CONTROVERSY OVER SPANISH MAGAZINE COVER DEPICTING MICHELLE OBAMA AS A SLAVE...!!!

Spain’s Magazine Fuera de Serie photo-shopped US first lady Michelle Obama’s face onto  a portrait of a 19th century slave. This cover has caused a lot of controversy in trying to determine whether its artistic or offensive. Either way I find this picture to be very offensive and disrespectful to a leading lady in today’s society. The original painting depicts a female French slave dressed in a head dress with one breast exposed. I don’t see the similarities or understand the comparison to Michelle Obama. I mean really, what were these people thinking?? I’d like to know how Michelle Obama will address this!

 What do you think of this portrait? Artistic or Offensive?
