Two of Russia's most famous Olympians, three-time gold medalists Irina Rodnina and Vladislav Tretiak, were the country's final torchbearers. Both have unique ties to U.S. President Barack Obama — one more offensive than the other.
An Olympic figure skating gold medalist in 1972, '76 and '80, Rodnina came under fire for what many perceived as racism in September, when she posted a photo on Twitter of the commander in chief and first lady Michelle Obama with a digitally manipulated image of a hand holding a banana superimposed over the couple.

I am revising all my Cold War prejudices and and coming to love the Russian people.
Rodina
Uh, Russia has this thing called an immigration problem (don’t we all?)
Okay, she’s on her way to earning my forgiveness for participating in the show.
Da ... and “a cheese nut” means Fatherland ;)
Because of a tweet?
From one racist to another
It’s another Putin shot at Obama
The fact that this woman is a Russian citizen, and not an American, is probably driving the left nuts because they can’t do anything to destroy her career.
Why is he giving the international face of I’m into giving B J’s
“Compare Obama to chimp”
I don’t know if it’s racist, but it’s probably offensive - to the Chimp
>>Because of a tweet?
No. Because of all the things they do to preserve Christianity and the Caucasian race. They are not overwhelmed with the cowardice that infects Americans with regards to saving their culture from the Third World invasion.
If that’s so, and they don’t learn from the failure of the west ongoing right in front in their faces, then it seems that whites in toto will deserve the extinction of our genes, including our fatal suicidally altruistic tendencies. I wouldn’t want to be one of the last few whites in that world anyway. Detroit, run from a distance by China. Unless China cares enough for reasons of their own to force order on the Detroits.
Just ask the Georgians. /s
A chimp could make a better healthcare system.
Pray America is Waking
OH, the HUGE MANATEE!
I am SHOCKED!!
/sarc
GMTA!! LMAO
Yeah, I especially love that part. Even if she were British, like a certain ballerina whose name escapes me, she would be hounded out of her career by the left.
I dont remember anyone being offended when Bush was depicted as Hitler or any of the other countless attacks he took..but someone posts a silly photo of the left’s Messiah and all of a sudden it’s a big deal
If I were the chimp in question I would be offended being compared to a Commie
