my son said "mom, why is Chewbacca shaking her head, does she have a hairball?' At first I didn't iknow who he was talking about. He's so bad, college is teaching him strange things...I thought this was going to be a cute "little kids say the darnedest racist things". Then... then it wasn't.

I dunno, equating the first black First Lady to a semi-intelligent ape-like animal with wild hair who only grunts and groans must have a non-racial explanation. Despite the fact that she's a Harvard educated lawyer.

Is making fun of the first black First Lady automatically racist? Maybe I'm just naive but I've never heard of Chewbacca being used as a racial slur against blacks.

Isn't the whole point of making fun of someone you dislike to be a little mean about it? I don't think it would have the same effect to say "Why is that well educated lady shaking her head?"

...ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!

Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.

More importantly, what else could the connection be? That Michelle Obama is covered in hair? That she is reasonably adept at repairing starships? That she uses a weapon most humans cannot reload? That she is frequently nude?

The Phrenological Legacy

Phrenological CraniometerOne of the many offshoots of phrenology was craniology, which advocated the use of precise quantitative measurements of cranial features in order to classify people according to race, criminal temperament, intelligence, etc. Craniology became influential during the Victorian era, and was used by the British to justify its racism, colonization and dominance of "inferior people", such as the Irish and the black tribes of Africa. Racial types were classified as to its prognathism (a relative anterior advancement of the jaw in relation to the mandible) or orthognathism. "Inferior" races were said to be prognathic, in similarity to apes and monkeys, so that they were considered to be more kin to these animals than the main European people (such as the Anglo-Saxon, of course...). Jonh Beddoe, the founder and president of the British Anthropological Institute, in his book "The Races of Man" (1862), developed an "Index of Nigressence", based on which he was able to state that the Irish had crania similar to those of the Cro-Magnon pre-historic men and thus were a kind of "Africanoid" white race !

Also, a website which purposefully goes out of its way to see who celebs look like in their worst photos is different from blog articles about "Why does Michelle Obama look like Chewbacca?"

She's not an ugly woman...certainly no uglier than Laura Bush - so why weren't there Chewbacca references to Laura Bush?

Do you consider any of the women I posted pics of to be ugly?

No one brought up any right wing blogs.. except you... in a very weak ass attempt to make it sound like it must be racism to compare Michelle Obama to Chewbacca.

Under your "rules", no one could ever make fun of a black person because if they do, it's racism.

I was confused why you would engage in such a transparently silly defense of two kids you'd never met, but then I realized you were engaging in a transparently silly disagreement with Eschaton and it made more sense.

You being confused is clearly somewhere you are very accustomed to being... so it's not a surprise to anyone here.

So... I must know these kids to say that perhaps their comments were not racist.. but you don't have to know them to determine that they are racists.

I'm not sure how this could be called racist... or how one could compare chewy to a monkey. saying chewy is a semi-intelligent creature that grunts and groans is pretty damn racist. wookie's are an intelligent race and those grunts and groans are a language. be alot like saying all those people in africa are semi-intelligent because they can't speak correctly.

when I read it I chuckled and thought you know she does look like chewy, and atleast for me it has nothing to do with her being black. I wouldn't say she's pretty but she's not ugly. she is kinda mannish. tall muscular and I don;t know if she has changed her hair cause I ain;t seen her in a while but for a bit she did have hair that puffed out down to her shoulders and looked alot like chewy's.

no idea how to post pictures or I'd do one of them side by sides.
