Don't you see how your post makes my point? Why are we talking in terms of her mannerism's "screaming ghetto." You're so stupidly biased and racist that you can't even appreciate the irony of your own post.
But I get it....Yeah, nothing like an uppity negro to get the white trash upset, is there? Michelle isn't a "good" negro because she doesn't hold her elbow the right way or because she doesn't react graciously to John Boehner or the incredible amount of hatred, racism and venom that people like you heap on her and her husband.
And, sorry the "We can't be racists because you call us racists" argument isn't going to fly. Posting up a picture of a monkey next George Bush means some people don't think he was very smart. Posting up a picture of a monkey next to an African-American has a different meaning. And you know it. And, if you can't see it, you're either blind, ignorant or stupid.

here are some examples:
On April 2009
Inter Milan's
Mario Balotelli, an Italian footballer of Ghanaian descent, was subjected to racial abuse from
Juventus fans.
[29] They were handed a one game home fan ban as a result.
[30] In Euro 2012, he fell victim to monkey chants during a match against Spain.
[31] These monkey chants have been heard throughout Europe to express racism towards African Americans. Mario was substituted out of the game as a result of the chants and the frustration he was revealing.[30] During the English Premiere League match, Manchester City vs. Stoke City, Mario Balotelli was again forced racial slurs. A Stoke city fan yelled, "You're dirty, take a bath", and also was heard calling him a black monkey. The Stoke fan was banned for three years. [31][32]

When
Spain played
England in a
friendly match at the
Bernabéu soon after, on 17 November 2004, the atmosphere was hostile. Whenever black England players touched the ball, a significant proportion of the Spanish crowd began to make monkey chants, in particular to
Shaun Wright-Phillips and
Ashley Cole. And when England sang their national anthem before kick off, Spanish fans also racially chanted against English players. Aragonés' remarks were widely blamed by the British press for inciting the incident. After an investigation into the events during the match,
UEFA fined the
RFEF 100,000
CHF/ 87,000
USD and warned that any future incidents would be punished more severely.
[67] The incident even drew reactions from then-Prime Minister
Tony Blair and Sports Minister
Richard Caborn.,
[68] with Caborn making the claim that the behaviour of Spanish fans was twenty or thirty years behind that their British counterparts.
[69] UEFA noted that possible punishments could include suspension from major international tournaments or the closure of
Spain home international matches to supporters. On 7 February 2007 Aragonés won an appeal over the offence, with the misdemeanour being downgraded to "conduct which could be considered to be racist".

In February 2005,
Samuel Eto'o suffered from racially-driven verbal abuse by some
Real Zaragoza spectators during a match for
FC Barcelona. The fans began making monkey-like chants whenever Eto'o had possession of the ball and peanuts were hurled onto the pitch. Eto'o threatened to leave the pitch in the middle of the game, but was prevented by the intervention of his team-mates and the referee, who rushed to the pitch to calm him down.
