“How much of yourself had to be quieted while you were in the White House?” Hoda Kotb asked Michelle Obama on a book tour stop in Philadelphia. “So much of it,” the former first lady answers.
“It was no accident that our children had to show up right in the world. They carried a burden of making sure they weren’t messy,” Mrs. Obama shares in an exclusive audio clip shared with ESSENCE of her new Audible podcast, which launched Tuesday.
“It wouldn’t have been laughed off,” she continues. “It wouldn’t have been [dismissed as] just ‘oh it’s youthful’ whatever. It would have been some bigger statement about the soul of Black folks…That weight is exhausting.”

I seem to remember the two “daughters” always looked pretty rough, just like big Mike.

Don’t worry. If they were messy, NY Times and WaPo would have never reported it

She worried about the anxieties in her own head. In reality her kids would have been reported on were just as other presidents’ kids were and will be reported on, messy or not. They’re kids. We do not expect children to be figurines and always perfectly presentable, even presidents’ children. They are from the people, at least in theory, not aristocrats.

BS. All Michelle has to do is look at press coverage on the daughters of her cuddle-buddy, GW Bush, to see that this is not a racial thing. Every teenage and adult child of a POTUS is subjected to scrutiny, unless their name is Hunter.

The vapidness of the supposedly “smart” Dorkbama family is truly amazing. Thankfully, the blacks I know are actually quite brilliant, and all have degrees in subjects that the Dorkbamas would have failed miserably. (Unless woke math really takes hold.) Given that, should the Wookie run, the Wookie will probably win. Because.

The weight of the entire KKK loving, Nazi marching, institutionalized racism perpetuating world on her poor little shoulders. It is SOOO hard to be black.
