Raven-Symonè On Michelle Obama: “Some People Look Like Animals” – Video

The Cosby Show actress was defending the Univision  employee who was recently fired for comparing the First Lady to a cast member from the movie, The Planet Of The Apes. Symone made a guest appearance on The View and said, rather convincingly that, “Some people look like animals. I look like a bird. So can I be mad if somebody calls me a Toucan Sam?”

Last week, an ex Univision host named Rodner Figueroa compared the first lady to an ape, saying, “Mind you, you know that Michelle Obama looks like she’s part of the cast of “Planet of the Apes,” the film.” That comment, according to Rosie Perez, a Latin member of The View, was infact… “racist.”

“There is a secret in the Latin community, specifically the Caribbean, South American, Central American Latin community. They are very racist,” Perez said. “They never want to be in the same group as black people. And it’s very, very sad. And he did say Michelle Obama looked like a cast member of the ‘Planet of the Apes.’”

Parez continued;

“I am the Latin person here on this table and I would like to tell you that it was racist, period. And the thing is this is a problem in the Latin community that we do not talk about. That we do not address. And it is real and it was revealed by this man’s statement. And you do not disrespect the first lady of our country.”

Man Jailed For Having “Sex” With Pit Bull

Excuse me while I gross you out with this one.

A man in Michigan convicted of having sex with his pet pit bull faces a 15-year jail sentence for the crime. 37-year-old Kurtis Peterson, who was convicted of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct in 1996, was caught having sex with the dog on two separate occasions. The same (unfortunate) person caught Peterson each time.

In April 2010, Joyce Yeaw, who was attempting to return keys she’d borrowed from Peterson’s roommate, caught a naked Peterson having sex with his dog on his bed. She called police but, somehow, Peterson was able to convince her or the responding officer that he was “just hugging his dog,” and no arrest was made. Then, two months later Yeaw again walked in on Peterson mid-dog sex, this time on his living room floor. She called the police again and Peterson was arrested.

“He was having sex with the dog, it was disgusting,” Yeaw said of the encounter.

In his courtroom testimony, Peterson admitted to being “sexually aroused from accidental contact with the animal’s rear,” but claims that occurred as he was “just playing with the dog.”

He was sentenced on Monday to one to 15 years in prison. Judge Timothy Hicks went above state sentencing guidelines in his ruling, say Peterson posed a high risk of reoffending. “I fear for what he might do in the community,” the judge said.

CNN’s Black Camera Woman Called “Animal” At Republican’s Convention

On Thursday, Patricia Carroll, the CNN camerawoman who had peanuts thrown at her and was called an “animal” at the Republican National Convention, commented on the incident for the first time. She wasn’t surprised by what happened.

“I hate that it happened, but I’m not surprised at all,” Carroll, 34, told Journal-isms. She later added, “This is Florida, and I’m from the Deep South…You come to places like this, you can count the black people on your hand. They see us doing things they don’t think I should do.”

Carroll was the camera operator who was mocked by two RNC attendees who threw nuts at her while saying, “This is how we feed the animals.” RNC security ejected them from the convention, with representatives condemning the incident. CNN later confirmed the occurrence in their own statement.

Of the convention, she noted there “are not that many black women there.” But, Carroll said, she doesn’t want the incident to be used for anyone’s political advantage — because “racism is a global issue.” It “could happen to me at the Democratic convention or standing on the street corner,” she said.
