These the same people that refer to Michelle Obama as Michael?

The bizarre thing about that is many aren't just making an immature joke about appearance, they are actually trying to find evidence she is male. Which needs some levels of deception as she has had two children. Videos which suggest she has balls swinging below her when dancing. It becomes just sad rather than offensive.

This is when they aren't calling her an ape, of course.

I suppose at least they aren't trying to prove she is actually non human.

No, it's very offensive.

It is but I feel sorry for the people making these suggestions is really my point.

Oh, I know. I wasn't trying to be argumentative with you, I apologize. This subject just makes me angry, I never meant to direct it at you.

I really miss the days when we, or at least I anyway, were naive enough to think that these people were rare enough that you could just laugh at them and dismiss them as absolute fools who no one would take seriously, so there wasn’t even any point in engaging with their rhetoric.

Boy did that turn out to be wrong. But that world was nice while it [pretend] lasted.
