First lady got back

I'm a black woman who never thought I'd see a powerful, beautiful female with a body like mine in the White House. Then I saw Michelle Obama -- and her booty!

    Let's hear it for the 1850s!!!

    OMG! This attitude is so sexist and racist and immature that I couldn't even finish the article. But I've read enough to know this writer has singlehandedly returned women and black women especially to the 1950s, if not the 1850s. I only hope most African-American women are more sophisticated and think more of themselves than Ms Kaplan appears to think of herself, let alone the next First Lady. This article belongs in "Hustler."
