As a direct participant in that scandal (although all I did was retweet Rodnina’s photo of Obama and a banana), I want to say:
I respect the Obama family and apologize for not expressing my condemnation of the photo and of racism in any form clearly enough.
My Twitter account was hacked, and I should have expressed my condemnation more clearly. There was an episode of The Simpsons about Homer ending up on a space station. He spilled potato chips in zero gravity and started floating around the station, catching them with his mouth. It ended with him smashing, headfirst, into an aquarium containing a colony of ants. Kent Brockman, the local TV anchor who was broadcasting live from the space station, saw an ant’s head crawling over the camera lens and first screamed in horror, then quickly recovered and cheerfully declared, "Welcome our new overlords: the race of giant ants". It’s exactly the same with all these disgusting, two-faced United Russia politicians (members of the Kremlin’s ruling party). They want the population here kept in the condition of slaves so they can secure their prestigious deputy seats, VIP lounges, priority access and travel, and a place at the oil trough. They keep us off the ballot, and the elections that do exist they falsify. All of this is justified by saying that Russia must be protected from the "Pindosy" (a derogatory Russian slang term for Americans), homosexuals, nationalists, fascists, the TV channel Dozhd (TV Rain), liberals, people who deny wartime victories, Europe ("Gay-rope"), and so on. But the moment a United Russia politician is told that he won’t be allowed into that very same "Gay-rope" or "Pindosia," where his little children live and where his bank account is, he’ll be ready to put on a feather boa, wave a rainbow flag, enter a same-sex marriage, hand over besieged Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) to the Germans, dance in a church, and babble, "My account was hacked. I deeply regret my American masters. I support diversity and democracy. Look, I’m gay and I’m dancing". For the zombie box (state TV propaganda), Rodnina of United Russia—just like Zheleznyak, Burmatov, Vladimirs_Solovyov, and Dmitrys_Kiselyov—loves Putin. In reality, what she loves is the chance to return to America, to her real estate there, to hug her daughter who works for an American company, and her grandchildren, who are U.S. citizens. To stroll along safe streets and talk about "Rashka" (a derogatory slang term for Russia), populated by cattle and slaves.
