From the elegant entryway, to the spectacular views, to the private beach, we’re exploring the special touches in the forever first family's gorgeous estate.
When your previous homes are the White House and Camp David, there’s a lot of pressure on your next address. For their post-presidential vacation getaway, Barack and Michelle Obama chose a private, yet beautiful estate that would offer them all the luxury and security they’ve become accustomed to.
According to Ebony, beginning with the Shearer Inn in 1912, the Oak Bluffs area has a long history of catering to Black vacationers. Over the years, it became one of the few vacation spots where Black visitors felt they could just exist without needing to prove themselves. We all know we can’t ever truly get away from the racism, but the island has provided a somewhat safe space for Black folks looking to relax and enjoy themselves with some simple summer fun.
According to Home & Gardens, the former first couple purchased the waterfront estate for $11.75 million in 2020. Per Bijan C. Bayne in Martha’s Vineyard Magazine, the island has been a longtime vacation spot for Black people, as the atmosphere isn’t racially aggressive and offers a reprieve from the constant slights and stereotypes we routinely face. Considering the spotlight the family lived under while in the White House, it makes sense that the Obamas would want to find a comfortable, safe space for their post-presidential lives.

I’ll give them credit and say their interior decorator is the B-S crazy. Looks like a cheap hotel interior. Furnishings by Ikea.
It appears that barak was/is being paid by our enemies who want to see our country fall. But China Joe is getting credited with all these payments. Maybe barak is getting paid much more than Joe, but the party is using Joe as a patsy to distract from obama’s grifting.
