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!

    Give "Calcareous" a red star...please?

    Hey there,

    I just read:

    "...Apparently the fetish continues. Just because you've decided it is now a symbol of something positive, doesn't mean you aren't still reducing Michelle to a piece of meat and a caricature of her race...."

    GIVE THAT LETTER WRITER A GOLD-STAR...or at least ask Kaplan to write a response to that.....

    thanks in advance,

    David Terry
