Michelle Obama Monkey Offensive Image on Google Results
Michelle Obama monkey and really offensive image on Google Image search results is back to the talk of the day. In case you don’t know what I am talking about, then go to Google Image and search for “Michelle Obama”. This is it! (See updates below)
On the first result itself is a racist and offensive image of Barack Obama’s wife, Michelle Obama deformed in a monkey like photo. The fact that this picture is appearing on Google’s search result is creating the e-havoc. In fact, there was a similar picture on the results some time ago and it was removed by Google (details here) after receiving complaints.
Google said that the other website was also involved in malware distribution and as such it was breaching it TOS. However soon after removing that other similar picture from the results, here is a new one appearing again! This time Google has refused to remove it saying that the site hosting the image is in no way contradicting its TOS. (Visual Defamation?)
Google is even using Adsense ads on its Image Search result to explain why it is not removing the picture. See the photo above showing the black circled region showing the ads. This ads leads to a Google page where they explain as stated below:
In one way Google is right to not be removing this picture as explained above but on the other side there is also the ethic factor. Can anyone just go around and make fun of everyone in this simple way by uploading a photo?
Furthermore, the person who did this photo editing did a really absurd job! What did he intend to say? That black people are monkeys? It is time to stop this type of skin colour difference. Being white is in no way better than being black and so is the opposite too. We have fools in both white skin and black skin. So none is perfect.
Update: The blogger behind the mentioned mockery photo of Michelle Obama has removed the photo. The photo from the Google Search cache is expected to be cleared out automatically as time goes on. However for the answer to a WHEN, on this one only Google can answer. In the meantime Google stays firm on its decision to not manually remove the photo. As explained above, doing so will in a way influence the integrity of Google’s results. On the other side many people ask that the photo is flushed from Google Images results.
Update 2: The photo is no more to be seen on Google Images. As such even we have censored the SCREENSHOT above so as to no further propagate this very controversial photo. All end well finally

Saying Michelle Obama looks like a monkey is not a very nice thing to say about monkeys! It’s really too bad we have to have those two in the White House. No wonder this country is a laughingstock.

You have it backwards. The U.S. WAS the laughing stock before they finally elected Obama – finally an American leader you can be proud of. Those of you that obsess on skin colour – open your eyes, read a book, educate yourselves on where your backward views came from. Join the 21st century and get over your embarrassing past.

@Wake Up, My views are not backwards. They are God’s. Read the Bible. This nation was founded as a God fearing nation. Because we, His white chosen race, has stop following Him, we are cursed from all other nations, the worst of the worst has come to rule over us. The proof is in the white house.

Generally, skin colour is the determinate of “race”. Racial differences exist, whether they are politically correct or not. Nature exists, and it does not consult us before it decides something.
Whites and Blacks are different, the former more apt for intellect, the latter more apt for physical prowess. This is a result of evolution. Different groups within the same species will develop different traits depending on their environment. If Whites and Blacks had never met, it is conceivable that the two “races” could have become separate species, a long time down the line.

@John,
You are ignorant. Colour does not determine race. Black tribes in New Guinea (if you know where it is) for example have closer similarity in DNA to the lighter skinned Asians in the region than to blacks in Africa. And if you read the “Out of Africa Theory” on Wikipedia you will be ashamed of yourself to find you are African in the first place.

@John,
Obviously you need to update your 1950′s anthropology text.
As a white American I feel that I must speak up and denounce the racism of the ignorant, hateful images of Michelle Obama. To all African-Americans I apologize for this insult and the continuing bigotry that you are subjected to by white people. Barack and Michelle Obama are an enormous trubute to the United States, and more intelligent and elegant people than we have had in the White House for years. If it is any consolation whatsoever, please at least understand that this only demonstrates how ignorant and uneducated the people are who display this racism.

@Michael, Since you didn’t do anything YOU CANNOT LOGICALLY APOLOGIZE FOR ANYONE. That is one of the dumbest things people have become accustomed to doing for years now. Unless you had a responsibility for the action you are apologizing for it means abnsolutley NOTHING. Sorry. USE YOUR DORMANT BRAIN TO FIGURE IT OUT. As far as an offensive image is concerned – this is still America. White Christians can be depicted in any manner the red wing wants and they have to shut up. George Bush was portrayed as a chimp. This just might be an equal opportunity derogation.

Get a life, you hypocrite. Where were you when Sarah Palin was viciously bashed by the press, and offensive pictures were all over the liberal press. She is much much better than that Michelle.
Some white people try to how racism, but actually they are only ingratiating themselves with the blacks.

Who do you think you are to apologize for white America. Get real you moron.
The fact is Michelle looks like someone from the planet of the Apes, true and simple.
this is just part of being a public figure. Get over it people. She does look like a monkey, so what? So does a lot of basketball players. Who cares? If you can’t stand public opinion, go lock yourself at home, nobody will know or bother you. Geeze
I want to see it. It is art. Censorship is the wrong, not a caricature. Furthermore it is hilarious. Not all of us worship at the trough of celebrity worship. Stop trying to control our thoughts.
Two thoughts:
I canot ever remember reading so much and frenzied reaction to black people calling each ohter names much worse than monkeys or depictions as such, secondly it should be obvious to anyone looking at the alleged offending picture it is not Michelle at all, but rather her twin sister Magilla.
And after all she is still better looking than Cheeta, but only by a orargatang hair, man a fellas could go on forever with this material.
WHY ARE PEOPLE SO UNKIND??WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PICTURE NEEDS TO EVALUATE THEIR LIFE..SOMETHING IS WRONG SOMEWHERE…WHY CAUSE HURT TO SUCH AN ADORABLE LADY……
OH WAKE UP AND CHANGE WITH THE TIMES..RASCISM IS SOOO OLD AND USELESS..YOU HAVE A BLACK FIRST LADY AND PRESIDENT AND YOU CANT CHANGE THAT……IT DOESNT MATTER HOW MUCH HATE AND VITRIOL YOU HARBOUR…..LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO HAVE SO MUCH VILE, VENOM AND VOMIT!!!!!

Life continues with or without us. You yourself have existed while others die – it is reckless and arrogant to assume that Reality ceases at the same time as you do.
Insults like this proves to the world that there are still people in and outside of America who enjoy the suffering and racism of minorities, in and outside of the- America. One should remember the truth and what the world knows; the beginnings/foundation of America was built on an evil curse called Slavery. The founders of America had Slaves. George Washington had Slaves, Thomas Jefferson fathered children from Slaves, Benjamin Franklin also fathered children from Slaves, etc. There are still people with hideous and hypocritical moral souls who still enjoy these kinds of indignities, so what does that say about moral standing of America in the world? How can America give moral advice to any other nation? Get the picture? They can say, you (America), a nation that hasn’t come to grips with its own moral conscience and about its Slavery past, how can you even attemped to try to advise the rest of the world about Human Rights when you continue, even in the 21st century, to enjoy indignifying the descendence of slaves who have fought for Human Rights since their enslavement? Hopefully, this is not the true soul of America, but we will see, won’t we. America will be judged before the eyes of all mankind, morally and spiritually, there is no doubt about that.

Two things.
1. Human Rights exist only in the minds of Humans. Nature does not care for us.
2. The majority of White people bend over backwards to accommodate a non-White population which is failing in a White civilisation/society. The fault is not in Slavery, but in Modernity, which is, essentially, a corrupt form of European culture, with most of the “culture” removed. I wonder if anyone with real integrity and real values has ever been “successful” in such a world…
God cannot be happy with such pictures. Can His image be like a monkey?

@Aclen Muleya M., You don’t have a clue what His image is. No, I do not think God is happy. Why? Because the only reason her picture is even on the web is because of who her husband is. The only reason her husband is who he is, is because it is God’s judgment of America, His chosen people, under someone of a different race. Whites should rule over whites in America. blacks should rule over blacks in their homeland of africa. No, God is NOT happy. obama in office proves it!!!!!!!!!

@Sally Mae,
I don’t know what you inspire more, irritation or pity.
You sound seriously misinformed. Seriously, have you READ the bible or are you quoting an ignorant group/person who feels angry, scared, ripped off by your lot in life? Do you know that Jews are God’s chosen people? I figure this is just one more group of people to hate, right?
If you can even hear me, you and other hate-filled people like you (regardless of race) should sit still and try to listen to your conscience. Is all this hate and anger who/what you are? If so, does this make you proud? If you try to calm the lies and excuses you have been fed (there is no shortage of ugly stereotypes about whites) maybe you can find a grain of truth that sheds light on the darkness you are living in.
If God is love and not a vindictive petty fallable human, he is not going to have a group of children to hold one as superior over its siblings. Our worth is in the good we are and contribute, not an accident of birth like location and skin colour.

@Wake Up,
YOU need to do the reading! The people the world refers to as ‘jews’ hate Christ! They are NOT now and NEVER have been God’s chosen people. Do you fall for every lie that comes your way? Do you always roll over and play dead, or do you research anything at all?
If you had ever read THE Bible, you would know God is not only a God of love but a God of vengeance! Also a God of HATE! ‘Jacob I have loved, Esau I have HATED’ Listen to David, a man after God’s own heart, he ask ‘Am I to love those who hate the LORD?’ If God were all lovie-dovie, why would a man like David ask this question.
But here we are talking about mixing the races.You cannot have the mixing of races without problems! You must have separation! History proves this time and time again. You must WAKE UP and see the truth! Even the Bible talks about racial separation!(Your name implies you are awake, but you are asleep. Asleep in satan’s lies. You are deceived. How do you know you are deceived if you are deceived? Ask God to remove any deception that you have fallen for, including, but not limited to who His true people are.) You must know who God’s chosen people are! They are not Christ haters! jews are Christ haters, ANTI-CHRIST through and through! Do your own research for a change and stop following the blind, deceived masses.
This post is slightly off subject, but much more important than the issue of a stupid picture!

@Sally Mae, (your response did not have a reply method so this will show up above your response)
I know the bible has a lot of hate in it. Some choose to focus on the positive aspects of the bible and some choose the vengeance angle.
Do you know that Jesus Christ was a Jew?
Can you point out where the bible professes the separation of the races, really?
Do you really believe that white Americans (U.S.) are THE chosen people?
Just curious.

All the hype over the First Lady, but no one says anything about the Presidents ape image. These images come from celebrityape.com where most images are of white citizens. Its all in fun, we should be using our enery on thing that matter.

Two points here: 1) I feel bad for the monkey, it didn’t deserve to be made to resemble her and 2) she did look much better after the picture was doctored.
Oh I didn’t realize the picture was doctored
If one looks at Michelles face you can clearly see ape in it.
I woulkd guess Michelles great grand parents mom mated with a ape….
But I have to say Michelle has a nice body. I would like to take her for a ride….
Shame on Google for giving in to the White house and removing that picture…
Just goes to prove,blacks and everyone who complains know that blacks are similar to monkeys in appearance and lower intelligence than whites.If you didn’t know this truth,then why you’re complaining.YOu know it’s the truth but you obviously try to distance from truth by complaining,if it isn’t then why so much complain and censorship for Michelle but not Bush?You complaing indicates you know it afact,just look closely at blacks.
it’s very true that michelle resembles a monkey. people talk like that is a negative thing. then, why is it, i want to bang her so bad? beastiality? perhaps!

Ahahahaha, I’m laughing so hard right now. Not at the Monkey Obama’s, at the fact that you people cry racist so easily. You know, President Bush was portrayed as a monkey hundreds of times during his term, sometimes even on national television! Why did no one cry out then? Oh, because it wasn’t racist then? Am I right? See, you people who act so offended only serve to reinstate racism in this country. You remind us that black people can’t be called monkeys, because they are different! The very fact that take a racist defense against such an analogy, (the very same analogy used with Bush), is racist in itself. You pull the black man down with such double standards. Think about it out. A white man is called a monkey and its all in good fun, but the black man is called a monkey and he needs a defense. You belittle the black man with a defense where the white man needs none at all! I’m just showing you the bigger picture here, I didn’t paint it. I think that was Rev Lowry at Obama’s Inauguration who picked such elegant colors.

Well done, well said. Those black people cannot be called negroes anymore, but African American – what is the difference. Negro defines the black race, nothing derogatory. The problem is blacks is that they think they have the birth right to be privileged and humanity owes them a big favour for being black.

WHO do you guys who are “oh so offended” think Obama and Michelle are? You must think they are deities. You are sadly wrong. They are just people like me and you. When you step into the limelight you are fair game for criticism and ridicule. The Obama’s should be given NO special priviledge because of their race. Every possible caricature has been done to previous presidents. And Obama wanted to be president. You have to take what comes with the office. And why are some black people so sensitive about monkey depictions? Is this some tacit admission that they fear they look like certain members of the great apes? Black people may have evolved from Chimapanzees but my White People came here as is from Orion. Do your research.
if the image is there its because it’s real, yes she DOES look like a monkey to milliions of Americans and to me. Fact. thanks to google for not allowing filtering and other data manipulation whch would go against google’s data and search integrity. Google does not have to apologize
I taught college students, faculty and staff how to conduct online research for over 15 years. Never at that time did I ever see so much misinformation. I say this having had information was/is my domain. I am, like Michelle, an educated, multi-degree, and proud African-American woman. The comments expressed HURT. This was not because I dislike your political agenda. I also have had both concentrations and jobs relating to public policy so I’m familiar with the “turf.” I will struggle not to dislike YOU all (and those who proved to not have any form of class). As a mother, I teach my daughter to not be like those who would compare her looks to an historically offensive symbolic graphic of a primate. As my grandmother used to say… the best revenge is success. I was digging for information and found (as one can often find on the net) a lot of dirt. Is this what your parents taught you? To take highly educated people who jumped more hurdles you could not hardly imagine to become who they are only to compare them with (again I repeat) a “HISTORICALLY” known insult. Women, listen! You sit at your computers and join the ranks of males who objectify a woman who crushed many a glass ceiling? That is not only ignorant, but divisive amongst your own… as female. All I can do is shake my head and say —yep, allow you misinformed, ill-socialized peeps say who and what you are. Maya Angelou once said, When people tell you who they are, BELIEVE them. You all spewing this hatred are the true negative caricatures you try to pass off as funny. If you knew HISTORY and not (his-story), you would understand why we (as African Americans) find this offensive. This is offensive since it was historically used against us as a justification to commit abominable acts of human crime. It is not simply calling someone a primate as being in poor character and taste (which it is), but it has implications that went and still go far back in time that makes this insult take on another hideous form. It DOES hurt. Not just one individual’s feelings, but it also hurts one’s soul. It represents a disrespect that goes beyond the individual. You all who believe what you want or choose to believe. My choice is to believe you are clueless about American history, about history around the world and the more you talk, the more you vomit your lack of intellect for all to see…we all will make judgements and conclusions about you. Keep providing us with the information we need to see you all for who you are NOT. You are NOT very good people who have the right, yes, to show and tell us what we know IS correct. That correct bit of information is that more education is needed in this country for ALL (not just for inner city minorities who want to learn). Too many mis-educated people… Whoa, way too many.

@DaSource, I want to commend you in taking the high road in the face of so much hate and stupidity. Very courageous to actually try to enlighten people who reside in a very deep, dark hole. I fear most of them are unable to understand or take in your eloquently written plea for deeper understanding and awareness. A huge part of the blame should be placed on the lack of black history taught in schools. There should not have to be ‘black history’, but COMPLETE history where not only the oppression of African Americans is taught but the contributions and participation in major historical events by blacks is included. The same goes for Native Americans, Latinos, etc. In this way, not only the ignorance of the zenophobes would be addressed, but the self image of those black youth who never get to hear about their own history and end up believing some of the same distorted image that American society is projecting on them.

@DaSource, I forgot to mention that if a balanced perspective of history is not taught in our educational system, caucasion youth end up with an equally distorted view of themselves. They get a version of history that downplays barbarian acts perpetrated by whites and, as a result of omitting everyone elses contribution, makes it seem as if white society is the sole engine of progress in the world. Thus the condescending, paternalistic, and ignorant garbage spouted on the internet and sometimes even history books.
Example:
When white men win in combat with Natives, even if only women and children are present , history books refer to this as a “Battle”.
If Native warriors are victorious over white men, it is a “Massacre”.

@Ray Biden, Not sure where you get the opinion I’m a racist. It doesn’t matter, because my so-called “racist” behind educated a lot of white students as well to the best of my ability. I did not just teach black and brown folks at the universities and I really cared deeply for most of my students regardless of color. I was very interested in the students who had the desire to learn—-and they came in all the beautiful colors. As a former assistant professor who taught online research, I care not how you feel about me personally. I have too many people who TRULY know me from all over the world and both black, white, brown (and in-between) have agreed with what I had said in the above. I sent copies of this to many people I know. Also, with all my degrees and book knowledge I still I do not have the power to be a racist. The true definition of a racist is one that not only regards their race as superior, but one that can and will place others in a lower class or caste system. I do not believe my race or any others is superior to another. I would never wish harm or any form of malice upon another race. Never did and probably never will. I think the word you are looking for is prejudice. Yet, I don’t believe I am that totally, with regard to someone’s race. I, like most people, wish to be amongst those who make me feel most comfortable. That does not have to be based upon race. I do however, have a preference for being around like minds. I would probably hold some prejudice against you. That is because people who make quick judgements without knowing all the facts are usually bad people or very misinformed (uneducated). All the groups you’ve listed I never mentioned in my passage on this blog, but if you dislike them remember this…. They would not need to exist if it were not for people who practiced social and professional exclusion (or institutionalized racism). If you knew your history, you would know how deep discrimination was for people of color in this country. An “Anglo College Fund” as you’ve referred to would have been simply unnecessary – a redundancy to it’s very core. Before you do your name calling, please pick up some books and journal articles on American History. I encourage to read deeply both what you might not wish to read as well as whatever someone else might offer up. Compare notes. Then see how you feel. You might not change your opinion, but at least it will be a better informed one for sure. As the University Librarian that I was.for many years…I always tell my students to first READ!!!
The funny thing is that All people resemble each other because we share the same genotype. If she looks like a monkey We all are a bunch of apes. Growing up I was taught to hate white people. I was told that white people balked at the chance to grant tangible equality to black people. They said not only are blacks inferior but they are little baby monkeys always needing to be told what to do. What would they do with land and a mule. I was taught that the white devils will have their day and that day is called the REVOLUTION. A gathering of people of color to overthrow and eliminate our slavemasters and their children. I beleived that for a while until I traveled, went to school and got some education through interaction. I found that we are all the same despite our color differences. I fell in love with all people because every one has a distinct perspective in life which is needed in problemsolving. My mind was changed I love white people, asians, latinos, blacks. I really beleived in the american thing until Uncle Barack Obama got elected. I was happy for a while with the progression of this country. It was showing my family was wrong this whole time after all. Then people started making racist comments about him and his family. Making death threats. I got scared. Not for myself but for him and for white people. Some people dont know how sensitive we are about our leaders since MLK and X have been assasinated. To say the least we are willing to die for him if any harm comes to him or his family you will see the end of america as you know it. Please stop spreading the hate. Learn to adapt or we all will suffer the consequences of our ignorance. We can make the dream of america tangible if we can just get over this bump. The Racial issue is going make us kill ourselves..

@KillerApe, I appreciate your comment(s) too. I grew up in a very diverse and multi-ethnic Queens NYC neighborhood although there were few caucasians. In my local community (radius of a mile), most were people of many colors from every part of the globe. It could be easy to live in a box and feel a dislike towards a group you don’t have daily contact with aside from place of employment. That is why education is so important. I don’t only say that because I am a librarian and assistant professor, but I say that since there is so much MIS-information about the world we all share. Not enough or incorrect information can be toxic and often is. In college I first wanted to learn about myself, other cultures and psychology so I’d have a clue as to why people do and say what they may do. People are always hiding behind that “I don’t need to be politically correct” nonsense. What they don’t realize is they are telling use — I don’t care about you or what you been through or where you wish to go or what you think or what will happen to me when you hear what I say. Now that is not only being “politically incorrect”… that is also being socially incorrect, morally incorrect and anti-many better things to be. In the extreme it could also be dangerous if you come across another morally incorrect person like yourself who has nothing to loose by deciding to erase you as well as your “incorrect” comments. Be careful folks. Words may only be words to you, but there are a lot of people who are either in the midst of a blind rage due to a whole host of reasons you may not care to know or just MEANER than you. Have your opinions that’s fine. Just remember we ALL go through things, we all can be judged too harshly and the better you behave, the better others might be towards you too especially when you might need them… be smarter and be civil. When you dig in dirt…the only thing you get is DIRTY.
@Wakeup …I just wish to thank you for taking the time to read my reply to all those slinging so much unkindness and dirt. Again, thank you for your comments and not just for agreeing with much of what I said, but for your cool head and thoughtfulness as well as thought-provoking manner. We need more of that on these blogs. People who THINK and who READ A LOT.
Everyone must understand…I try to not allow ignorant statements get to me, read them and just keep browsing seemingly untouched by the heat flares. Yet, there are times when you feel the sting. Not just because someone made an insensitive comment, but because you know something else is wrong beyond the statement. Why would someone spend their time putting another down in such a cheap way regardless of political stance or what you consider “beauty” (or non-beauty) to be. What would cause another woman who may not necessarily be vogue cover material herself to say something they KNOW is demeaning to another woman who DESPITE socio-economic circumstances got to the upper crust. The caucasian or western style of beauty is just one interpretation. For me she is a beautiful dark strong afro regal warrior and not some delicate pale starved so-called beauty we see everyday. Maybe the cheap shot at her looks is only that for some–AND if that is so… how sad is that!?! People are able to think whatever they want (and will). It is another thing to act on it. In my neighborhood there is another saying regarding “checking oneself” and that goes here. You must be able to check your behavior before you act (or at least think about what you did after) causing the possible harm. I may have my feelings on what I consider to be beautiful (and what is not); however, what I do what with those feelings indicates the true person I am. I was raised not to hurt when unnecessary. I was raised to believe you “check yourself” before you put someone down on something as shallow as looks which is one of the most subjective realities known to humankind. I try to instill that in my daughter as well. You don’t just hurt because you CAN. Another person can come right behind you and call out all of those things they find “unattractive” about you too. It is incorrect, insensitive, childish and undermines one’s ability to be taken seriously. Do not tell me to grow-up and take (or witness in silence) those mean stabs especially if you yell non-racism and follow it up with clearly “racist” comments or doctored pics. The ones being mean without a reasonable cause need to grow-up. I even spotted some possible (beyond 35) matured individuals and that was plain awful. People who lived beyond a certain age should know better and disengage from such useless acts of unkindness. If socialism and communism is to be worried about according to many, what about “demeanism” (my made up word). Demeaning people for sport is by far much more scary to me than any, be it extreme, political system.
Michelle Obama Monkey Offensive Image on Google I find your posting so disgraceful, so distasteful and very disrespectful. Forget who they are, but think of WHO they represent. YOU AND I AND THE REST OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.. Please remove your site.

@Ashley,
Why should they. What about the monkey images of George Bush. You never said a word. Hypocrite.
Michelle is really monkey looking.
Get real.
It does not matter whether Bush, Obama, You or Me, look like monkeys, The point that I am trying to convey is WHAT THEY REPRESENT, AND THE ANSWER IS…. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Had I known that Bush or anyone else has a monkey picture too, I would have said the same thing. by the way, you said that Michelle is really monkey looking. HOW DO YOU LOOK LIKE, it will be a shame is you look like an orangutan. So, you get real and show some RESPECT.

@Ashley,
By the way, if you look like an Orangutan yourself, sorry for that.
I am ASIAN too, although I grew up in Barcelona, Spain (my grandparents are Spaniards) SO I can guarantee you that I am much better looking than you. But it is not the outside look that counts, REAL BEAUTY IS FROM WITHIN, because beauty FADES, unless you saved enough money for plastic surgery. I don’t understand why are you so fixated in comparing MRs. Obama to a monkey. She is a very intelligent, educated and you know what else, the First Lady has a MAN, WHO adores and loves her, WHO happens to be THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE WORLD. So, PLEASE, I have heard enough non sense from you, and if you have further comments, please keep it to yourself, that’s what ORANGUTAN do. Thank you, and get a life, find yourself a man. President Obama may have a brother somewhere out there, START LOOKING so you don’t have to worry about MICHELLE OBAMA’s looks.. You wish you had her scraps. All I did was post my opinion regarding the photos, why are so offended and so fixated with the comments. Goodbye, PLEASE get a life.

@Ashley,
This is my last comment because I don’t have time for a loser like you.
I repeat, you probably look like an organgutang pretending to be good looking.
I repeat, Michelle Obama look like an ape like you.
Adios, idiot – big loser.

@felisa reyes, this is my last comment for you. With your choice of words, calling and comparing people monkeys, losers, apes, idiots, you just described yourself. I feel sorry for your parents to have raised a very insecure, no self steem, bitter, angry and a very unintelligent person.
@alexisperez Este fue el caso de Michelle Obama http://bit.ly/akecot (un caso muy parecido. Google modificó ahí el algoritmo por la presión)
Funniest Articles on IC: Michelle Obama Monkey Offensive Image on Google Results http://tr.im/R175 – &they are still fighting.
it is ridiculous that in a country with free speech that we come unglued over comments about Obama and his wife looking like a monkey. She does and he is an idiot, I think the American people got what they wanted, change.
Did anyone see George Bush’s monkey pictures in the same results? Is that racist? I’m sick and tired of all you whiny cry babies talking about racism every time someone pokes fun at a black person, while on the other hand it is perfectly acceptable to pick on a white person, Mexican, Asian, or middle eastern person.

@Daymon,
I just wanted to talk about Walt Baker. This man compared the first lady to a chimp. Now I know what you crazy right wingers are thinking. “Where was the outrage when Bush was compared to a chimp?” Well there is a very easy explanation: IT’S TOTALLY DIFFERENT!!!! Throughout the history of this country white people have been comparing black people to monkey’s and chimps as a way to dehumanize black folks. You see, if you need to treat a group of people poorly it helps if you don’t see them as human (Jews and Nazi’s, Slaves and Slave owners etc….). This is a painful reminder of the distain that some white Americas have for African Americans. If this guy can write something like this about the first lady imagine how he treats average Black folks he comes into contact with daily. It is sad that this man can be so cavalier about something that is so painful to African Americans. We ,as African Americans, were here at this countries inception, we fought and died in ALL the wars and without African American SLAVE labor there would be no America to speak of. Given all these contributions to the country it saddens me that we still have to put up with such degradation. Having the first lady as the target of such degradation is not only a slap in the face to the Presidency and all Americans but to the progress that we have made in this country around race relations. When I say “we” in this context I not only mean African Americans but All Americans. The president and the first lady represent us all. They are the example of the best our country has to offer. They are a shining beacon of what it is to be an American. I was offended when someone compared Bush to a monkey, but as I said “IT’S DIFFERENT”. When the person is African American the historical context of such a comparison is vital to consider. There are still some white folks, who need to dehumanize African Americans, but in today’s parlance they don’t do it to treat us poorly; they merely do it to feel good about themselves. This man needs to see the first lady as a monkey because he can’t stand to see African Americans in the White House.
I am so sick and tried of this double standard when it come to blacks in this country. Blacks uses radical slurs and remarks toward each other every day. Just find a bunch of liberal blacks gather together…and the only thing you will learn edifying coming from their foul mouth is the N-word! What’s up my nigg!!!! And know they want to cry about a political humor…. blacks call each other apes and chimpzees..and even worst things than that. Give over it black democrats.

@Black Conservative,
My brotha how can you ignore the cultural and historical context of the N-word . I do not use the n-word on any occasion, but the N-word was used to desribe black folks in this country for a very long time. The word is so painful that some disillusioned brothas in this country have taken the word and made it a term of endearment. I am a member of the NAACP and we held a funeral for the N-word and I took it to heart.
As for the political humor of comparing the First Lady to a monkeyI wrote: “When the person is African American the historical context of such a comparison is vital to consider.” The comparison evokes the painful dehumanization of Black people. The comparison with Bush is different when you look at it in this context
Oh!.. one more thing.. I might I add… .Black folks… .It is not totally different…..You people who are saying that comparing President Bush to apes and chimpzees are not the same… you people are sick!!!!… This is not a shadow of different… POLITICAL HUMOR IS POLITICAL HUMOR….REGARDLESS WHO USES IT. Black people just like to use the race card to dumb down whites in this country… You white citizens should be tried of blacks demonizing other whites ….. Black comedians and celebrities… crack political joke all the time… .. and you never hear and outcry from these same self-righteous blacks…. Kum Ba Yaa…!!!
I am a north American Indian, you black cry baby’s stop this bs.
George Bush should complain about his photo with a monkey also.
And as for the illigals crying the blues about being miss treated go back home . I AM TIRED OF PAYING FOR YOUR MEDICAL BILLS
Its funny how the thought police think calling someone RACIST is a lethal blow. The more you call people Racist, the less power the TAG has. I personally dont give a shit if someone calls me a RACIST. Someone says Im a Racist and I say maybe I am maybe Im not, I dont care. The truth is I am a RACE REALIST. I know that blacks tend to look more like primates than whites, or Asians. I also know that Asians commit the LEAST amount of crime and score higher on IQ tests than Whites, Blacks, Hispanics. There are certain truths that NO amount of covering up or brushing under the rug will ever get rid of.
The RACES are different, and we ARE NOT all the same genetically. If that was the case there would be NO SICKLE CELL ANEMIA, you wouldnt have different racial groups that are more likely to suffer from a certain illness, you would NOT have differences in IQ, or standards of living in countries with similar resources.
And being PC Politically Correct is being a COMMIE, you are introducing thought police and restricting freedom of speech, Lenin instituted it.
The current usage of the term is often traced to Marxist–Leninist vocabulary concerning the ideologically “correct line”, particularly the works of Mao.

I truly think that Michelle Obama should sue the man that was making fun of her. I took that sistuation very serious,He is a racist man and he should be suffering with consequences..I’AM NOT GOING TO HAVE THAT UN UN!!!!!!!!!
first of all if this was bush’s wife no one would say a damm thing and everyone would laugh, pres. bush is still the butt of many jokes but because its a black person, not to mention an obama, being made fun of you all are up in arms the naacp is mad everyone is yelling raceisum i say f**k that it is funny plane and simple its a joke people when did it become ok to pick on the white man and not anyone else and you all wonder why the white supremist and the skin heads have hate. did you ever notice that the naacp doesnt say a damm thing about black people making fun of whites, or when black gangs do hate crimes to whites, or that there is more black on black crimes then white on black crimes. i am in no way a racist just stating facts this whole thing is a load of crap it a joke, its funny, laugh at it , this is not the first joke and it not going to be the last cause I have a lot of jokes about the other obama so take a trip to lowes buy some lumber, build a bridge and get over it
so here is another joke to take you mind of the pic.
whats the differance between a zoo and the white house?
a zoo has an african lion and the white house has a lyin african.
and like the pic it a joke laugh, pull the sticks out of your butts, remember one thing there are no african americans, greek americans, british american, french americans,german americans, ect.. there is only americans and untill you all see that hate, racisum, and a division of people will always be there. the groups like the naacp dont want racisum to go away cause then what will we need them for. one nation, one people, one flag, one GOD, americans. dont like it go back to the shithole country you came from and if your from america and dont like it drive south you will come to the mexican border cross it, take some ileagles with you, and get the hell out

@scorpman,
Spoken like a true Republican. First of all, our cultural differences are what make our country unique. I am an African American and I say that with pride. It does not mean that I have an allegiance to Africa or any country therein. African Americans played a huge part in shaping this country into what you see today. As I said, before without African Slave labor there would have been no America. Scorpman, do you want our country to be culturally like Sweden? In Sweden there are very few cultural differences and have you noticed that a lot of Swedes look-a-like? What you are proposing Scorpman is destroying the thing that makes America Special……our cultural differences. I feel that once you take away cultural differences you strip people of individuality. Yes scorpman we are a one nation under God indivisible with liberty and Justice for all, but we are not all the same. I value Italian, Irish and Mexican American culture as much as I value African American Culture. All of these distinct and beautiful cultures are needed to make the rich tapestry that we call American culture. Get a grip Scorpman!!!
I guess its monkey see monkey doooooooo!!!!!
Michelle Obama looks like a monkey, or if NOT a monkey definitely Zira from planet of the apes. I think this may be her fantasy

Man imagine dealing with her when all the bananas are gone!!!!!??? She must be crazier than a ….BARREL FULL OF MONKEYS!!!!! HAHAHAHA
God made the white man to look over the animals
And God made the monkeys to amuse the white man
And God made the Nigger to work the fields, eat fried chiken, make wonderful artistic rap music, drink 40′s of Old English, chase white women, spread AIDS, and collect welfare….OOOOOOWEEEEEEE!!!!!
And for all u sensitive self hating whites, I live in New York City, work on wall street and was raised around these little darlings you refer to as african americans…or as I rather say AFRI-CANTS !!!!!
Pictures of President G.W. Bush were depicted for years as a monkey, nothing was said. What’s the big deal now with Michele Obama…too much of a genetic likeness?
