West Virginia mayor under fire, official removed after racist Michelle Obama post

Calling the First Lady an "ape in heels", is completely different from calling her fat. (To be clear, you're wrong about that anyway.)

You mean Bucky is wrong yet again? Shocking I tell you.
 
Bucky said:
The post itself maybe risqué however it is factual. We have an overweight first lady that likes to promote healthy eating. You know Michelle is eating Chicago Deep Dish Pizza for breakfast everyday.

She's overweight and unattractive. She does not look very feminine.

She is very overweight. The White House probably is running low on chairs after all the ones she has broken sitting on them.

Talk to the students and athletes at Oregon State. Her brother was a loser that used his brother-in-laws presidency for a job.

The Obama/Robinson legacy is diminishing as we speak.

I know that is true, but it is and has been overblown. There is plenty of hate coming from people of color too. Somehow we have managed to ignore that, or excuse it.

Going to remind you of this post when you accuse PeteEU of when he complains anti-muslim threads don't look at Christian crime. Seems OK for you to try and deflect and divert the thread from the intended discussion..

Repeal the First Amendment!!!

Apparently, that is the goal of people like you. Any time some racist ****wad says some racist ****wad thing, people like you come out of the woodwork and demand that nobody ever criticize them. Sorry, bro, the real world isn't a safe space.
 
Gina said:
Why? Her rights were not violated. She got to say what she wanted. No one is arresting her for that.



I totally don't get this one. Why?

Some people believe that the first amendment gives them the right to be racist, misogynist, and hateful without facing any consequences for their words.

So the state can act on people because of their speech under certain situations? I don't recall reading that in the first amendment.

There's a whole bunch of stuff you didn't read in the !st Amendment that'll get your ass in a sling. I guess the Founders just couldn't anticipate the degree of guidance and supervision that would be required of some Americans.

how is calling someone an animal reflective of their race? I'm in total agreement that it's offensive to be compared to an animal we morphed from (lol) but seriously, where did the race come in?

Are you pretending that people in the south never used the terms 'ape' and 'gorilla' as racial slurs?

She was however fired for speech by the state.

Clay County Development Corp. director Pamela Ramsey Taylor was fired. The mayor resigned.

Clay County Development Corp is not the state.

As I've been saying for years, social media is the scourge of society. But in one respect, it does seem to expose a lot of scum that feels the interwebs are anonymous and they can't be hurt. In that respect, it does society a service.

As for the comment you posted - totally indefensible and very ugly. As longview so rightly noted, being gracious in victory is, in my view, even more important than being gracious in defeat.

Social media is something that I pretty much avoid but it does give turds the ability to float to the surface.

Like libel and slander laws. Completely unfounded bullcrap that can't possibly be constitutional, but there it is.

I sense the new Secretary of Education in the Trump administration there.. perfect fit!

With any luck, there will not be a department of Education to require a secretary!

Gonna need a lot of luck for that. Bet it will just have a name change to something like Department of American Patriotism and Racial Purity.

There is actually very little constitutional bases for the department of Education.
What makes you think Trump is a hard core racist, the man is socially very moderate.

LOL the constitution.. like that will matter now that the GOP is in charge? Did not matter under Bush, so why now?
