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!

@ Philly Thanks for the convergence.....

I found Joan's reasoning and excuses as offensive as the commentary by Erin....Yet as a Black man I do understand the various impacts and influences white racism has on Black folks in this culture it really has harmed and destroyed many people...

Erin's actions are not new but for me what is more significant is how white liberals will response to a reality of Black personhood they have never witnessed or observed on a scale of this nature..A liberated Black man with a set of paradigms unk to the so-called progressives is really life altering and will be a series of events that will truly alter american culture....

This is a threshold moment and it is truly awesome on every plane of reality
