South Carolina GOP Activist Rusty DePass: “Escaped Gorilla Was Ancestor of Michelle Obama”
Posted by Media Outrage on June 16, 2009
These racist retards are just getting bolder and bolder with each passing year. South Carolina GOP Activist Russ DePass stepped way out-of-pocket when he said that an escaped gorilla was an ancestor of First Lady Michelle Obama.
Via HuffingtonPost:
South Carolina GOP activist and former chairman of the state elections commission Rusty DePass has apologized for saying a gorilla that escaped from a zoo was an “ancestor” of Michelle Obama.
The controversy started when FITSNews, a local politics Website, obtained a screengrab of DePass’s comment on Facebook.
After an aide to state Attorney General Henry McMaster detailed the escape of the gorilla from Columbia’s Riverbanks Zoo, DePass responded with a comment: “I’m sure it’s just one of Michelle’s ancestors – probably harmless.”
DePass later admitted to WIS News that he was referring to Michelle Obama and said, “I am as sorry as I can be if I offended anyone. The comment was clearly in jest.”
Mediaoutrage- If he offended anyone?!?! This coward is off the chain and needs to sit his ass down asap.

He’s only sorry he got caught. Not for the comment. I dont think we should feel angry to this guy…he’s from Buttfuck, South Carolina where his own cousin is probably his wife so how can we be upset at this hump fuck!?!

Yeah he’s just sorry he got caught. He meant what he said. With a name like Rusty they should know he ain’t wrapped too tight. Sound like somebody fresh out the trailer park.

What circus did this clown escape from??? And to address the issue, did Rusty mean an ancestor of his and mistakenly said Michelle’s name. This may come off racist or whatever but white people some of you look more like walking apes than any other race on this planet. I’m not trying to sound racist, but that’s the honest truth and i’m pretty sure a lot of you would agree. I SAID SOME, NOT ALL…

I am so over remarks like this being excused with a half-assed apology. How the hell can you say sh*t like that and wonder *if* you offended some one? Eff’n gorrilla! It is 2009, this dude went to school with Strom Thruman. He knew what the hell he was saying. I understand I shouldn’t even give this ass wipe this much energy but damn…*sighs* feel a little better

We have bigger issues to worry about. Ignorance is just that. Let’s not step to their level let’s rise above it. You can’t send someone to jail for making ignorant comments but you can put them on blast and expose their ignorance.

Yo… I havn’t had time to read everyone’s post’s but nothing is a surprise anymore.. I
actually wish people would be more upfront then there wouldn’t be a need for apologies because the person saying stupid shyt behind closed doors would never have to uphold a bullshyt image just to keep a paycheck anymore…
Yea I Said It said
Usually the ones making disparaging remarks are the same ones behind closed doors sleeping with the race they put down… Go ask Thruman, he has a black daughter to prove it.
The people that show their true intent and feelings are not a threat,you know where they stand and how to deal. It’s the ones that smile in your face and behind closed doors will make a noose for your neck that are cowards. They hide behind a computer,wear white sheets,sit in congress,and even take a turn in the white house more than once. I am never suprised by things anyone says.
Hell we even say things on this site against other races and listen to comedians say things about other races and call it jokes. We are all racist to some extent. I know i am… I repeat all the time my mother is white, yet i despise her family and call them all kinds of trailer park trash.(assuming most white people live in trailer parks) I should know better cause my parents taught me better.
If history tells the story there is a race that evolved from monkeys,apes, however you want to call it. Because of the black fur on apes,somehow it became the race of black american. Charge the ignorance to his mind. We can really debate where man-kind came from. Either the bible version or some form of prehistoric version. Don’t allow comments to cloud what you really know…… Just my Opinion.
