A half a world away from the spectacle of Washington, Melania Trump still managed to create one of her own during a Kenyan safari on Friday, riding out into the grassland wearing a crisp white pith helmet a common symbol of European colonial rule.

Pith on them.
All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Europeans ever done for us?
____________
Literature, architecture, electrical engineering, Materials sciences, printing, television, radio, mass production, vaccines, the idea of a Republic, The fusion of Greek science & Jewish morality.
The list could go on a lot longer.
You forgot the wheel.
She probably bought it in one of their gift shops.
Youre right. Unless the wearer is a republican. Then it becomes rife with symbolism of hatred and oppression.
Just like all of those Oppression Hats people wear at Trump rallies. If they could just submit to wearing pussy hats . . . No, actually, the left would still be beating the crap out of them.
You mean they didn’t have a pot to pith in?
Oh. Wheel? Shut up!
The First Lady can wear any damn hat she pleases. What a bunch of cry babies.
Where’s that pic of Hillary doing her Hop Sing imitation while on vacay to China back in the 90’s?
Oh, for crying out loud! Media has completely ignored our beautiful, gracious fashion icon first lady, unless they can happen to turn something innocent, against her. Did they run out of pictures of wide load Michelle to fawn over today?
What else should she wear? A hat with a wide brim would be dismissed similarly. Anything approaching what the locals would wear would be derided as cultural appropriation!
And paper.
Prettiest racist I ever saw in that white hat. lol
She looks like Ursula Andress in the photo.
Better to be pithed off than pithed on, at least according to SgtMaj Clemons. (I may have misspelled some of that, my bad.)
What is she doing out in the mid-day sun at all?
Good guys always wear white hats.
LOL - how stupid does it get? Famine, wars, joblessness, ebola, whatever ... and they worry about hundred year old symbols? Can a group get more pathetic?
Since we dont have a PC President it seems to me to be entirely appropriate that we should have a non-PC First Lady.
How refreshing.
Yes!
