The crude, disrespectful and racist overtures toward Michelle Obama by SCGOP activist & former State Senate candidate Rusty DePass displays his inappropriate, humorless and UNAMERICAN view of the Obama family and the institution of The White House. Of course, there will be those that defend the remark as an ancestral reference, but this was not an anthropoid study of the development of the human race; this was a slanderous attack, against Michelle Obama, The First Lady. Maybe I should say that again, The First Lady of the United States. The wife of the President of the United States. The President of the United States.
It is widely known that the GOP and the DNC are combatants in the political arena, and jabs are always and routinely expected, but that line is obliterated by senseless slander against one's heritage and race. When insensitive and UNAMERICAN remarks like this show up on social network sites by members, elected or selected, to represent the views of their respective communities and this is the type of behavior we have to endure, it is no wonder that this country is in disrepair. A statement like this, and there have been others, show not only the HIIDEN despise and contempt targeted at the Obamas, but at the African American community at large.
Read that last line again and very carefully, because I’m sure you feel that that does not pertain to you. You’re upset. You ask, “Why are you classifying me and everyone else to this idiot?” Welcome to the world of generalization. Besides, if you were born during the late 70s and later, you are more than likely to young to realize the impact of what is going on. Some of you may even think that this is not newsworthy, which unfortunately show your immaturity and apathetic views on events that could impact you.
It's not your fault, to a degree, it just falls back to the reason why this rant was posted.
