Continuous racist attacks against First Lady Michelle Obama and President Barack Obama. |
This is getting ridiculous.
A Virginia school board member is catching heat for sending a forward letter about First Lady Michelle Obama. This is like the umpteenth racist email being sent from some conservative bigot.
The utter disrespect to President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama is out of hand. These keyboard warriors are entitled to their opinions and all, but at what price will these so-called professionals pay when their students (and likely their parents) get wind of this type of behavior from those who are trusted in the public and private sector.

FW: FWD: FW: REUNION!!
CAN YOU GUESS ....WHAT THIS IS?
MICHELLE OBAMA'S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION !!!!!!!
|
I'm surely going to hell for this one.....
A real laugh riot. Herb DeGroft had thought this was a joke. He didn't realized that his email being sent to his co-workers was a mistake. Or did he?
Regardless, this clown and his email are under some serious flack. This went as far to getting him ousted from his elected post. A string of racist emails and controversial remarks have shaken up a school board in southeastern Virginia's Isle of Wight County, and now one of the people responsible is facing intense pressure to resign.
Angry White people attack Michelle Obama. |
According to NBC12, one of the emails DeGroft sent to colleagues depicted bare-breasted, African female warriors along with the caption, "Michelle Obama's high school reunion." Another message claimed the first lady was paid $50 to model in National Geographic.
The emails didn't stop with DeGroft's initial sending. Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Byron “Buzz” Bailey forwarded them to other board members and county employees. Bailey drew criticism earlier this month for saying "the South will rise again" during a board meeting on budgetary issues. Those comments, as well as his involvement with the racist emails, led to the resignation of Isle of Wight Division Superintendent Katrise Perera.
Isle of Wight NAACP Chapter President Dottie Harris and other community members have called for both DeGroft and Bailey to resign over the recent flare-up, the Daily Press in Hampton Roads, Va., reports. They've also threatened to mount a recall effort against Bailey.
DeGroft has apologized and expressed regret for his involvement in the controversy, claiming that "there was no intention or motivation...to be inappropriate...discriminatory against anyone," according to WAVY. But NBC12 reports that some school board members said they've been receiving similar emails from him since January 2012.
This is Herb DeGroft. He's the guy with no racist bone in his body! |
"The emails that they're talking about are some that I just sent along from somebody else," Bailey said, according to the Daily Press. "None of them I initiated, if you look at them. They were all initiated by somebody else."
Last week, Isle of Wight County Board of Supervisors voted to keep Bailey in his position as vice chairman.
DeGroft hasn't heeded the calls to resign.
This is what the Republican Party does. They pass around emails that some find offensive. They act like they didn't know and want to "sincerely" apologize for this.
Look, you don't have to apologize. We understand!
You have plenty of "black friends".
