Actually, I have heard the story and I respect your perspective.
However, when do we ever move pass talking about black women's bodies and start focusing on their minds and accomplishments?
To me - the fact that this author thinks its cute or witty to discuss Mrs. Obama's backside while (as you put it) attempting to make some profound social/political statement is weak.
Most of us in the free world are aware that blacks were enslaved, abused and denied basic human rights.
However, today it appears that the biggest exploiters of black women's backsides are black male Hip Hop artist! There is deep irony in this fact. As long as blacks keep the conversation at this level the longer the negative stereotypes will persist.
