Michelle Obama Recalls Racist Double Standard If Daughters Were "Messy" While She Was First Lady: "It Wouldn't Have Been Laughed Off"
Essence ^ | 3/7/2023 | Malaika Jabali

“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.”

It’s a terrible burden for the Grifter to have the authorities repeated run people off their 50 exclusive acres of Beach in Martha’s Vineyard, or have the riffraff arrested for being on their private Hawaii Beach.

Life is unfair, she says as the servants serve her Lobster.

Are you kidding me!! Considering the heavy burdens many American families carry for their children and life in general - is it any wonder that people have zero empathy for the pathetic complaints of privileged elites like Michelle.

Michelle, there are a great number of Americans who wish they had your problems and your privilege. Give your like friends at Marth's Vineyard our regards!!

What a crock of pure S.

But I think she’s a perfect representation of the paranoia and victimhood of today’s black America.

They were the President’s kids. To my knowledge, criticism of them was off limits.

But she assumes the scrutiny they might receive would be racial.

Gee if only she were a white first lady it would be a cakewalk and no pressure at all. /s

What a privileged jerk.

She is at the starting gate with the other horses for the race to the presidency. Unfortunately for us.

Notice her puff piece books that allow her to be on every TV show she wants. All part of the campaign.

The truism that she is “too lazy” to run for or serve as President is being overcome by her egotism. She considers herself to be a celebrity star who may decide to rule over the stupid peasants someday.

And at least 20 books about her or her essential wisdom and best quotations and pictures of her life.

Barf.

Pretty laughable, considering Mooch has no concerns about them always looking slutty, nowadays.

Satire.

Interviewer: Since that one day at age 44 in 2008 when for the first time you were proud of your country, has the heavy weight of experiencing and watching the despicable actions of the ingrained systemic white supremacist racism of the entire American public brought down your feeling of pride again?

She is still on her ‘po me’ kick.

It does get her the media attention she craves.

RE: the two “daughters” always looked pretty rough, just like big Mike.

Each one can toss their automatic knife* back and forth from hand to hand without taking their eyes off the opponent in a face off in the street. Michelle: “I didn’t raise my kids to be no dummies.”

*Old term was switchblade. Or switch knife, automatic knife, pushbutton knife, ejector knife, flick knife, flick blade, or spring knife.

This woman is one of the richest, most entitled women in the world. She gets magazine interviews at the drop of a hat. She could get an invitation to any exclusive event she wants. Yet all she does is bitch and whine about racism. Must be a good gig.

It’s the White Fricking House. Its occupants should be held to high standards of order and decorum.

Delusional. The Obama daughters were treated as off limits. Bush daughters were called party girl alcoholics. Trumps children were called autistic and an incestuous link was implied with his daughter.

The media, as always, lie. They lie always and often, and then they gaslight the opposite down the road and rewrite history.
