Michelle Obama Monkey Offensive Image on Google Results

November 25, 2009 / 175 Comments

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)

Michelle Obama Monkey Offensive Image on Google Results

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:

google message about Michelle Obama Monkey image

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 :)

    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?

    Or how about this

    http://cheezburger.com/View.aspx?aid=1045124352

    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!!!!!

    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!!!

    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

    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.
