Michelle Obama Ape Photo

Of all the parodies of pictures of other first ladies who happened to be white but subject to no less humiliating pictures (search pictures of Barbara Bush - who was lampooned as prostitute, or Laura Bush - who was portrayed going to a halloween party as man who had been run over by a car, skewering her over a trage in which when she was a minor, had been in  a wreck that cost a person their life?), where was the outrage? Making her look like an ape is automatically racist? How about just offensive? What about if it was a dog, or maybe a snake? I think that the self hating, back whipping white liberals would line up to see who would be the first to yell RACIST, because she happens to be black. I won't even mention the media whores Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton, or even worse, the Muslim racists The Nation of Islam, of which a who has more in common with the KKK then with the Muslim religion. They are anti-Semetic, anti-white, anti Asian, and anti-Christian. If the KKK registered as a tax emempt organization, the reaction would be instantaneous! In the last election, 90% of blacks voted Obama, 52%white. If those numbers where reversed the scream of racism would be heard in every news outlet, magazine and neswpaper as well as from liberal Democratic pundits of both races. What's amazing is that that statistic still screams racism, but God forbid you call, and pardon the pun, a spade a spade and point it out. Excuses of 'they are just catching up to whites' or 'historic choice' or any other such nonsense belies the simple truth. One set of rules or conditions, cannot be applied to the advantage of one segement of society, while exluding all others. This simple rule was the foundation for desegregation. As Harry Truman once said (and who's wife was the victim of many vicious media attacks during his presidency), 'If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.' in response to a question about media criticisms. That still applies today, sixty years later. The picture is satirical in nature and meant to spark controversy. I doubt seriously if that the picture had been one showing Laura Bush as slave owner, or maybe in the shape of a 'cracker' or  had the words, 'peckerwood' superimposed over her face, that even one person would have yelled racist or scaring Google into apologizing. C'mom peeps, get a life and quit playing the race card every chance you get if something happens to critisize of make fun of King and Queen Obama.

I agree with you totally Elizabeth. This is a spoiled and brat-like nation of selfish individuals who only think about self. Heaven forbid they should do anything that would inconvenience them for even a moment. But, you hit the nail 100% on the head - money, that's all these greedy rich folks understand, and the only leverage-tool we as ordinary citizens have to speak for us. Amen and Right On!

Google has nothing to do with the michelle ape photo. It is the 'searches' that made the ape photo of michelle such a big hit. BTW, that michelle ape photo has been circulating the internet for over a year. Why are you so upset so late in the day about it!

play the race card some where else cry baby

I think ur being ridiculous to change your search engine from google to yahoo just because it threw up this image. a search engine gives u search results. just coz curious people keep looking at this image keeps it on top.moreover, there was never this media outcry when many of the ex presidents and their wives were prtrayed as a lot worse than apes.fine, blacks were discriminated against for ages. but come on. you have to outgrow that. obama himself said that the blacks are a lot responsible for their current condition. agree ?and everytime u start howling when some an funny pic gone wrong pops up, you just further become the butt of jokes.ps. am not white or black. am brown.

Are you referring to Animal Farm? If so I would say your point is contradictory. If it were 1984 then the pigs would not have taken over the house, they would have continued with their path to communism (which I assume you are saying Obama is doing). If they had taken over the house and you are comparing Obama to the pigs, then he would be just be replacing the old regime with a new one that does the same thing.So Obama is just like the old regime, while radically going towards a new one. Doesn't work tha

Indeed. Heeeeeelp the Nanny State is coming to get us!!!!!!!!!!
