Is anyone allowed to crack jokes about Michelle Obama?
Apparently not. Not even if the joke was a wisecrack about a bad makeup job by an actor made up to look like her.
And not even if the joke was made by a biracial presenter on Hispanic TV who is also “openly gay and an activist for causes that favor minorities.” Nor did it help that the man wrote a profuse, even groveling apology to Michelle Obama:
I am the first presenter on Hispanic TV that is openly gay and I am an activist for causes that favor minorities, that have been discriminated against just like me. I openly voted twice for your husband Barack Obama, because I consider him a great man that respects minorities, like me, in this country.
I worked on two Univision shows where I commented about celebrity style, including the real family and Latin first ladies and I have never offended anybody because of their skin color, sexual orientation or nationality. I am a decent person, but a human in the end that makes mistakes like this one.
Although the comment was unpleasant and out of line I do not deserved being called a racist and I have to defend myself for respect and love to my family, my father, my fans and my community.
I was notified verbally that due to a complaint from your office I was fired. An information leak from Univision executives, I was condemend in social media, trying to destroy my career in an unfair manner, without letting me know personally and without an investigation that would allow to clear up the situation.
Again, I offer my humble forgiveness for the misinterpreation and I assume the responsibility.
Yours respectfully,
Rodner Figueroa
The lesson is that there’s zero tolerance for making fun of Michelle Obama!

It all depends on whose chimp is gored.
BTW you know who is a racist?
What I want to know is why Obama hasn’t ended the War on Black People aka the War On Drugs? Maybe he doesn’t like Black people.
The only standards the Left seems to have are double standards.
Their motto: Do as I say, not as I do.
A true Klingon warrior would not care.
As usual you don’t understand first amendment. It says government shall make NO law not univision!
