more Fox Nation racism directed at the First Lady [View all]

Same 'ol, same 'ol...



First Lady Michelle Obama is helping raise money for the presidential campaign by doing photo sessions, at $5K a pop. This is completely standard practice, not unusual at all in an election season.

But at Fox Nation, the official Fox News forum, it’s the occasion for yet another deluge of vile racism, right out in the open, in your face. Again, we see the deliberately misspelled slurs to avoid racist word filters, numerous comparisons to chimps and other primates, comparisons to “Sasquatch” and “Wookies,” blatant misogyny, and vicious stereotypes about African Americans. And many of the most disgusting comments are rated highly by other users.
