Nothing, according to an
editor at
Associated Press. Don't be hatin' on Michelle just because she is a strong woman that also happens to be an African-American:
WASHINGTON - What is wrong with Michelle Obama?
Not a thing.
Too often, the media depict black women like me as gyrating hoochie mamas, someone's baby mama or dirty crack addicts.
Michelle Obama strikes a pose not seen enough: an accomplished, confident, proud black woman. (And get a load of those arms!)
That seems to scare some people.
OK, she slipped by suggesting she'd never really been proud of her country until her husband's candidacy took off. But the reaction went way over the top. Republicans tried to smack her down. Her husband's campaign aides wanted to perform the equivalent of a personality transplant.
It is said that people are most afraid of what they are least familiar with. And most people don't really know Michelle Obama. Like most politicians — and politicians' spouses — we know only what we read about her or see on TV.
But to be frightened by her, by the idea of her as first lady? That's just downright silly.
