Gawker noticed this peculiar error on the Washington Post’s website yesterday. While this unintentional comedy was ultimately harmless, for some Obama haters the idea that he’s a secret Black radical who’s indistinguishable from Malcolm X (politically, anyway) probably isn’t too far off from what they really believe. – NewsOne Staff

From Gawker:

Violent black radical Barack Hussein Obama X is learning about wind energy in Iowa, The Washington Post reports in a most unfortunate photo caption error.

Text continues after gallery …

It appears Obama and Malcolm X were actually slated for separate stories. The error has since been repaired.

    From working in media, I know for fact certain things are NOT a mistake but intentional. This photo is and was suppose to spark hatred towards President Obama. Many folks think that Malcolm X is this radical black militant and don’t know the full story INCLUDING Black folks. So when you have the Washington Post, Sarah Palin, and the immigration debate going on, we are opening up racism and hate the like that many have never seen.History repeats itself.
