I'm just - what? WTF? what is wrong with a woman who can say this, & who thinks Michelle is anything other than classy, beautiful & dignified?

“It will be refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified First Lady in the White House. I’m tired of seeing a ape in heels”

'This is the ultimate irony of the anti-“political correctness” crusader – they say something horrendously racist and then feel victimized when they have to face consequences for their actions'

Don't understand this at all. Do they see a different person? The Obama's are both sooo dignified. Can't they see it?

OhYouBadBadKitten · 14/11/2016 21:06

who knew it was possible to fit such a horrendously racist and sexist sentiment into so few characters.

Absolutely awful. Horrifying.

Incredible. She didn't just say this out loud she put it on Facebook!

Racist, she can't spell and dumb as well.

StealthPolarBear · 14/11/2016 21:03

Pickle I genuinely don't know about Americans (well with a few wxceptions) but do you really think there's a lot of that in England?
(Genuine question)

Looking at this report it's not at all surprising Sad Angry

'African-Americans make up about 4 percent of West Virginia's 1.8 million residents, according to the U.S. Census.
'About 77 percent of Clay County residents supported Trump in the Nov. 8 election. In 2012, President Barack Obama received 31 percent of the county vote when Republican Mitt Romney easily carried the state.'

'Last week in Kentucky, Republican Dan Johnson defeated incumbent Democrat Linda Belcher in Bullitt County despite a series of Facebook posts that depicted Barack Obama and his wife as monkeys. Republican officials, including likely new House Speaker Jeff Hoover, had called on Johnson to drop out of the race. But Hoover declared last week that Johnson would be "welcome in our caucus."'

It's really upsetting. I know people think like this, but at least most have the awareness not to say it out loud. That we are moving into a world where people feel they can...Sad

Showmeagain · 14/11/2016 20:51

Tis the left wingers and feminists fault! If we didn't try and make everyone so very bloody pc this just wouldn't be happening don't you know?

StealthPolarBear · 14/11/2016 20:48

Ah well. Let's brush it under the carpet. Examples are set from the top after all. Casual racism and sexism is fine.

seminakedinsomebodyelsesroom · 14/11/2016 20:46

Awful, shameful.

StealthPolarBear · 14/11/2016 20:41

I'm guessing this mayor and the official ate meant to be representing their constituents. All their constituents? This surely has gone far enough. Even the PC gorn mad brigade must be able to see how fucking shit this is.

msrisotto · 14/11/2016 20:31

Shit like this makes me want to hide under the duvet. So disappointed in people sometimes.

Showmeagain · 14/11/2016 20:31

And that is what black women have to face. If a fraction of people say it imagine how many people think it.

Sick fuck

WalkingToMordor · 14/11/2016 20:27

How full of hatred would you have to be to think like that never mind happily put it online? Sadly there are some very sick people in the world.

I think Michelle Obama is amazing.

CharlieSierra · 14/11/2016 20:22

I saw a video thing of Michelle on FB today, some of the comments underneath made me sick to my stomach.

StealthPolarBear · 14/11/2016 20:21

Didn't trump effectively call the us population idiots? And they proved him right by voting for him anyway.

BratFarrarsPony · 14/11/2016 20:20

They should both be sacked.
at once.

BakeOffBiscuits · 14/11/2016 20:18

Fuckinh hell! And the Mayor agreed with her.

I hope they both get the sack, though it won't change the fact there are many who agree with themAngry

StealthPolarBear · 14/11/2016 20:18

It doesn't in the screens hot

StealthPolarBear · 14/11/2016 20:18

Good point some Dyke. Her job was to smile,say nothing and wear heels.
Actually cam we convince trump to do that for the next four years? Probably safest plan.

RockyBird · 14/11/2016 20:18

The mayor wants to be arrested and jailed. The original FB message does say "an" though.

OohhThatsMe · 14/11/2016 20:17

It makes me feel ill, that someone would talk like that.

Maudlinmaud · 14/11/2016 20:17

What a disgusting comment. Who thinks like this?

TheUnworthy · 14/11/2016 20:16

I think what's truly terrifying is that this 'official' felt no need to keep her views hidden.

Goodbye underbelly hello front page.

StealthPolarBear · 14/11/2016 20:16

Ignoring the utter crap..."A ape"
Does this official need to go back to school for grammar as well?

RockyBird · 14/11/2016 20:14

Holy shit. I'm not surprised, sadly.

When Barack was first elected my friend in Texas said everyone there referred to him as "The Monkey". It is sickening.
