Michelle Obama says America 'wasn't ready' for her natural hair

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.

RE: BFD.

Sorry, but everything———everything-——is a major deal to Michelle. Happens to narcissists all the time.

And her chip on her shoulder wasn’t removed on the one day in 2008 she said “for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country....”

Wasn’t this resolved back in 1967?

Hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it, my hair

I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy, shining
Gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka dotted, twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled and sphagettied...

No no no!
Those are used to describe Meghan Markle!
The “black when convenient” woman who married Prince Dum Dum.

She always referred to herself as Caucasian on her resumes?
How come she never dated or married a black man?

Go work on HER attitude, Michelle!

LOL - typical liberal, assigning so much importance to herself and thinking we’re all fascinated with their every move.

Hey Michelle, the vast majority of us didn’t and still don’t give a rat’s patootie about your hair. Wear it natural, braid it, straighten it, wear a wig; we really don’t care.

(Yes, we did laugh at some of your getups, but that’s because they were beyond outlandish. I daresay we’d have laughed at our friends had they dressed that way too.)

It was your husband’s ruinous and dictatorial policies we were focusing on.

Sorry to disappoint you, Michelle.. sweetie…

But NOBODY CARES about your hair.

Nobody EVER cared.

Get over your self-important self.

Michelle, my hell, is a total fraud and dependent on MSM not to ask hard questions. Or dig up old photos of Michelle with kinky hair.

She is so abused. /sarc

Styling her hair into braids isn’t “natural” either.

Is she talking about hairstyles, or growing it out into the natural “Afro” type hair? What is she talking about?

Hate to tell ya, Big Mike but it’s not your hair, it’s your penis that a lot of people arent ready for.

She has nasty nappy hair. Her “decision” (what a pretentious word for simple vanity) to straighten it was simply to look better. It had nothing to do with “America” - America is a nation and an ideology. It cares not one whit for someone’s hair or vanity. Only individuals can have such opinions.

The real explanation is her vanity and simple realization that her hair looks awful.

I think somebody isn’t looking forward to another winter on Martha’s Vineyard. She probably can’t get anyone to do her hair the way she likes.

Doesn’t look like a normal afro it look more like a Brillo pad texture.
Not joking just saying

It wasn’t America, Moo. People were quite used to black people wearing their hair natural.

Tired of this silly woaman and her victimhood bullsheet.

Somehow we weren't ready for Big Mike's natural hair, but we were ready for this. Really?
