Turkish Reporter Responds to President Obama with Black Face

  Share  

A Turkish reporter on Turkish TV wore blackface yesterday while doing a report on United States President Barack Hussein Obama.

The Turkish Bureau of Tourism released a statement saying the broadcast was pretty funny.

We see racism, and a country that views our President as a joke.

We’re not laughing.

    Jenny, Robbie where did you grow up? Are you from a tralior home in the South. Cause your remarks are the most stupid things I’ve ever heard. I mean look what he’s done so far. He’s not a joke and I think it’s people like you and this reporter that make it so hard for him to help us. Obama has to work twice as hard as any president and you still don’t see his progress.

    OU HAVE TO MAKE SURE IT IS NOT INSULTING BECAUSE INSULTING SOMEBODY BECAUSE OF HIS COLOUR IS A BIG SIN in his religion .

    i will try to explain what reported said in his speech
    firstly he is protesting OBAMA and he wants obama to do some favor for TURKIYE then there is a famous proverb in turkish (isteyenin bir yuzu kara vermeyenin iki yuzu) means ‘The one who asks has one side of his face dark; the one who refuses to give has both sides’ Used to put the shame or burden on the side that can give but refuses to do so.

    Namely he tries to show this proverb and he said if you dont what i want , you are more black than me… thank youtotaly agree with you guys that reporter is very stupid .

    you can sure about there is no insulting in his speech , i am a turkish that s why i know .

    according to islam colours of people are not important we all are brothers… sorry about my english , I APOLOGIZE FOR HIS STUPID SHOWING FROM MY BLACK BROTHERS…..
