Russians Mock Obama With Racist Laser Projection On U.S. Embassy In Moscow

President Barack Obama received birthday greetings from around the world when he turned 53 years old on Monday, but some of those wishes weren't exactly well.

In Russia, protesters used lasers to beam a crude, racist image of Obama onto the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. The image showed the president in a birthday hat with a banana going in and out of his mouth followed by projections of the words "Obama" and "happy birthday" in English.

The Moscow Student Initiative took responsibility for the stunt on VK, a social network popular in Russia.

Racially-charged messages aimed at Obama have been cropping up with alarming regularity in Russia. Also on the president's birthday, a banner depicting Obama as the "Three Wise Monkeys" -- see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil -- was unfurled near the U.S. Consular Section in Moscow, The Washington Post reported.

In June, a series of racially-charged posters were displayed around the city of Perm, with one showing the president with a banana, The Moscow Times reported.

And in February, former figure skater Irina Rodnina, who helped to light the Olympic flame in Sochi, tweeted a racist image of Obama with a banana. Rodnina, a three-time gold medalist, is currently a politician.

nothing unusual for Russia!

Liberal, socialist and communist keep the flames of racism burning.

In the Soviet-Era they had a lot of Students there,even had a University named after Lumumba!
But had the African Students segregated,and that in the free-est Country on Earth,in the Underdogs Paradise!

and I'm sure no one was brain washed there either.

Propaganda 101?

Wouldn't the banana trick be about his sexual preference and not racist?

Patrice Lumumba used to be a Student in the USSR!

Maybe it has a dual meaning?

and Conrad, you knowledge of things amazes me.

well,I have been around a while!

You are a Walking Wkipedia.

Is this any shock? Putin has been playing Obama like a puppet since Obama first took office and Obama is stupid enough and walked right into it and lets Putin walk all over him.

I will say this is a disgusting racist display that is way out of line.

No, one of the most common insults to a Black person other then the N bomb is calling them a Monkey or referring to them as such. It's pretty disgusting if you ask me.

If it was a sexual thing it would have been a Cucumber.

well,I do have Google right at my fingertip as well!

Here are the banana pictures.

Let's examine them, please.

I say, they refer to his sexual preference.

Why?

If they wanted to project him as a monkey, there'd be ape like features.

Bigger ears, etc.



The in and out motions are definitely sexual.





Very similar, IMO.

PS
It's rude to look a woman in the eyes while she's eating a banana. Unless, she is looking at you first.

well,his Ears are rather biggish,though in real life!
