Do you find this political cartoon offensive?

[buckshot24]

So much disrespect for our President and his Wife. The attacks have been unrelenting. This woman is highly educated, successful, and classy as fuck.....and white folks still attack her. Amazing.

Im so tired of people saying its not because she's black. It fucking is. Melania Trump is proof of that. She cant even hold a candle to Michelle, she has trashy photos of herself on the internet. She's just some mail order side piece from Russia that got herself a rich husband......and yet, she is considered a better woman than Michelle Obama.

This entire family has been dragged all over the place. A month or so ago, assholes were making comments about Malia heading off to Harvard. They were so bad that the comment section on FoxNews had to be removed. They say even worse shit over on Breitbart.


I hope the Obamas go on a really nice vacation for a few months after they leave.

Cuz only racism causes people to blast others, right? Has to be race!

Melania is from Slovenia, NOT Russia. Some of you are so freaking ignorant and stupid. Perfect examples of "open mouth, insert foot". Educate yourself with facts and logic before open your stupid mouth for the whole world to see.


She was a successful model (began at 16) that worked with several well know agencies and magazines around the world such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, GQ, and on and on. She was featured in Sports Illustrated. She is able to speak at least 5 languages. How many languages can Michelle speak?

She has been associated with various charities, such as The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, The Boy's Club of New York , The American Red Cross, etc.

Uh oh, we've got another one of "these guys". You know, the type that forwards those annoying emails to family members, that relative who thinks they are funny but whome people smile and nod at while trying to walk away. Yeah, he's that guy.

Classy?

Like Hawaii?

Btw, did you notice that all the "classy" pictures were of first ladies (and friend and family), who were in a situation specifically to have themselves painted or have a picture taken and all of Michelle's pics were candid? Of course you didn't but you aren't the type to critically think either.

 

[Zorba]

Offensive...no. Stupid, inaccurate, and completely unfunny...yes.

This.

I also think it completely fails as a political cartoon, but I am not that familiar with Ben Garrison, so I am not sure if it makes more sense in the context of his other work.

I think you just proved his point, although I am sure you are too dumb to realize it.

So you're one of those idiots who respond with insults when confronted with facts that contradict your world views eh? Gotcha.

How the hell else are you ever going to have any "candid" pictures of women who existed before cameras you retard? Paint REALLY fast? Plus several of Michelle's pics were photo ops if you bothered to examine them. Keep grasping at straws buddy.

i don't know how your time machine is coming along but mine is great.

btw, maybe might not want to go to work tomorrow.

im not saying something bad is going to happen.....but you know.

So you're quoting the general goals behind the cartoonist's general work, which may or may not be what is meant to be reflected in every single cartoon.

Have you looked through his work? I have. Now I have to try and forget what I saw.

 

[buckshot24]

As far as I know "he" is a her.

 

[Victorian Gray]

With a stated goal like that and a cartoon that doesn't relate to that goal then they should be called out on it right? Otherwise they are nothing than another right wing propaganda outlet, right?

The cartoon *is* their 'fight'. Look through his work. You'll catch on very quickly.

 

[cubby1223]

Haven't seen a need to look at the person's other work. After seeing this one cartoon confirmed to me I'm not interested.

On a side note, I jumbled up your response with the argument the article was making about that goal. Yes, that was an appropriate response to Fern's question.

 

[Paratus]

First world problems

First family problems.


It's a tasteless unfunny attack on FLOTUS.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Classy?

*snip*

Personally I'm glad Obama isn't hanging out in Camp David often. Convenient excuse to say the President & his extended family were nice enough to go on an early vacation so we (the people expected to work holidays) can spend time with our families.

Then there is this too

So where would someone get a crazy idea to make fun of Michelle in such a way? Gosh... no idea...

So is it really offensive to correctly identify the emperor's lack of clothing?

Facts? Memes are facts now? Yeah, thanks for helping me make my point.

 

[feralkid]

I find Michelle Obama rather meh, neither particularly attractive nor particularly unattractive. However, it's worth pointing out that her "extensive list of accomplishments" is limited to graduating from two Ivy League schools and not screwing up her husband's reign.

This is exactly the reason it is offensive.

It offends people that so many idiots are completely ignorant of many women's accomplishments, and only feel it is important to rate their attractiveness.

Oink!

 

[pcgeek11]

I thought Obama's old lady was a man. Damn learn something new everyday.

Ahhh, the ole unflattering photo defense. For every single one of those photos there's several photos of Lady O that aren't unflattering. And honestly, you are proving my point even further. These types of photos were constantly used to either compare Michelle to a man or to compare her to an animal. Also, you conveniently ignore that fact that a lot of the political cartoons about this family are very racially charged....but its just drawings, right? ha.

 

[Svnla]

It's clear people like whores!

Melania High Class Whore!

Imagine another poster posted the exact same post but put Michelle Obama/Loretta Lynch/Serena William/<insert well know black female> instead of Melania. Let say the screaming of "rrrrrraaaaaaaacccccccciiiiiiiissssssssstttt" would be so loud and he would be ban so fast.

Wow, just wow.

Are other black celebrity women being compared to men or animals?

All political cartoons exaggerate features.

It is racist against Slovenians I guess.

Venus and Serena Williams. Both women are extremely talented and successful tennis players. You could argue that they improved the sport and improved salaries of female players. Both are champions.....both have been disrespected in the same fashion as Lady O.
