'Planet Of The Apes' Comment Towards Michelle Obama

[Lonestar_logic]

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.

How exactly is that racist?

 

[Liminal]

Racists are so ugly.

The racists on this thread have ugly minds as well. It's almost funny watching these idiots contortions, as if the characterization of ape or monkey had no historic racial implications. I wonder which plays a greater part in their alleged thinking: stupidity or dishonesty. It has to be one or the other, there is no third option here.

 

[EricJ]

When you use a known racial slur, expect to be called a racist. Period.

NaziCon racism is so disgusting.

And yet, Leftwing-Progressive Racism is so much more pervasive and damaging to blacks.

There. You see?

I told you guys the Tu Quoque Brigade can always be counted on to kick into action here!

I love how you rubes work so hard to brainwash yourselves.

You conveniently leave out the "right wing conservative" part of those Democrats of so long ago.

It is hilarious you have to reach back 60 to 100 years in your pathetic effort to "prove" the Democrats of today are racist. Do you have any modern day efforts by Democrats to stop civil rights legislation?

Didn't think so.

Idiot.

are you claiming that the dems did not fillibuster the civil rights act? Are you claiming that it would have passed without republican support?

because if you are claiming either, you are lying.

Way to prove your ignorance. Google "southern strategy".

Also, Lyndon Johnson did not make that quote. Google that too. Knowledge is better than ignorance.

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.

First of all, that's just offensive. To find that racist, you'd have to be racist. Second, she does look like she could be a cast member for the simple fact that her facial structure and long arms resemble the characteristics of some of the characters on PotA.

That's not our fault.

What a racist thing to ask.

Why would you say such a thing?

 

[kaz]

Saying that Michelle looks like an ape or a tranny or even a wookie, while it MAY be in bad taste, is covered by the 1st Amendment. Get over it.

You Lefties need to stop bashing the 1st Amendment.

Um…the first amendment protects people from government. Where did you get the idea people can say whatever they want and not have ramifications from other people?
