Michelle Obama Spanish half nude slave

Let me say what most people are already thinking.

WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON IN THIS PICTURE?

This is a photo of First Lady Michelle Obama on the cover of “Magazine de Fuera de Serie,” a Spanish magazine. The image has been altered by placing Mrs. Obama’s face on the body of a “negress slave” who was featured in French artwork, Portrait d’une négresse, an historic piece painted after French slavery ended.

The altered picture accompanies a Spanish-language article about the first lady and the upcoming election titled, “Michelle Granddaughter of a Slave, Lady of America.”

The person responsible for this depiction wanted to tie Mrs. Obama’s heritage to the present. But, obviously they missed how this may be perceived in the U.S. Featuring the first lady as a slave is not exactly a compliment in our hyper-sensitive media environment.

Let’s not forget that the Internet almost blew a fuse two weeks ago when Vice President Joe Biden said that Mitt Romney “wants to put y’all back in chains…,” in reference to his economic policies.

This depiction of Mrs. Obama is a no-go for me!

    I have read a number of African American blogs where the majority of the posts consider the portrait of Michelle Obama as outrageous and even racist!!!! This is why it is absolutely crucial for President Obama to raise the quality standards of public education, because we have to educate people to freedom of expression and abolish ignorance otherwise we might find the future society still in a condition of slavery. The portrait is by Karine Percheron-Daniels who has an unprecedented track record of nude portrait of high society members. In her works may be clearly seen a nipple of Michelle Obama, one of Princess Diana of Wales and a piece of buttock of Isabel II, so the African American community should just relax because there is not just Michelle Obama s breast on display and most of all they have to get used to what comes with power: satire, something that is the warranty of freedom since power was invented.

    A no go? again this kind of puritan attitude is the definitive sign (together with the topless ban on US beaches) that despite being the country of freedom and of the first amendment America still has a lot of taboos and a deep sense of prudish that will keep the country far from real social evolution while keeping up with the developing of the higest number of sex offenders and serial killers in the whole planet. America has to get rid of puritanism because puritanism is what keep America isolated from the rest of the Western world.
