WASHINGTON (TND) — Former First Lady Michelle Obama has reportedly revealed that she decided to straighten her hair during her husband's presidency because Americans were still "just getting adjusted" to the idea of having a Black family in the White House.
Speaking with former TV show host Ellen DeGeneres at Washington D.C.'s Warner Theatre on Tuesday, Michelle Obama claimed she believed people in the United States "weren't ready" for her natural hair, according to The Washington Post.
Michelle recalled considering styling her hair into braids, and then thought "nope, they’re not ready for it," the former first lady said during her appearance at the theater.
Apparently, the former first lady worried that her natural hair would become a topic of controversy, politicized into a distraction.

No issue with the hair. Just the nasty, hate-filled, racist, anti-American agenda.

I liked Buckwheat, and Eddie Murphy as Buckwheat.
Michelle Obama is a total bitch.

So she decided to go the cultural appropriation route instead? It didn’t fool anyone...

Lighten up Michelle. Americans don’t care if you want to look like a hooker or a skank. Most of us believe it’s none of our business.

Agreed. I like all the Little Rascals/Our Gang. Eddie Murphy is from time when they still had funny comedians. His "Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood" is priceless.

So, she admits to caving to the oppressive culture?
Is this the same motivation she applied for taking a high salary, no-show job, in the years prior?
Is it acceptable to attribute her decisions to vanity and ambition?

“Hair”…code for “left-leaning, anti-American, arrogant, racist attitude”

Sure Michelle, because we’ve never seen nappy-headed black women before. And we’ve never seen black women wearing white womens’ wigs.
