Must not find Mrs Obama unattractive
The ancient Romans had a saying: "De gustibus non disputandum est" -- translatable as "Concerning taste there can be no dispute". That tolerance apparently does not apply when commenting on Mrs Obama's looks. The negative judgment of two women below about Mrs Obama's looks has been vigorously disputed
But, like it or not, the de facto worldwide standard of female beauty is Nordic -- narrow faces, fine features, white skin, blue eyes and blonde hair. Even some Japanese ladies blond their hair. To black males, a white wife is a trophy. Mrs Obama has no Nordic attributes at all. If her skin were white she would be ugly. She has received acceptance for political reasons only
We may deplore the Nordic standard but saying that people should adopt other standards for females that they like to look at is pissing into the wind. It won't happen. It will have zero influence. Brown hair can be accepted in lieu of blonde but that is the only variation to the top standard.
I too will be glad to see Melania in the White House
TWO American women — a mayor and local business leader — are under pressure to resign over a racist post about First Lady Michelle Obama that has sparked a social media row.
Clay County Development Corp director Pamela Ramsey Taylor made the post following Donald Trump’s election as president, saying: “It will be refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified First Lady in the White House. I’m tired of seeing a Ape in heels.”
Clay Mayor Beverly Whaling responded: “Just made my day Pam.” The post, first reported by WSAZ-TV, was shared hundreds of times on social media before it was deleted.
The Facebook pages of Taylor and Whaling couldn’t be found Monday. A call to the Clay County Development Corp. went unanswered and Whaling didn’t immediately return a telephone message.
An online petition has been launched, calling for Whaling and Taylor to be fired.
The petition titled ‘Terminate Clay County Mayor and County Development Corp Director For Calling Michelle Obama an “Ape in Heels”’, has had more than 33,000 online supporters so far.
The non-profit development group provides services to elderly and low-income residents in Clay County. It is funded through state and federal grants and local fees.

Racist comments are unacceptable on social media. I don't support the comments about Michelle Obama, nor do I endorse comments about the new first lady about her looks. Comments derogatory to members of the Executive, the Congress along with state and local representatives need to be disavowed at the earliest opportunity.
Ms. Ramsey and Ms. Whaling have the right to make the comments they did. And the right(?) to accept any consequences of making them.
In my opinion their comments show a complete lack of class, common sense, and respect. To clarify, I do not support our current president and his policies, and will dispute them vehemently. But making snide comments about his family members appearance is the mark of one who has nothing of worth to say.
So begins the Trump era. You get what you voted for.
Calling the great zero's spouse an "ape" is no worse than calling Melania a "slut" or "whore" as many in social media did in the run up to the election. To naively believe as ANON 3:00 AM does that social discourse will be civil and not resort to name calling is ludicrous. Name calling is the fiefdom of the intellectually challenged and is dismissed easily. Those who rant about all the isim's are just name calling in response to name calling and just as bereft of merit. The great zeros are a waste of talent and will go down in history as such because they wasted the chance for genuine change and a real chance to improve black/white relations in the cause of advancing socialism.

So begins the Trump era.
Not till January. You can google it.
I wonder how much she will charge for a night with her in the Lincoln bedroom.
Mrs Obama has a face that would stop a clock ban her from london
UGLY IS AS UGLY DOES. it is quite sad that in 2016 this inane bs still is rampant keep your petty ignorant backward comment in the closet like your IQ. U OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED & FORCED TO APOLOGIZE, neither of u are petite classy or kind. oh melania being near next to NUDE IS APPROPRIATE .u 2 women jealous?
"So begins the Trump era. You get what you voted for."
Trump had nothing to do with it. You were asleep at the wheel when you banged that out Anon 5:26. Grow up.
Didn't those sheila's know that socialist media is anything but? They may have the right to their opinions but how the hell didn't they expect some repercussions for pointless bitching? They should grow up too, instead of acting like pimply-faced juvenile bullies.
I guess my issue is - was it intended as a slight against her looks, her intellect, or her race?
To many calling any black person an ape MUST be racist. They don't seem to feel the same way about using it for a white person.
I don't necessarily see it that way.
I don't think Michelle Obama is completely unattractive - she's not my type but I've seen worse. But, as JJR says, taste is subjective.
George W was compared to an ape many times - mostly for his looks and intellect.
Is it possible this was just ill-advised and not racist?
HOMELY is the word for for the first lady plus her stupid school lunch programs as well

By your rational, Hillary is responsible for all the rioting taking place by the Trump haters.
The anti trump hooligans need to leave before the new year we dont want these spoiled little brats cuasing a mess
The anti-Trump hooligans are the mess and proving to the world exactly what they are and stand for, including defecating in the streets. A finer example of regressive evolution would be hard to find.
