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.

    If ability to lead has nothing to do with blood lineage, then why have 3 out of 3 north Korean leaders been of the same blood lineage? This is kind of a thing that we have to critical of if we want to claim "critical support", if we can't criticize Supreme Leadership being handed down from father to son, what do we criticize? Uncritical support is almost never cool.
