler a few years ago no one would have said a word.

I'm really sick of the race card.

How exactly would the media treat Ron if he started a Congressional White Caucus?

Race card players are racists. And dumb.

Call racism when there's actual racism. These idiots dilute the word.
