Michelle Obama Under Fire


I cannot tell you how angry this makes me.

And you know what line really set me off? Amnau Eele’s assertion, “This was our moment.”

THIS WHOLE ELECTION WAS YOUR MOMENT. This whole election was AMERICA’S moment. For every race and every creed.

And I suppose if she chose black designers she would then be criticized for not being diverse?

Stop putting this poor woman under fire for her clothes. Why does no one mention the fact that she’s an Ivy League graduate? Her actual attributes - her intelligence, her poise, her capabilities - are all glazed over because of a designer choice.

I’m so aggravated right now that I can’t even type an intelligible sentence.

This isn’t the Oscars. It’s the fucking inauguration. The United States just nominated their first African American president and you’re asking why the designer of the first lady’s duds wasn’t black.

Someone please give these people something sturdy so they can get a grip.
