Whoa, that IS racist!
Michelle was just being blunt. To the right that makers her uppity, and the right hates uppity or outspoken Blacks. The right only wants passive docile Blacks who will accept and be content with White dominance. They hate the Obamas, like they hate any liberal or Democrat Black politician, because they (the right) perceives the Obamas as not accepting America as a country where White rule should not be questioned.
White rule has been gone for a long time. It has to do with Michelle’s racism against white people and her intolerance for other peoples beliefs.
It’s 2018 and time to get over it. Michelle has never even experienced racism or this bullshit passiveness you talk about. People like you are the problem.
Why is Christianity so popular in Africa?
For example, there are more practicing Anglicans in Africa than in the UK at this point.
Are Subsaharan Africans just more open-minded?
Also, where in the old testament did semities demonize dark-skinned people? Not saying it didn't happen, just curious what you are referring to.
I know it's not relevant today, but John Sinclair - who was the manager of the protopunk bands MC5, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, my dad's band the Up and a self proclaimed communist revolutionary in the late 60's - was busted with two joints, and was sentenced to 10 years.
John Lennon, Stevie Wonder, my dad's band and some others organized a concert/event called "Ten for Two", and Sinclair was eventually released due to national coverage.
(my dad's band is in the beginning, he's on drums )

The weird or problematic part of Barack's portrait is his left hand seems to indicate he has 6 fingers. Don't know what that is about.
They called her an ape dude.
I know, but I ain't talking about the pre Jesus mythologyIt's origins go back to the Sumerian epic of Gilgamesh. The conquering Semites adopted the Sumeria creation myth and then over time fashioned the Abrahamic religion. It may technically have a lot to owe to Egyptian religious ideas, but people don't generally associate Egypt with African culture, because the later alludes to SubSaharan Africans.
And Yahoo comments on these portraits going to Yahoo comments. Just your typical anti Obamas invective.

They're attacking the artist, which is fine. Accusing the Obama's of racism is retarded because of the artist chosen. This is what people find important?
Racist? Don’t know about that. I’d say hiring a racist painter says less than appointing a racist attorney general.
And that person was punished.

When is this racist going to lose his job?
@Pseudo Sane I think we need the painting in the your first post.
The painting is not that bad, it's kinda of cool but not really. I'm not a fan of modern, contemporary arts anyway. And TS posting Caravaggio, oh boy that's was just cruel. I'm always stunned and depressed to remember we moved from artists like Caravaggio and Rembrandt to "artists" painting colorful strips on a canvas and calling it art.
I do have a problem with Obama's artist choice. If the artists himself acknowledged that it's a racial thing, a "kill withey thing" then we have a big problem. Did they know and not cared? Or did they pick the guy just because he's black? Either way, an artist like that shouldn't be near the former POTUS and FLOTUS. But now he's eternalized with the Obamas.
Are you trying to claim an Attorney General should be held to a different standard than a painter?!
