But black Americans - we've taken hard hits internally since Obama has been in office. This just makes me turn my nose up at the Russian people - since it was 'students' - the same way I do Cliven Bundy.

You have to have been targeted by that imagery to have a visceral reaction. Hear no evil my ass - it's not the first time some Russian has played the monkey/ape/sub human thing with blacks.

Forgive me - but I've come to the conclusion at 41 years of age that there are two types of people in this world and this shows the Russian 'students/people' - that they don't like people who look like me.

There's been too much of this racial nonsense at home - don't think I'm gonna take it from some little fucks abroad. They can just not come here since this place is over run with apes like me and Obama.

They have to own the imagery they put up there and low opinions from black Americans it prompts. It's got nothing to do with Vlad and Obama.

They prompted this post from me - not you! Line drawn. They are officially too wet to step on and too low to kick. Again - - it's got nothing to do with the bigger issues. We know that Russia and Eastern Europe is not black people friendly. Not us, not Africans, not black folks from anywhere in the world. It's nothing new.

But now the people of Russia get to be branded for what they are. If they wanted to use the President to make that point - that's their right. But I don't have to think highly of them for their actions. And they probably learned it from US Republicans - or rather IndieTeaPublicans with all of their racial imagery.

And always remember - they don't care about us.

They are just out for themselves.

Just like we are. Let's just not pretend they are some noble people that are better than us.
