1. There's this KCNA article which has awful homophobic comments

  2. This KCNA article which compares Obama to a "black monkey"

  • This article** does analysis which states that the monkey comparison was merely referring to being a "trickster" which ignores:
  1. This KCNA article which is the worst of them all. The racist comparisons are unmistakable in my opinion.

**The aforementioned analysis article has what I find to be pretty unconvincing excuses for the homophobic comments, the quote, "a disgusting old lecher" is not properly addressed.

I'm willing to hear any possible explanations. I don't know what's going on.

    The problem is the DPRK doesn't have the history like US. Capture African people and enslave them, as others pointed out, they actually aid Africans overthrowing apartheid and white supremacists. The problem in this occasion I could said stemmed ignorant and hatred on Obama since he's american president. East Asian country in general, especially in rural area doesn't interact much with people of different skin color since they're homogeneous country. I remembered China also had this problem and still have it in current time, especially in their society, which is why they introduce many more law to prevent anti discrimination.
