WashPost Indicts Football Coach, Rush Limbaugh for Racist Insults of Mrs. Obama, Black Womanhood
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 02/05/2013 5:02:49 AM PST by chessplayer

The Washington Post is suggesting Tuesday that it's somehow national news that a high-school football coach in northern Alabama was caught on tape mocking Michelle Obama for having a "fat butt."

Post reporter Krissah Thompson used this mini-story -- football coach secretly recorded by students who apparently want him fired, and he's already been suspended -- to remind people that Rush Limbaugh and Rep. James Sensenbrenner have also mocked the First Lady's rear end, and this means our "country of white people" are "not showing adequate respect for and devaluing the bodies of black women." Unsurprisingly, then the Post connects this to "historical antecedents" in slave times:

Her presence as first lady challenges the historic view of a black woman’s place and notions of beauty, says Michaela Angela Davis, a fashion expert who has campaigned for more positive images of black women in the media. “Michelle is black from a distance. She’s a REAL black girl,” Davis says. “A lot of people have tried to make diversity into this weird beige thing. Her presence is just really powerful to interject into the global consciousness.”

The first lady’s critics “are reacting to the culture in which they’ve grown up or they are using it as a code to racialize Michelle Obama and remind people that she’s black,” says Andra Gillespie, an associate professor of political science at Emory University. “It is unreasonable to expect a nearly 50-year-old woman to have the body of a 25-year-old.

let me say this about that (working around thousands of such women for 4 decades) it's strictly genetic ~ doesn't matter what they eat they get it. Goes with the territory and you accept it or you don't. Michelle's problem is she does not accept what she is and is willing to force the whole world to a starvation diet in hopes she can get rid of it.

now, regarding Katherine Harris, the Florida Secretary of State back in 2000 was subjected to intense and withering Democrat party criticism for her bottom and her bust size.

We remember it all ~ much of it here on the pages of the Warshington Post ~ and probably many of Michelle's defenders.

2nd Inaugural Luncheon - January 2013
3000 CALORIES and don’t tell me Michelle didn’t cram every single calorie into her face!!!

“”Most freedom-loving Americans are tired of the relentless attack on our choice in food. Mayors across the nation are restricting the availability of certain items deemed unhealthy, and Michelle Obama has taken a permanent position atop a healthy living soapbox.

For all their criticism of fatty foods and the mindless rubes who consume them, Barack Obama’s second inaugural luncheon was a display of dietary excess.

The surf and turf meal began with lobster and creamy chowder sauce, included grilled bison with plenty of gut-busting sides, and ended with apple pie a la mode.

Not including alcoholic beverages, the meal tips the scale at more than 3,000 calories – more than the average individual should eat in a day and a half!

The artery-clogging feast included nearly 150 grams of fat, of which about half was saturated, and almost 10,000 milligrams of sodium.

This is a perfect example of the type of irresponsible eating from which the nannies on the left say they want to protect us.””

I knew a black woman years ago who was almost an exact double of Michelle. Same height same body shape almost identical facial features. She was a huge powerful woman with long arms and legs and high cheekbones. Michelle is not fat she is just big. I always felt like it was a tribal thing.


Any sensible primitive man, or one who had to eke out a meager living on a farm, or as a hunter gatherer would dream of having a strong, robust, and healthy woman like MO. Great for working, and for bearing children.

But when it’s clear that your wife can easily kick your ass, it’s not quite so desirable.

Oh yeah, she has an oversized ass, a tribute to her ancestral african origins of which one would think she would be proud.

She needs to keep her butt-ugly snout out of our dinner plates. Maybe spend the next four years somewhere in africa, learning about african diets, learn how to be a real african. If she survived it fine but just get herr ugly self out of our lives — put a clamp on your oversize pie-hole you wide load.

(was I too harsh???...Nah, I think not)

FUBO & FAD

“Michelle is black from a distance. She’s a REAL black girl,” Davis says.

If Michelle is a REAL black girl, then why does she have straight hair?

MO devalued her own body by shoveling too much food into her mouth. Which is worse? Committing the act or commenting on it?

Really. It's not because she's black, it's because we don't like her and she really DOES have a big ass.

Lotta people got big butts. If we like them, we give them a pass, if we don't like them we make fun of them. And Michelle's fat ass is fair game.

Democrats and other neo-communists do that kind of thing (and worse) all the time to black conservatives, so you should understand.

But we DO love it when you go and get offended, and appreciate your inspiration for a new nickname for the FLOTUS, now to be known as "the First Hottentot"...

BTW, my comments are addressed to the article's author, not you, chessplayer.

Queen Lardbutt Visits The Food Channel

Food Channel's Paula Dean:
"Michelle Obama loves fried food and ate more than any other guest I've had on my show"

"I did a show with Michelle [Obama] and I just loved being with her."

"She probably ate more than any other guest I've ever had on the show."

"She kept eating even during commercials."

Glork, glork, glork, glork, glork, glork, glork.....

Yes, and it’s all in some kind of “code” that only the liberals apparently understand.

To prove that I am non-racist, non-sexist and bipartisan I promise to make fun of Hillary's cankles and the Governor-Zeppelin of New Jersey too.

I agree on both counts...

On another subject (HIllary), he once said "Oh my Lord," or words to that effect, when vido of her appeared on TV recently - he hair was swept back and she reminded me of a Bond villain or something...
