Using Google Images (moderate search), google Michelle Obama. The people who google bombed during the Bush era are back. ---

So making the First Lady look like a monkey is a giggle, eh? Especially with the racist overtones it implies? Not that I’m saying YOU’RE (yes I mean you)a racist, just that some people certainly will see it that way. ---

Yeah - that’s not giggle worthy. That’s offensive. ---

All I got was a series of pictures of Michelle Obama. Although the high school pic was amusing. (Granted, my high school pics are probably funnier). ---

I just can’t help wondering if it is the same people who did the Bush ones - anything to stir the pot? EDIT: It’s weird that the offensive pictures only turn up on Moderate search, and not safe search off. ---

The good news: I’m not seeing the images **Laudenum** is talking about. The bad news: I knew it was going to be monkey pictures. Can you reverse or counteract a Google bombing? Maybe that’s been done here. > [@Laudenum](#): > > I just can’t help wondering if it is the same people who did the Bush ones I’m going to say it’s exceptionally unlikely. ---

I saw an article that says it’s been taken down. But IIRC, it was [this picture](http://www.dancewithshadows.com/celebrity/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/michelle-obama-3.jpg) but with more of a monkey countenance. ---

What racism?

The only reason to compare Michelle Obama to a monkey is because shes black, theres NO other reason. Shes not a politician, she doesn’t make policy, comparing this to Bush who was compared to a chimp because of his incompetence and saying its not racist is deliberate stupidity. Its obviously and blatantly racist and you are a jackass if you think its in any way shape or form amusing. ---

I searched for “michelle obama.” Right under the number of results I got “Related searches: michelle obama monkey”. Looks like this monkey stuff is here to stay. And it always will be, as long as people keep shitting their pants about ZOMGMONKEYSRACISMZOMGMONKEYSRACISM whenever a monkey and a black person are associated in any way. Guess what - we’re all related to monkeys. Black people are related to monkeys. White people are related to monkeys. All of us are hairless, slightly-more-intelligent monkeys, so just accept it.
