'Planet Of The Apes' Comment Towards Michelle Obama

[Thirty6BelowZero]

Can you show where any black people ever called George Bush a chimp?

You ask this in a response to a thread, amongst anonymous posters, where a Hispanic on a Mexican channel said Moochelle looked like a PotA character.

Why is it always ****** that gets blamed?

****** Bulger go blamed? Why people take your posts seriously is a puzzle

Apparently you just did. I didn't capitalize the "w" on ****** anyways, thus eliminating the chance of it being a proper noun or name. Why you bothered responding with failed rhetoric is the real puzzle.

name the main stream media host who did what you claim?

I never mentioned mainstream media, did I?

Exactly, because if you did you'd be exposed as a numbskull.

A media figure got in trouble for the ape comment. You then go against what the 'left' said about Bush. What are you suggesting, either the left get fired or that the host keep their job and the left get a pass?

Nice straw man argument....moron. Now sit down

OMFG!

You don't have a clue what a straw man argument is either?




good gawd, you're precious

Yeah I do, sit down, little one. I'm already weary of your nonsense

The elephant in your room:

freedom of speech does not mean freedom from the responsibility of what you say.

The justification is that it is acceptable to call Michelle Obama an ape because George Bush was called an ape

Now, if it were black people calling George Bush an ape there might be some justification of hypocrisy.

I thought we were all created equal. So now it matters, even though you can't show where a white called Moochelle an ape, what color you are???

We're supposed to be past all that, and the left are supposed to be the main ones driving us past. Looks like you guys left the car in neutral on the wrong side of the hill because now we're further back than where we started in 2009.

A white hispanic called the First Lady an ape
A white hispanic got fired for it

There is justice in this world

Univision host Rodner Figueroa was fired Wednesday after comparing first lady Michelle Obama's appearance to that of someone from the cast of the "Planet of the Apes."

The Emmy-winning host was dismissed over the racist remark said during his live segment on the entertainment news show "El Gordo Y La Flaca," HuffPost Voces first reported. Univision confirmed the news via e-mail earlier today.

Figueroa's comment came while talking about make-up artist Paolo Ballesteros' viral undertaking of transforming himself into female celebrities. The fashionista, known for his critical "Fashion Police"-style remarks, analyzed Ballesteros' transformation for Michelle Obama with an original photo of the first lady beside it.

"Mind you, you know that Michelle Obama looks like she's part of the cast of "Planet of the Apes," the film," Figueroa said.

I applaud Univision for firing Figueroa so promptly. Such racist disrespect for our First Lady should never be tolerated.

Racist Republicans should not be tolerated, and aren't. Racist liberals like you should not be tolerated, and are

I'm not a racist - but I do like to play devil's advocate...

Yeah, you are

Whatever you say. You seem to know all things...

Whoever made this obviously hates white people.

Can you show where any black people ever called George Bush a chimp?

I would also like to see any example of someone in the media call the bush boy a chimp on public TV.

It didn't happen.

You're such a deluded fool you end up using racism to try to condemn racism!

Why does someone have to be black to make calling Bush a chimp a racist act? Only black people are racist? Does racism only happen between white/black person interactions? Are people incapable of racist comments, thoughts, or actions within their own race? If a black man calls Obama a chimp, is that somehow not racist simply because the speaker is black?

By relying on race to define the actions and thought and statements of people you are being racist! You are employing racism to condemn the alleged racism of others! Whether it is racist to call Bush a chimp has nothing to do with the race of the speaker. If calling a person a chimp is racist, then it is racist regardless of the race of the subject or speaker.

where exactly did rightwinger rely "on race to define the actions and thought and statements" of anyone?

Ok...

Bill Maher is a comedian and terrible at what he does, so... FAIL!

that Erin was doing the Shock Jock thing as a joke that many of us find boring. She was saying somebody was a hunk. Who? And when she referred to Monkey in the Middle, was it a racist thing? Her right wing Republican buddy was laughing...It was bad sophomoric humor, but...was it racist? Was it in your mind equivalent to calling the First Lady an ape?

you disagree with that statement? you think race plays no part here?

 

[Lakhota]

Racists can also hate their own race. Just look at Allen West and Ben Carson...

And? Dana wanted to see someone in the media saying it on TV. I obliged.

She was saying somebody was a hunk.

And? Figueroa was saying Michelle Obama is ugly.

And when she referred to Monkey in the Middle, was it a racist thing? It was bad sophomoric humor, but...was it racist? Was it in your mind equivalent to calling the First Lady an ape?

There is nothing racist in what Figueroa said anymore than calling Bush a chimp, and nothing more than calling Rush Limbaugh Jabba the Hut.

That is my opinion based on how they say Democrats are keeping blacks down - when logic dictates otherwise. Okay...
