Truth And Booty

…as Michelle strode onto more stages and people started focusing on her clothes and presence instead of her patriotism, it dawned on me — good God, she has a butt! “Obama’s baby (mama) got back,” wrote one feminist blogger. “OMG, her butt is humongous!” went a typical comment on one African-American online forum, and while it isn’t humongous, per se, it is a solid, round, black, class-A boo-tay.

    No, Lee, this is not an awesome article. This woman graduated from Harvard Law, she is brilliant, and on top of that, she is the next First Lady of the United States of America, and people seem to be focusing on her ass rather than the thrashed economy and extraordinary renditions.And, yes, people out there are always going to focus on superficial crap like this. But people like you and I and most of the readers here who want to focus on the issues don’t have to encourage it.

    Theo — You should read it again.

    I just want to mention that the reason I think it’s a great article is that it deals with issues that aren’t superficial at all, like the pervasive and subconscious effects of white cultural supremacy. Just the quote doesn’t convey that which is why I wanted to try and encourage people to read the whole thing.This isn’t just “I love Sarah Palin cuz she’s purty!” – it’s an ass with meaning.

    theo – as the proud owner of a round black backside, I’ll just state for the record, the article is brilliant. It says outloud something many African American women like myself are only thinking… “Wow. Look at that. A woman who can be beautiful, professional, intelligent, and the First Lady of the United States of America – with all her typical blackness (except her hair. A greeing with Erin on that one as well.). What a day for America, and for black Americans – especially sisters!”That’s from the heart.QT

    Theo:I actually never really noticed Michelle Obama’s posterior. I’ve been too fascinated with her charm, grace, and intelligence.Yeah, I’m kinda old, I know.

    you’re right, I did go back and re-read it, and it’s a lot better than it initially seemed to me.

    Awesome article. And you should cheer, QT. We finally have a First Lady who is not some automated robo-tron (Elvis has a good name for this), but a Woman. Right on. And damn, I wish someone would wax poetic about my boo-tay…but I’m a total white girl with a white girl ass.

    Speaking of which – where the heck is ELVIS!On the one day when I get to show out to advantage (with all the talk about black butts and all) and we’re having a grope-fest in the primetime thread, our master of explicit hijinx is totally missing. Color me very disappointed.QT

    By the way, our President-elect has what we used to call an “AGA (anti-gravity ass)” AND he totally graduated from Harvard.Just thought I’d throw that out there…
