I visit, I have witnessed multiple references to Barack and Michelle Obama described as monkeys - i.e., Michelle is an ugly ape woman, yadda yadda. This was especially true during the campaign. Anyone who would make such vile statements, is in my estimation, "ignorant." You might call them MA or PA or even sis or Bubba - I call them redneck ignoramouses.
