In reply to the discussion: Russians mock Obama with racist images on US Embassy in Moscow [View all]JustAnotherGen
(31,969 posts)I just think they are bunch of bigots who don't like us black folk much. It would seem - they kind of think of us like savages you know? What else am I supposed to think? If they had any respect for us as human beings - they would have collective shame about what they did.
Put yourself in my shoes - how would you feel if you were presented as a "banana eating porch monkey". And then you came to DU and a member 'rationalized' that.
How would you feel knowing you - a black American - were being told to basically lick their heels because they had a good reason.
Had they attacked President Obama's beliefs or actions with words - that's one thing
But the little punks knew exactly what they were doing.
So if I were to go there - I'd be wondering - who hates me that much? Who am I standing next to that thinks I'm a 'banana eating porch monkey'.
That's what that image is generally related to.
I'll apologize when a high ranking Russian official apologizes. Not before.
