more Fox Nation racism directed at the First Lady

Same 'ol, same 'ol...



First Lady Michelle Obama is helping raise money for the presidential campaign by doing photo sessions, at $5K a pop. This is completely standard practice, not unusual at all in an election season.

But at Fox Nation, the official Fox News forum, it’s the occasion for yet another deluge of vile racism, right out in the open, in your face. Again, we see the deliberately misspelled slurs to avoid racist word filters, numerous comparisons to chimps and other primates, comparisons to “Sasquatch” and “Wookies,” blatant misogyny, and vicious stereotypes about African Americans. And many of the most disgusting comments are rated highly by other users.

Personally, I think Mrs. Obama is the most elegant First Lady we've had since Jackie.

She does have the charm and elegance of Jackie, plus she has something else.

A university lecturer once recalled the cannibalistic tendencies among a certain tribe in Western Kenya. “This was long ago when communities still waged wars against each other,” she told an attentive class deviating from the normal literature lectures. “In this community, well endowed women were and are still highly regarded,” she said. During times of war and in the event of famine the women were often forced to slice off a part of their fatty bodies to feed the warriors. “In this way they had share of the ultimate victory because they fed the warriors,” she said” (So, this is why Obama chose a woman with Big Hipps)

This may also be the reason why so many Bla ck Women have such huge rearends. Over thousands of years, nature saw the need for larger hind ends and evolve so these women would have much bigger arses, to feed the troops.

That lecturer has a problem. I doubt a woman would survive to share in victory having had some fat sliced off under those conditions. They probably killed her first, that way they could eat the whole person, or long pig as it was known. Plus, if there was famine, the women and children would be the first to starve.

And, Huffy Poo. And, every other web site that doesn't monitor their comments sections. It's all the same please-excuse-the-crayons vomit you see everywhere else where they can get away with it.

They are white people who are sooo stupid, that they've been unable to succeed in an America that has paved a nice road for white people ... I should know ... I'm a white guy.

And my position is simple ... if you are WHITE in America, and you have not been able to become as successful as you think you should be ... your problem is not minorities ... your problem can most likely be found IN THE MIRROR!!!!

I know way too many white people who are total and complete failures ... and they never think the bad things that happen are their fault. Even when their problems are OBVIOUSLY their own fault.

Sadly, their racism is a defense mechanism so that they don't have to take responsibility for their own failings.

And the attacks on our first lady are a symptom of it.
