North Korea Racist Comment: Kim Jong-un Government Calls Obama ‘Monkey’ After Internet Blackout

Following a few weeks full of occurrences due to the whole issue with the Asian country and Sony Pictures over the release of the Seth Rogen and James Franco film "The Interview," the latest North Korea racist comment seems to just put the icing on the cake, as the government has slurred president Barack Obama.

The Asian country's government is definitely not widely known for its strong diplomacy, but the news about the North Korea racist comment have taken the entire thing to the next level, as representatives of the nation led by Kim Jong-un flat out made a remark referring to the United States president as a "monkey."

For the last few weeks, the North Korean government has been the subject of controversy. As the film "The Interview" (a comedy about an assassination plot against Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un) was about to be released in the United States, the studio in charge of it was seriously hacked and many e-mails of Sony Pictures employees and executives were made public, getting a lot of people in trouble.

While the North Korean government refused to take responsibility for the hack, the FBI found out that it had come from them.

Now, according to The Washington Post, the latest news sees North Korea's racist comments come into light after a well-publicized Internet blackout in the country, which many have thought was retaliation from the United States government for the Sony Pictures leak.

"Obama always goes reckless in words and deeds like a monkey in a tropical forest," was the North Korea racist comment, according to the Associated Press: it was spoken by a spokesman from the Policy Department, to the state-controlled Korean Central News Agency.

According to PJ Media, this isn't the first North Korea racist comment in recent memory towards president Barack Obama, having called him a "wicked black monkey" and a "crossbreed" in the past few months.
