A Tennessee-based public relations executive lost his job after forwarding an email that contained images comparing First Lady Michelle Obama to a chimpanzee. While this isn’t the first time that people sending racist emails have been implicated, it is still shocking each and every time.

Really. He got fired? Because she’s black? You know Obama got razzed for his ears. You know the old Bush, his wife looked more like his mom. Hilary was called gay. So, now we can’t make fun of people? If every person who did something stupid got fired, we’d all be unemployed. So what Michelle, roll with it, your man is the president. Your in the white house. We gotta call it the black house now?
Pleeeez.

I agree with some posters that this is nothing to get fired over
Michelle Obama is a PUBLIC FIGURE and should not be off limits to being ridiculed.
Like one poster said, how many of us have passed around cartoons of Geo Bush?
I believe this kind of “no tolerance” action is designed to promote racial hostilities, which is the greatest weapon the elites have in dividing and conquering the population…

I personally don’t understand how an american citizen can be terminated from their job because of how they see someone. This is supposed to be the land of the free. People are supposed to be able to do and say what they feel as long as they’re not hurting themselves or anyone else. Once people get a little authority they believe they have the right to dictate someone else or their lives and that isn’t fair! Slavery is over and has been for sometime. No one is obligated to do what another tells them nor should their speech,thoughts,opionions,or ways be limited to what another person would have it to be.

I’m almost sure I’ve forwarded an email before likening George Bush to an ape.
Crass and tasteless? Perhaps. Worth losing my job over? Nah.
Should a person who thinks the First Lady looks like an ape be fired? No.
Should a person who feels superior genetically to Black people be fired? No.
Should a person who violates another’s civil rights be fired. That’s the prerogative of the owner of the business in question.
Did he violate someone’s civil rights? No. Absolutely not.
Did he violate some company policy? Maybe.

@yepthatsme- Amen and amen!

omg thank you@mr 12 play…and all the other black people in here with some damn sense.
stylish diva – you’re glad you’re not my ignorant ass? learn my history? oh and i’m also a jigaboo? lol. you sound remedial. my people are intellectuals, thinkers, the educated…whether black, white, latino, etc. MY history is history period. history isn’t separated and put into neat little binders fool. history includes all that has happened in the past – so which events are you talking about? religious history? epic of gilgamesh? council of nicea? that fool constantine that helped bind some biblical books and toss the rest? ethiopian texts? some caucasians building a history of oppression with that bs bible that is snatched from african text? already know it. political history? political and economic warfare? social warfare? the u.s. govts history of imperialism? waging war on the minds and bodies of it’s own citizens? the cia crack setup in cali where they flew it in using us air force bases and distributed it via freeway rick? slavery being ‘abolished’ UNLESS someone is convicted of a crime and can be sold right back into that cycle? prescott bush’s dealing with ig farben and how it connects him to hitler? one of g.w. bush’s speeches being directly lifted from hitler himself? 9-11 being a bulls**t excuse to jump into afghanistan where opium production has skyrocketed since we’ve occupied it? money creation and how the FED regulates it? duh, know it. so before you start slinging insults make sure they have some remnants of validity, hag.
maatra – some people should think before opening their mouths? i completely agree that you should. or read before they open their mouths rather…
nanastroker – i never said tyga shouldn’t speak his mind. i actually agreed with him trying to educate people. HOWEVER, teaching a child about how the KKK is WRONG by calling all white people crackers and f****ts and such somewhat contradicts the message one should be sending – unity and respect. that’s not loving people that hate me (wth kind of sense does that make) but rather NOT condemning those that don’t fall into that category…is it ok for me to do that? or should i just damn the entire race for how SOME of them are…
dude, come on…really? did you really say brainwashed? lol…
victim of media? self-hating? right church, wrong pew bruh. i’m an independent THINKER – which means i collect all information, digest it, and use REASON to draw MY OWN conclusions. all the fools jumping on the emotion bandwagon and waving their african flags don’t impress me. the bottom line is this:
if someone told me that all black people are ignorant as hell i would go clean in on them…why? because i KNOW FOR A FACT that isn’t true! now, does that mean some black people aren’t ignorant? hellllll naw, because their are plenty of ignorant black people (scroll through some of these responses if you think i’m lying-sheesh!), just as there are plenty of ignorant fools of other ethnic backgrounds. so, if you read my post and comprehend it accordingly, what i would hope you understand is to put all white people in a box and say they are devils, racist, or in a secret society with the ultimate goal of destroying the black man, is pure ignorance. not because you’re black or white, but because that is an illogical thing to deduce.
as far as slavery and a continued stranglehold the powers that be have on far too many minds today, my viewpoint is this: (please pay close attn here)
yes there was slavery. yes masses are still being plotted against, but it’s time to stop making excuses for how fuq’d up YOUR life is and the lives of many people like you (by people like you i mean people devoid of logic). it’s time to stop crying about that shyt and DO something about it. question for everybody in here saying white people are keeping us down…how many of you boycott? how many of you run, started, or participate in non-profit orgs? how many mentor regularly? how many are willing to take a bus or ride a bike to work to NOT buy gas? how many have taken their money out of chase, bank of america, or any other of the mammoth banks using your money to loan out to you and then kicking your mom out of her home? how many of you are actually doing something or just complaining about who’s keeping you down? THAT’S the slave mentality that needs to be broken…YOU are the ones that need to wake the hell up. did white people keep OPRAH down? SEAN CARTER? SEAN COMBS? MS. SUSAN L TAYLOR? FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA? HELL MR. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA? MAYA ANGELOU? as far as i know, they aren’t all descended from ‘old money’. now i’m pretty sure all of these people had opposition, BUT they didn’t let that bs stop them. that’s where OUR minds SHOULD be…
self hatred – *sigh* nana come one. not a good move. i’m just not for bs excuses and pity parties regardless of race, sex, and so on. so while we’re having a let’s blame white people for drugs in the community…broadly speaking, can i blame a white person for sticking a pipe in my mouth? or did I make that decision? can i blame a white person for me opening MY legs at 17 and getting pregnant? or was that MY decision? can I blame a white person for me spending $8000 on some rims when i could have learned about investing and put it in an IRA? (and you can’t say no one has ever taught you about investing – no one ever showed you how to insert your p***s, but i’m sure you figured that out on your own.) see ppl can set traps for me, but at the end of the day I, ME, YO…I make the decision. how long can someone keep me down? as long as i allow it. you can’t go 30 yrs blaming somebody else for why you didn’t stay your a** in class and study like YOU should have. or why you don’t pick up a book this instant (unless a white person is at your house holding your hands down)!
now a TRULY new age is being born. so that old bs way of racist thinking whether black or white just doesn’t work. if a latino child was starving i would feed it just as if it were a black child starving. unity isn’t black unity…unity is unity! your thinking is divisive just as the kkk’s is…which is why that stupid sh*t is dying out (praise gebus lol). i’m not saying don’t be proud of your heritage, i’m saying stop acting like black people are the only people in history to ever go thru hardships…like indians didn’t…or chinese didn’t get screwed up by opium…or ppl in afghanistan aren’t still getting trashed by opium right now…or some african women aren’t being circ**cised and having cleaning agents put on their v****as to dry them up becuz being wet in certain african cultures means you’re loose, or jews weren’t burnt alive, or people in the states right now aren’t starving, or in haiti, or in chile.
now if you’d like to address me intelligently, i encourage you to do so. but if you can’t keep up, i advise you to sit this one out.

That’s actually a nice observation though it may not be appropriate or in the right context.
at 2:46 pm
I personally don’t see what the big deal is. Michelle’s the First Lady so people are going to hate whether they’re this guy or some Black girl working at Arby’s. Haters are going to hate, period. Move on to the next story, hopefully something about million dollar rappers giving uplifting speeches to the hoods they came from including such things as ‘taking care of children’, ‘condoms is a must’ and ‘you can’t really go anywhere without education.’

confirms my belief… there are a lot of stupid people out there….

He got what he deserved.

at 12:29 pm
why do you continue to show the picture? could you do your news report without showing the picture? this is appauling, really!!
at 10:31 am
This man is an idiot! I am thankful that he was fired! Maybe this will teach multiple people a lesson; that you cannot always get away with things based on titles or positions. Someone needs to teach rush lim-idiot this very same lesson as well!!! And, he is not the most handsome man as it is for him to EVEN be joking about someone elses looks anyway!!
at 9:54 am
He was the CEO, he thought he could get away with it since he was at the top. These people are just ignorant. Racism is not just in this country. Ive been all over the world and its the same or worse in other countries. Its a flaw of humanity in general.
at 9:51 am
Racism is like a disease this country has no cure for…It is unimaginable that a white man, with his background and experience in his field of work (…public relations…duh??!!…) did not have the conscience to just delete this e-mail. How sad…
at 7:23 am
the internet shows us everyday how racism is still as strong as ever. true feelings are shown on the net.
