How Michelle Obama changed the dress code for White House butlers because she didn't want Malia and Sasha growing up thinking 'African American men serve them in tuxedos'

Michelle Obama told the White House butlers to change their uniform because she didn't want her daughters 'thinking that grown African American men serve them in tuxedos'.

The former First Lady said the tuxedos sent the wrong message to Malia and Sasha, who were 10 and seven years old when they moved into the White House.

Obama says that she and her husband knew that they were a 'provocation' for some parts of America who couldn't accept them.

She says: 'How were these people dealing with the fact that a black family was in what they perceived as their White House?'

I don't know, but you'd have to pay me (white) a lot to wait on the Obamas.

Also, I actually agree with her that toning down the servility and formality of the servants, whatever their color, is probably a good thing in raising the kids. They're already privileged, why be ridiculous about it.

But, if she reached that conclusion on a racial basis, I think less of it.

I’ve stated on numerous times that Mooch hates whitey with every fiber of her being and certainly one of the most racist individuals ever to live in the White House.

Her whole world view revolves around race based perceptions and misperceptions. Freak.

Because you and Hussein made it abundantly clear that you DID NOT LIKE AMERICA. Not because of your skin color. None of us could have cared less about that.

Wouldn’t it have been better for them to learn that black butlers wearing tuxcedos serve BOTH white and black people? Or di she think that black servers should not wear tuxedos but white ones should?

Ahhh. Thats the ticket white butlers wearing tuxedos serving black people!

If Clarence Thomas becomes President I will being white put on a Tux and gladly serve him and his entire family.

How callous of all the previous ‘first couples’ to think that their children could figure it out for themselves.

“Obama said that when she visited Laura Bush for the handover she was butlers fully dressed in tuxedos, most of them older African American or Latino men.

“Obama says that she spent ‘a lot of time’ trying to figure out ‘how do I make this mansion with butlers and staff a home for two little girls?’

“She says: ‘I didn’t want them thinking that grown African American men serve them in tuxedos.”
