NAACP Demands Apology For Michelle Obama “Gorilla” Comment
The state NAACP is demanding an apology from a former South Carolina official whose Internet posting suggested a gorilla that escaped from the Columbia zoo was an ancestor of first lady Michelle Obama.
NAACP president Lonnie Randolph said Monday that former Election Commission chairman Rusty DePass has not offered a “proper” apology. Randolph says the NAACP isn’t giving DePass undue attention, rather decrying racially charged commentary against the Obamas.
Minutes after the gorilla’s escape was reported, DePass posted: “I’m sure it’s just one of Michelle’s ancestors – probably harmless.”
The Facebook posting was captured on a South Carolina politics blog. DePass did not immediately return a call Monday, but he told WIS-TV that the posting was a joke.

« Previous 1 2I think that this proves the theory that white people are aliens. Why do you think that they want to take eeevvveeerrything over. They have taken almost everything from the black culture. Our music, our way of comminicating, our ways of expressing ourselves through dress, the way we where our hair (perms what white person do you know that was born with hair so curly that they had an afro). I could go on and on. They came here and tried to imitate the first people who were on this earth, (African people, it has been proven, look it up), but they couldnt look like us so they made their skin pale and their hair straight. They reason why they have so many diseases and why their body starts to decay as they age is because the alien is dying. I think on reason these aliens hate us so much is that they can not be us no matter how hard they try.
I was taught in 4th grade that caucasians evolved from ape like creatures that walked dragging their knuckes on the ground.creatures that lived in trees and ate raw animals[like they do now so they can taste the blood],and walked around s**tting like cows.they are still blood thirsty creatures.they are responsible for spreading all the worlds diseases to other races through raping women and little girls of the other races.they have spread skin diseases to other races,because their pale skin is diseased.you can tell just by looking at it.their bodies start to decay internally as they age,and they will be responsible for the diseases infecting the other races in the future.the decaying of their insides makes their breath smell rancid.So for them to talk about black people being monkeys or gorrillas is funny,and downright stupid.that’s why it would be better if they were kept isolated from the rest of the worlds population.!
LMFAO@ YALLS COMMENTS…have him apologize for 400 years of oppression too while you’re at it
And just who the kcuf is the broke joke NAACP to be “demanding” anything from anybody? Those knee-grows act like racist is something that started on January 20, 2009 at 12:05 pm. Blacks have bee the target of racism since….that far back, and NOW it’s a problem ’cause Hussein & his wife are in the White House? Puh-leese, them flok need to get a life.
@haloone- shhhhh, you’re showing your ignorance. This is a grown folks conversation. Go read a book.
The NAACP should demand a apology. Wrong is wrong. The “Good Ol Boys,” have been getting away with BS since the beginning of time. Dude disrespected not just a black queen, but also the first lady. She should have the such utmost respect. Everyone who’s hating on the president and the first lady, should just get over and get a damn life!
the NAACP is a joke. and we a blacks should ignore all this ignorance. we must be doing something good in order to garner all this hate. racism has been around since the beginning of time almost and not going anywhere anytime soon. i wouldnt even give all this mess the dignity of a response.
The NAACP SHOULD demand an apology? What the fukk is wrong with people?! We weren’t “gorillas” when we served as slaves and subordinates, or back when the idea of a black president was far unseen, but soon as one of us makes it, we have these stupid azz rednecks making ridiculous comments like this! I agree with one of the posters: they say and do this stupid shiit because they’re old and about to die. If they want to rush their emiment deaths, I dare them to SAY it directly TO a “gorilla” and see if they don’t get stomped the fukk out!
Why do we give these people more credit than they deserve. Ignorance is something that needs to be ignore. My comment Stupid people gives me a headache. These are attention seeking people and we give them exactly what they want when we get all fired up.
Wow… Its amazing… What will they do next… These Good ole Boys are starting to realize they are just Old and no one cares and their hold is almost over… They use to walk away with some dignity, now they just do anything to make it seem like they are fighting back…Freaking a-holes
i find these comments emails and pictures ridiculous. how can a nation that is mixed like the usa be so ignorant and do stuff like that. people call other countries in the world racist, but people here have not realized that the most racism is praticed in the united states where all the nations are represented in this country. we have chineese, japanese, korean, vietnamese, iraninan, iraquis, arabs, german, french, scottish, brittish , italian, canadian, spanish, mexican and so on and so on. THIS COUNTRY should be ASHAMED of themself especially POLITICIANS that are acting like a bunch of idiots. i came to this country due to my husband serves in the army and i am proud of him for what he is doing but i never have looked at anybody in a different way. we are all aliens in other countries we have to grow up and face that it does not MATTER WHAT COLOR a person has its about what u can accomoplish and dream. we are not here to judge anybody we are here to act as a nation to make a better present and future. but i guess this will never happen????!!!!!!!!
man u knw its a shame when they see a strong BLK WOMAN.. it just eats @ them knowing that we more than rap. and clothes….. .. I KNW IT GOING 2 TAKE A MIN FOR EVERYONE 2 BE EQUAL.. BUT DAMN ITS 2009/10 ..LET THIS RACIST S#$T GO.. LIVE YUR LIFE IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT MOVE OUT THE UNITED STATES
Here we are again. Someone says something stupid/racist/offensive and we fire up the stationwagon to hunt them down to put on camera. Now we’ve added another log to the racist fire that has been raging since the beginning of the ability to reason. Racism will not end. However it must be dealt with through educating those who feel oppression. Education and knowledge are Kryptonite to racists. Next, I’m not so much offended by the remarks as I am by the people who are now openly making them. In the past it happened at the racist clubs, campfires, and crossburning gatherings. But no longer. They are now media attention getters. These folks and their statements are not news worthy. When they are put in front of the camera you are making them heroes to their followers. Yes, they say they are sorry. I do believe they are. That is SORRY uses of skin and air. But this is the type of response that is desired to cover for some clandesdin maneuver that is on the forefront. But again, these folks are not worthy of any costly response. They need to be swept under the rug with the rest of the dirt. Finally, as for me, I’m not offended by Evolution. I am, however offended by talk of civil war and Revolution. I praise the ability of the Primate to endure all hostilities of nature to survive while gaining intelligence. There has never been such an adaptation and overcoming since speaking of their ability to truly multitask. With their limited ability and lack of skills only they could give rise to the most powerful descendants on the planet. I say let the real education of this here United States of America finally begin.
why everytime some a*****e makes a racists remark the naacp wants an apology what the f**k is an apology?! whoever made the remark is still just as racists and even if they are just making jokes and arent racist they should still be held accountable for not having the common sense to know as a political figure you cant make racial jokes hell unless you’re apart of the race thats being joked on…
This doesn’t surprise me in the least. The GOP are still acting like a bunch of spoiled brats (which they are)& still can’t except that the fact they are out of touch. As for the racial (hate) comments & mail….they’re showing their true colors. Micheal Steele should re-evalute himself about being a memeber of these people. It never going to stop.
People like that?
He is in office….NOTHING Will ever change,,,,honestly after all this country has done to people in other countires and its own…”I am starting to believe that it is not America that the Teerorist hate…It is our Goverment who loves to use the words,,,”The American People”…like they really know….Who is the last friend OBAMA had that made less then $300,000,000.oo a year…And I am talking about before he ran for president…POLITICS only work when the people make thier own choices…not based on any platform…If INDEPENDANCE DAY every really happen…I guess they only made plans to save themselves…lol
THERE WILL BE A WAR SOON…I KNOW it…I FEEL it…and I can almost see the enemy…
People like that surely is going to bust hell wide open.
I don’t want an apology from him. I want him to be fired–not resign, but be FIRED. I want him to be publically shamed and humiliated.
What a low-life.
DePass!!! hum are you sure it’s not DeAss……….lol, how you like that monkey
