A nonprofit group’s director and a mayor in a small town in West Virginia have been swept up in a firestorm surrounding comments about Michelle Obama that have been perceived as blatantly racist.
After Donald Trump’s election as president, Pamela Ramsey Taylor, who was director of Clay County Development Corp. in Clay, a tiny town outside Charleston, reportedly posted about the move from Michelle Obama to Melania Trump on Facebook, saying: “It will be so refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified First Lady back in the White House. I’m tired of seeing a Ape in heels,” according to NBC affiliate WSAZ.
The news station reported that the town’s mayor, Beverly Whaling, then replied, “Just made my day Pam.”
The comments were later deleted, but images of the post have been shared widely on social media. As of Monday afternoon, an online petition calling for the women’s terminations had garnered more than 14,000 signatures.
Both of their Facebook pages have been removed, according to the Charleston Gazette-Mail.
Two-tenths of 1 percent of Clay County’s residents are African American, according to census data. More than three-quarters of the presidential votes cast in the county went to Trump.
The two women have apologized for their remarks.
“My comment was not intended to be racist at all,” Whaling said in a statement to The Washington Post. “I was referring to my day being made for change in the White House! I am truly sorry for any hard feeling this may have caused! Those who know me know that I’m not of any way racist!
“Again, I would like to apologize for this getting out of hand!”
Taylor could not be reached for comment, but WSAZ reported that she had issued an apology on Facebook.
However, Taylor told the news station that the public response had become a “hate crime against me,” explaining that she and her children had received death threats. She said she is planning to file a lawsuit against people who have slandered or libeled her, according to the news station.
A representative of Clay County Development Corp., a nonprofit funded with state and federal money, said the board “removed” Taylor from her position as director and appointed Leslie McGlothlin to take her place. McGlothlin did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Clay Town Councilman Jason Hubbard told the Charleston Gazette-Mail that the town will address the incident at a council meeting Tuesday night.

I was gonna post this story in the social media thread.
Here are her comments.

The mayor, Beverly Whaling, needs to go.

I always saw Michelle as gorgeous.

It is beyond bad comedy that how Taylor would criticize anyone on looks.

Check out the mug on Mayor Beverly Whaling.

"My comment was not intended to be racist" You dumb bitch, what the fuck was it suppose to mean? I have a convo with one of my elderly white neighbors. They commented on Michelle's looks, I said, espouse more please, what's wrong with her looks?
They said, she's just not pretty to us. Kewl, she doesn't have to be pretty to them. However, I said what about class and style? They said, well she's not very classy, I said why?
Wife:She shows her arms to much... Hubby: Dresses to open..
I asked my hubby to pull up Trump's wife pics, I showed it to them. I said, what do you think about her?
The wife gasped, the hubby frown, and kept looking at the pic. He said, I hope that sinful woman doesn't have any kids!!
I said, not only does she have kids, she's your first lady.
Now, these are somewhat elderly whites, late 60's, so outside of Fox New's and us, they don't do alot of surfing the net. The hubby actually came by and apologized for his words, I told him, I don't need an apology, he is the one, who should be soul searching.
Opines like these are going to become more and more rampart. They don't bother me, for we are proactive rather than reactive.
My sister had an confederate flag in her neighborhood, she put up a sign saying, we got camera's and gun's too!!

Blacks have always 'prayed and hoped' for things to get better. This was not an ordinary election, this was a message election.
One that says, this is still our country!!

I try to be the one that "hopes for the best, while preparing for the worst."
I do agree that this was indeed a message election, or a quiet riot. Folks did this in California after the first OJ verdict.
