From The Vancouver Sun

“A typical street whore.” “A bunch of ghetto thugs.” “Ghetto street trash.” “Wonder when she will get her first abortion.”

These are a small selection of some of the racially-charged comments posted to the conservative ‘Free Republic’ blog Thursday, aimed at U.S. President Barack Obama’s 11-year-old daughter Malia after she was photographed wearing a t-shirt with a peace sign on the front.

The thread was accompanied by a photo of Michelle Obama speaking to Malia that featured the caption, “To entertain her daughter, Michelle Obama loves to make monkey sounds.”

Though this may sound like the sort of thing one might read on an Aryan Nation or white power website, they actually appeared on what is commonly considered one of the prime online locations for U.S. Conservative grassroots political discussion and organizing – and for a short time, the comments seemed to have the okay of site administrators.

Moderators of the blog left the comments – and commenters – in place until a complaint was lodged by a writer doing research on the conservative movement, almost a full day later.

“Could you imagine what world leaders must be thinking seeing this kind of street trash and that we paid for this kind of street ghetto trash to go over there?” wrote one commenter.

“They make me sick …. The whole family… mammy, pappy, the free loadin’ mammy-in-law, the misguided chillin’, and especially ‘lil cuz… This is not the America I want representin’ my peeps,” wrote another.

    LMAO I tell you its crazy how immature people are these days…

    Free speech is a civil right but in the hands of bigots it’s utilized as a weapon of sorts. These comments are intended to spark fire, hate and incite violence and to pierce the heart of minorities emotionally. Any coward can sit behind a monitor with keyboard at hand and become any deep rooted evil entity…We are shocked but shouldn’t be surprised…As far as we have come as a ppl (all minorities included) there are still ppl in this world so full of hate and evil and they would gladly wish nothing but the worse on anything or anyone positive in the minority communities here in the US or abroad.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mywua/ mywua

    Who really cares what some some time unbalanced people may say about the Obamas. I mean its to be expected. Thats how the majority really feel inside about ppl of color. They chose to hide behind the screen and talk trash. You do the Obama’s a disservice by even commenting on it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Qt_n_Ks/ Qt_n_Ks

    Yep, racism no longer exists in America…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/EmpowermentConfidenc/ EmpowermentConfidenc

    When they post the bad saying about the obama’z ignore them. That is what they want you to do respond to their ignorance. When people make these type of remarks about others they do not like themselves. So why involve yourself into someone comments that do not even care about themselves. smh.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/akbarallituchie/ akbarallituchie

    One thing I will be happy about…when I die I won’t have to see white folks anymore. If there is a god, and he/she’s white i will punch god in the eye, dismiss his presence and take control of heaven and finally punish white people for even being born!!! Even the white jesus should look out for me!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Edward1975/ Edward1975

    This country is decaying and dying from within due to the ignorance of sick-minded/ungodly evil people!!!

    I hate white people so much I don’t know what to do. I’m so tired of their s**t year in and year out. When I say white people, I mean white people of america. The ones who stole the land from the indians. They need to be taught a lesson and the black fools who follow them (SLAVES) will be taught the same lesson. The world will be better without white fools and white women who carry the seed of racism.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/akbarallituchie/ akbarallituchie

    It’s sad that white america can belittle a child, a child that is much better that their w***eish children. The truth about white america is that white women raises w***es. Just turn your tv on, white w***es everywhere. If they are not raising w***es they are raising fags. In fact white boys get fag trainig from their mothers at an early age. Look at the way white women dress, complete w***es, and insecure white men will get down on their knees to ask for their hand in marriage. What fools these mortals be.

    THESE PEOLE ARE JUST SOME COWARDS JUST TALK S**T BEHIND A COMPUTER.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/2daTopnonStop/ 2daTopnonStop

    I hope folks aren’t suprised when God’s wrath and hand of judgment comes down. Reading these comments though mkes me sa for my people…yeah it was disgusting what these peole wrote and what they feel in their heart. What good is beig done by spewing the same hate and ugly words at them….Judge not lest ye be judged, forgive so your father in heaven can forgive you…God can whoop a$$ wayyyyyyyy better than any of us can…that doesn’t mean take it idoly but be cautious that your own hands/hearts aren’t tainted…

    Stay strong ya’ll~

    I’m sickened by this story. I know that by being in the lime light that even kids are not immune to ignorance like this. SHe can’t where a peace shirt, and she is a w***e, bit mighty words get spoken from behind a cpu……cowardice is all I have to say.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Dice29/ Dice29

    Wow some of white America are having a very hard time adjusting to a black family living out what we call the American dream!! I guess some of them are letting there true feelings be known. However be it as it may the nasty, racist, and ignorant comments still don’t change the fact that there is a beautiful, black American family in the white house! I know it tears a lot of them up inside but they will use to it!! Please note i did not say all white people, cause if it had not been for the vast majority of white people voting for Obama he would not have gotten elected! Unlike many others i refuse to stereotype any race of people for the ignorance of a few!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ladiEmA_vIp/ ladiEmA_vIp

    i think this is sad but we have to look at our self too..because im half black and white and i have a best friend who looks white but is PR, even tho it doesn’t make a difference, but when me n her go to a neighborhood that’s mostly black they call her white girl and make racist comments at her…Like i think every race out there should ask themselves, if they do this,. if they make fun of a different race that comes into there neighborhood..all around its horrible… Its not just whites, some other race do it also and Ive seen horrible things like beating up on kids just because they are not black also…its everywhere n with every race…we need to grow up…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mccranky2/ mccranky2

    To ladiEmA vip:

    It is not black people that need to grow up. It is the white racist that run this country, that need to grow up. Black people have no real power, and words don’t really hurt (us black people know…). If words are all the whites/biracial people are experiencing, then they should consider themselves LUCKY, because black people have it way worse….quit playing captain save a ho, and come up with a solution that will help our black President, instead of worrying about your PR friend; I’m very sure she can take care of herself.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/lindahi50/ lindahi50

    Well I can say one thing, it is a known fact that the majority of White America owns the media. So they can write and say what they want to. Nothing said or done for the most part. But to attack children this is a sad but pathetic group.

    People are so dumb, and they can not get over the fact of a Black man in the WHITE HOUSE.
    And he is doing a great job!

    WTF??? I guess they can’t attack the President’s work, so they attack his wife and children. What a bunch of ignorant cowards.

Free republic is going to stir up the right one what they dont realize is that isnt only blacks whites have to worry about if they f**k with President Obama it’s some of us and a wholeeeee lot of others we are set on go as along as they dont touch him damit we wont have to shut this b***h down and the worst thing about is that we have no black men to help they are with white hoes damn oh well we have the iranians and etc LOLOLOL

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/1BillionaireMnd/ 1BillionaireMnd

    I’m a Pastor and find it very sad that people(especially many white people seem to think that they are a superior race). My heart aches for them. It will be a sad day wehn many who refuse to change die and find themselves standing before a holy God trying to explain themselves. Its sadder that meny will end up in an eternal hell. Many on the far right conservative movement are closet racist trying to look respectable with their involvement in particular organizations. Its time for America to wake up and stop being so cowardess and really begin to deal with racism in the nation.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Peninsulachick/ Peninsulachick

    The Bible says that the fool is wise in his own eyes; truer words have never been spoken. These ignorant comments were made by people who are no longer relevant to society. The election of a bi-racial president says that people in this country are ready and willing to move beyond the color issue into a more posiitve future. These people, however, are lost and afraid. They realize there is no place for them and their ignorance in the “new” America, because they only offer hatemongering, stupidity and an imagined superiority based on skin color, as opposed to real ability or intellect. Sad that they are sitting someplace force-feeding another generation of hapless children this same rotted school of thought. Hopefully, these children will reject the teachings of these vile creatures, and embrace a higher, more positive way of thinking and being…

    The only thing surprising is black people keep thinking that white people give a damn about us. Even the ones at your job that you think you are cool with,talk about you behind your back.So I know a bunch of you having jungle fever azz negros are gonna be mad but oh well. Some of you are gonna swear up and down that you found one that love you, but it is the same old thing like it was in slavery. A white man see a piece of black azz he wants and a white women see’s the d-ck slanging mandingo that she wants.And of course you have the brother’s and sisters with low self esteem who claim they love everybody but hate dating another brother or sister. The Worst LMAO

    FUNNY! These types of things will continue for as long as our people allow it! When you look at other races and cultures, they have no problem coming together to make a point or reach a goal, if Obama was mexican, you better believe that every brown skinned person and organization would be putting serious action on ALL levels, to make certain their voices would be heard & strength felt. We as a people need to STAND up & start supporting each other as a united front! If we as a people can achive this… Then maybe we can come to a point where we can stop getting PUNK”D! Yes we as black americans are getting punk’d and like fools we continue to fight each other at every turn, but bow down to all others! Like I said FUNNY!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kyra4life/ kyra4life

    c thats y us blacks never get respect or praise on anything we do cause we are jealous of each other. when 1 black person see’s another black person doing good that other person does everything in his power to bring that person down. but its time for a change. im glad that there is a black person is in office. and if obama wants to help take care of his mother in law then let it be. it aint your money so y worry about it.

    These racist Republican’s,and all the racist’s of the world…are so miserable right about now!The world as they once knew it is changing around them and their’s nothing they can do about it.Their kid’s are rebelling against them…dating outside of their race,having mixed kid’s.They’re so stressed out that pretty soon we won’t have to worry about them.Heart attack’s and strokes will be running rampant amongst them.No i don’t wish bad luck amongst anyone.”God doesn’t like UGLY” Taking pop shot’s at President Obama,and Michelle i can see that.Don’t stoop so low as to talk about innocent children.This will only further damage their party,and keep them down.Not only black’s are watching their activity but lot’s of other minority races.They probably figure if they feel that badly…about us where would that leave them.The more minorities are appointed to high positions…the more stressed out they’ll become.The “Uncle Tom’s”,of their party better wake up!
