1. We have real reasons for knowing Republicans support racist ideology.

How this photo relates to that is beyond me.

[olddots]

2. facebook what a concept.

I'm glad my days are numbered ---this planet is toast .

[PD Turk]

3. I dont get it?

How is a picture of Michelle with Barbara Bush racist?

[Mr.Bill]

16. You're confused.

Barbara Bush is on the One-Dollar bill.

[PD Turk]

17. !!!

[EOTE]

37. Really? I could have sworn she was the one on the oatmeal can.

I always get them mixed up.

[11 Bravo]

38. Wait a minute, then who's that on the Quaker Oats box?

[Quantess]

4. I love how DUers are claiming to not "get" what the big deal is.

This is ONLY a classic racist caricature.
I'm lily white and yet I can see the problem pretty easily.

[Scuba]

7. +1

[Buzz Clik]

13. This is an exhibition being put on by morons.

Let it go.

[Warren DeMontague]

5. You know, sometimes it's useful to point out that racist fuckwits are racist fuckwits.

Sort of like under certain circumstances it may be helpful to remind people that shit smells bad.

However, a little advice: continually dumping buckets of shit on the floor in an effort to helpfully show people just how bad shit smells, is not likely to be appreciated for long.

[Whisp]

24. +++

[JimDandy]

26. Well said.

[LiberalAndProud]

31. Now, there is a word to the wise.

Bravo!

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

6. Didn't we have a huge flame war when someone posted a supposedly racist graphic at Justice Thomas?

Now why should we all have to endure THIS SHIT which is CLEARLY RACIST?

[Nye Bevan]

8. Why the blue bars? Why not expose these people? (nt)

[duhneece]

9. My thought exactly nt

[needledriver]

10. But this is OK?

[Nye Bevan]

11. Comparing a white person to a chimp is not racist.

Comparing a black person to a chimp is horribly racist.

I didn't make this rule but I don't really have a problem with it.

[SoCalDem]

12. In retrospect, unfortunate, but not racist because

GW's expressions were compared to a chimp because his INTELLIGENCE was suspect.. It was the meme o' the day, that he was not up to par in the smarts department (although most of the chimps pictured, probably had a LOT of innate intelligence)

The difference NOW, is that the anti-evolution , and yes, RACIST out there just love to compare the Obamas BECAUSE they are black, to their "animal counterparts (in their eyes)...a gorilla, a monkey, a chimp = animals and ONLY animals.... They are a clever bunch because they have conflated the two "memes" and say "...but but but YOU guys did the same to "our" president, GW..."

It's also akin to the republicans refusal to accept Obama's presidency as legitimate, when "WE" did the same to GW.. but if you think about it, we DID deny the legitimacy, but for a real reason.. GW's election was suspect at best, and probably existed only because of chicanery, deceit and probably crimes. Republicans deny Obama's legitimacy because.. well, He's BLACK (and unworthy of being president)

18. really, this needs to be explained?

you are no aware that comparing blacks to apes has been a racist meme for decades if not centuries?

[grasswire]

29. Google "Ota Benga"

That will give you some context here.

[LeftishBrit]

36. Completely different

That is implying lack of intelligence and primitive behaviour by an individual - not a race.

It might be considered as rude, but not racist.

[Buzz Clik]

14. So, a troll, a mole, and a sock puppet walked into a bar...

... and they came up with this thread.

Weak.

Wave to the cameras!

[arely staircase]

19. you may be on to something

i just noticed the 20 posts.

[Buzz Clik]

20. Someone talking to himself until the thread got noticed.

[Buzz Clik]

21. Well, Ralphie, I wasn't blaming you.

But some friggin' idiot put this together.

No ill will on my part. This place is a playground for everybody, as far as I'm concerned. It's the obvious stupidity that irks me.

[Initech]

15. Ugh. They should just put the robes on and get it over with.

[alp227]

22. Sadly, ADULTS - even your co workers - find this kind of shit FUNNY.

Too many adults in this fucking stupid country have 13-year-old's brains.

[alp227]

25. Interesting video. Welcome to DU!

Be sure to check out DU's Wisconsin forum at http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1084

DU has a great community of progressive Badgers who post all over the big forums here. Please join them in getting the union-buster Scott Walker OUT OF OFFICE in 2014!

32. Too bad it was removed

I've noticed that right wing discussion boards are much more tolerant of their members defaming and trashing Democrats, while banning the victims from defending themselves, but liberal message boards don't tolerate it. That's fine, but it only allows righties to have the upper hand in bullying.

[alp227]

33. Wow this user was a "malicious intruder"?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=304530&sub=trans

But the Youtube channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/user/sheboygantalk1

[n00b]

34. I guess linking to a video makes one a "malicious intruder"

DU couldn't just remove the post and warn the poster? They had to delete them and prevent them from further posting? Because they linked to a video? What a load of BS.

[Iggo]

27. Sick of looking at that picture.

[Just Saying]

28. At least these idiots aren't even pretending they're not racist.

I get tired of the "clever" code words used by Fox and conservatives when they discuss issues. They think we can't read between the lines.

We see you assholes!

That being said, that picture is disgusting. Michelle is a beautiful woman and I'm proud to have not only a lovely and elegant but also intelligent and strong First Lady.

[UtahLib]

30. Really

Do you imagine we're not aware of the disgusting element that continues to ooze slime throughout the republican party.

[akbacchus_BC]

35. Leave it alone!

Why you going looking for this shit on the internet and posting it on here?

The First Lady is better looking in my humble opinion. when you post shit like this, the termites come out of the woodwork!

[Bluenorthwest]

39. The fact that this country is chock full of racists and homophobes is not news

Why post this trash here?
