Univision's Rodner Figueroa Fired for Making a Racist Michelle Obama on Air Comment
Wow! This is just really disgusting!!! It seems like every week there is a new nasty racist comment or action. This week it's at Univision. Host Rodner Figueroa and co-hosts were talking about this guy who uses make up to make himself look like celebrities including Michelle Obama. When Rodner pipes up and says; "Well, watch out, you know that Michelle Obama looks like she's from the cast of 'Planet of the Apes,' the movie," Figueroa, 42, said with a giggle. When hostess Lili Estefan countered with "What are you saying?" and host Raul de Molina said Obama was very attractive, Figueroa defended his remark, saying "but it is true. Univision took swift and decisive action and fired Figueroa immediately. In a statement, Univision called Figueroa's comments "completely reprehensible" and said they "in no way reflect the values or opinions of Univision." Figueroa had been at Univision since 2000. I hope NO ONE else hires him, clearly he is a racist, calling Mrs. Obama a monkey and that is clearly racist vernacular. So fuck him and the horse he rode in on. I just want to say Thank You to Univision, just the University of Oklahoma, Zero policy on racist behavior is the BEST policy. If everyone , took quick and decisive action like these 2 great institutions, we might be able to drive it completely underground where it belongs.
