More Racism Toward The First Lady

I don’t know what’s more disturbing, the humorless “joke”, or Racist Baker’s mock spandex turtleneck. Yikes. In all seriousness though, what the hell is wrong with these backwards people?

Listen to the liberals and minority hypocrites. Non-whites are the biggest racists on the planet. By the way, it’s about time we told the truth about slavery. The blacks were captured and sold other blacks. And, it wasn’t just whites that owned slaves in the U.S. – so did blacks.

And education is a terrible thing to waste but using oxygen for you stupid racist minorities and liberals is an even bigger waste…

Hank, I agree. I don’t think it’s attractive or mature to compare people to animals, be they liberals OR conservatives (or anything else, for that matter).

So if you’re enraged, let’s break out the anger consistently, people, please.

Hank, it’s more dehumanizing because there is an actual history in our country of white people actually enslaving, raping, and killing black people and justifying it by saying that blacks are subhuman, most commonly using monkey imagery. You can’t simply pretend that context doesn’t exist and that it doesn’t make a difference in how people view the two situations.

Someone making fun of Bush, or any white person, as a chimp is seen as just making a mild personal insult, no different than calling someone a jackass or a pig. But someone making fun of a black person like that is seen as endorsing a racist theory used to justify the most shameful blights on our nation’s history.

This isn’t about disrespect to a First Lady or a President, it’s about casual approval of a vile slander used to justify actual horrific crimes.

Also, I’m pretty sure if someone invoked Nazi-era imagery against a Jew that they would be likewise criticized, even if the same imagery wouldn’t raise the same criticism if used against a non-Jew, so I don’t know what your point is in bringing that up.
