North Korean screed against Obama illustrates ?race-based? worldview - The Washington Post
Tank, was that really you?
In a recently published and lengthy racist screed, North Korea calls President Obama a clown, a dirty fellow and somebody who does not even have the basic appearances of a human being.
Propriety has never been a part of North Korean rhetoric, but rarely has Pyongyang so ferociously and personally attacked a U.S. leader, in this case pulling language right out of the American 1850s. The attack seems unabashed, except for one thing: Unlike most articles published by the Norths state-run news agency, this one wasnt translated into English.
He is a crossbreed with unclear blood, the North says.
And later: Obama still has the figure of monkey while the human race has evolved through millions of years.
It would be perfect for Obama to live with a group of monkeys in the worlds largest African natural zoo and lick the bread crumbs thrown by spectators.
The diatribe, published May 2 by the Korean Central News Agency, almost escaped foreign attention. But Josh Stanton, who blogs regularly about the Norths viciousness and rights violations, uncovered the Korean-only piece, as well as a separate, milder article that was translated into English and in which Obama was called a wicked black monkey.
