Woman sacked over Michelle Obama racist post
sky news ^

Posted on 11/15/2016 9:18:14 AM PST by traumer

An official from West Virginia has reportedly lost her job after posting a racist comment about Michelle Obama on Facebook.

After Donald Trump won the US presidential election, Pamela Ramsey Taylor, from the Clay Development Corporation, posted: "It will be refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified First Lady in the White House. I'm tired of seeing an Ape in heels."

Clay's mayor, Beverly Whaling, responded: "Just made my day Pam."

The post, which was initially reported by WSAZ-TV, was shared hundreds of times before it was deleted.

Yes a stupid comment. Everyone knows that Sasquatch is NOT an ape.

See this is why I love FReepers so much. Fun, comedy and education all at once.

Yes, it’s covered by the First Amendment.
Yes, it’s racist,and beneath the dignity of educated, civilized people.
Same goes for calling her ‘the Wookie.’

In reviewing the case the court also held that was a private comment.

An interesting point that many forget in this day of individual 'public' communication ability.

What you say to a friend, or a co-worker should be considered 'private discussion'. Nowadays, everyone has the ability to be their own NEW YORK TIMES. Putting your comments on an OPEN PUBLICLY ACCESSED MEDIA FACILITY/WEBSITE could be/and is being considered equal to the limits and responsibilities imposed on the 'press'. And for the same reason.

I recall we were all pretty cheesed off about those political cartoons that portrayed Condi Rice as a monkey. The principle is exactly the same here.

Right. Michelle shouldn't be compared to an ape. It's racist and we all know why.

However, she should avoid wearing heels.

However,would that woman lost her job if she described Mrs Trump as an ape?

Maybe not. She should be requested to make an appointment with her eye doctor, though.

We are guaranteed free speech by the Constitution. It does not guarantee no consequences for said free speech.

True - if motivated enough and having the resources. I doubt that in this case anyone would’ve gone to the length of ferreting her out.

Who am I?
