Apparently, First Lady Michelle Obama got a very postive response during her visit to South Africa:

"SOWETO, South Africa — Graca Machel, the wife of South Africa’s first black president, Nelson Mandela, took the pulpit of the Regina Mundi church here Wednesday to introduce Michelle Obama, the wife of America’s first black president.

“We welcome you as a daughter of African heritage, and we can call you the queen of our world,” said Machel, an advocate for women and children, noting that Regina Mundi means queen of the world in Latin.

The prickly ambivalence that South Africans often show toward the United States, which is often perceived here as an overbearing superpower, seems to have been suspended for the first lady. South Africans have embraced her with stirring emotion since she arrived Monday, and she has been hugging them back, one by one, stop after stop."

But right-wingers are not very happy about this. Especially the wingnuts at Freerepublic.com, an especially rabid, backwards type of site, still locked into the year 1952 or so...

The best part is alway the comments. Here is the Freeper page for the story about the FLOTUS in South Africa. And some choice comments about the First Lady of the United States of America:

“We welcome you as a daughter of African heritage, and we can call you the queen of our world,”

Well then, she owes it to her subjects to take her family to Africa and rule them!

But of course, these clowns are not racist, and neither is this photo they also have on their comments page:




Ahhh, those classy conservatives at Freeper....

So, what say you all? Racist, or just good old refreshing free speech? Or are they all just sufferering from ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome)?
