Hmmm.

I’m willing to cut **laudnem** some slack. It’s completely possible it was a google bomb joke rather than a racist one. If he thinks that photoshoping the first lady to make her look like a monkey is funny, then he’s an asshole. If he’s laughing at the stupidity of someone who took the time to actually do it… well, that’s a different story.

There’s this exchange too:

Right there he says he thinks the first lady is sexy.

Cut the guy some slack.
