FLOTUS wearing Tracy Reese |
Poignant, personable and totally on point. So good, in fact, that news pundits today pondered if FLOTUS is contemplating a run for office.
This is the image of Black women that America needs to see -- not another tired reality show featuring Black women fighting and cussing each other out, stealing each other's men and acting like asses, or stereotypical and racist images and interpretations of FLOTUS on a magazine cover bearing her breasts. Will it change racists' opinions? No, because they're going to think what they're going to think, regardless.
No matter, it will change our opinions of ourselves, hopefully beyond the cast of "characters" on Black reality TV. Which, by no means represent Black women as a whole, but do a damn good job of overwhelmingly showing the strippers, gold diggers, get it at any cost, "Angry Black women" and other stereotypes prominent today.
What did you think of FLOTUS' outfit?
