Despite the long gone fight against racism around the world, President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama are at the center of another recent racist attack. A Belgian newspaper De Morgen, which marked Obama's recent visit to the Netherlands to commemorate their 100th anniversary of the start of World War I; with a picture of the first couple with ape mouths.
The publication even went further by posting another photo of the US President with the following caption: "First black president of the USA starts selling weed.”
Reports say De Morgen Newspaper ran the photos alongside a story that was supposed to be a "satirical" take on Obama's strained relationship with Russia's president Vladimir Putin.
But it looks like it was the Russian Leader himself who allegedly forwarded the photos to the Belgian media house, "Vladimir Putin is the president of Russia. He sent us this attachment at our request, and chose to send pictures instead of text 'because he doesn't have a lot of time'," the article reportedly stated.
