WASHINGTON -- For her own Women's History Month assignment, first lady Michelle Obama visited Anacostia High School, on the poor side of town, where on Thursday she surprised a group of students. One of her goals is to demystify the White House and make it more accessible to the people who live here.
Mrs. Obama told the youngsters she felt isolated from an institution in her own community when she was growing up and that she suspected they may view the White House and the Capitol the way she saw the University of Chicago as a young girl -- a place for other people. She shared her story of how she was taunted for talking "like a white girl."

I can’t decide which is worse... talking like a white lady or using proper english? Is she using her blackness to try to relate to the young black children? Or is she using the “white girl analogy” as a reason to not encourage proper english... or to tell them it’s okay to use proper english. I think it’s the latter....but I wonder if the kids understood?
I write better than I speak...always have. (ok, well, FR doesn’t count..I’M talking about essays and term papers)

Sign of complete immaturity when you never get over chickenshit things that happened in your adolescence... much like those folks who never get over not making the cheerleading squad or the football team... pathetic!!!

The crucial part of the article:
"You pick your own clothes out?"
"I do," said Mrs. Obama, in a jacket and pants.Ping!
