Racism and the First Lady

Michelle, welcome to the frank discussion about race that your husband predicted.

You're now going to be sharing ground zero with him for the next four years where every decision you make will be scrutinized. And you didn't even get a pass on your very first day!

Yes, it turns out the racists are already snipping at you. The racist organization known as The Black Artists Association is tossing mud because you choose the apparel you thought was best, apparently with no regard for the skin color of the designer of the apparel. CONGRATULATIONS AND APPLAUSE FOR THE FIRST LADY!

But for the openly racist Amnau Eele I have nothing but disdain and scorn. Such race mindedness is exactly the sort of thing that holds minorities out of the mainstream. Amnua, I can only hope this was a lapse in judgement and that otherwise you are willing to judge an artist by the content of his work and not his skin, but considering the group you founded, I can only expect that you are a dedicated racist. Your kind is nothing more than the cerebral soul mates of the KKK.

The thinking you are exhibiting will never lead you to the land of equality you seek for you're not allowing others to think for themselves. You would oppress the first lady with your racist ways. I'm glad Michelle Obama has a much broader mind than you. In this instance she set a very fine example for her daughters and the world.

If this is the sort of thinking we can expect from the Black Artists Association then it may be a very long four years indeed for you as it seems clear that Michelle Obama has the potential to rise above your kind and show the world in no uncertain terms that she is an American first, woman second and black person third and in so doing will elevate the all of America and, thankfully, show your last century thinking to be exactly what it is, out of time.
