OMG how dare she!!!!
Michelle is the new age Nancy Reagan "Just Say No" philosophy.
What do u mean "so what" She can't get up on her gatdamn high horse and start criticizin nyggaz for idolizin rappers and entertainers when in fact she is doin the same thing while bein the 1st lady. Can u not see the blatent hypocisy?
Cmon man, stop. JUst keep it real and call out her bullshyt. I voted for Barak and I rock with them, but at the same time, its ok to call out bullshyt when u see it
There's no bullshyt to call out. She was asked a question and she answered. Now if she went on to say I wish I never went to college and instead pursued a career as a singer, then you'd have a point. She didn't so you don't.
Was she ignoring her studies to be the next Beyonce?
Did Barack reject scholarship offers to be a rapper? Was he struggling in school but telling everybody he'd be good because he was going to the league?
A damn near 50 year old Ivy League educated lawyer saying she would like to switch places with Beyonce is different than a 15 year old talking about she's focusing on being the next reality star while on academic probation.

I knew nyggaz would find a way to defend Michelle
Somehow its "different"The fact that Michelle obama uttered those words " I wish I could switch places with beyonce" is fuccin rediculous.
Would nancy regan say "I wana switch places with madonna" Hell no. Would Laura Bush say she would wana switch places with Brittney Spears? Hello NO!
That's what makes it worse, the fact that a 50 yr old, educated lawyer and 1st lady would wana stoop down to Beyonces level ( a non college degree havin, scanatly clad dressin, azz shakin R&B singer)
Y'all don't hear me tho

I'm done. Tyrna get nyggaz to see the light. I'm bein too real for some of yal nyggaz. Nyggaz hate to hear the truth. I know there are some cats on here that know exactly what I'm talkin about. The other cats will continue to defend bullshyt no matter what

Could y'all imagine the outrage and heat that Barak would take if he said some shyt like "I wish I could trade places with Jay Z" The same usual nyggaz that are defendin Michelle Obama would be the ones bashin barak for sayin that shyt.

How many times has Obama directly addressed white resentment culture in America? How many times has he actually called out the people who actually voted against him for their cultural and societal ills?
Has Obama even uttered the phrase "Stop & Frisk" once?
Like I said, I actually agree with her statement...on it's most basic level. It's not like she gave some amazing insight, we've been hearing "get off the couch" for decades. The problem is that they aren't saying this stuff because they think it's going to actually help, or that they think the message is new or that it's going to resonate with people. They talk this talk because they are trying to appeal to white sensibilities. "Oh yeah, even the Obama's agree, ******s are laaaaaaazy". They are throwing us under the bus so that Obama can continue his ever-failing quest of trying to be viewed as "bipartisan". I voted for the guy twice, but I'm sick of hearing him adding to this narrative to build his own fukking (terrible) "legacy".
This dude won't even have a luncheon with the Congressional Black Caucus. So fukk him and Michelle if they think they are just gonna put us on blast to appeal to Billy-Bob and Beccy.
You want to know what an actual progressive politician might think about race in America right now? They might think that we need to legislate against supreme court cases like Terry v. Ohio and Whren v. US. They might think that we need another fukking civil rights bill. They might actually open their fukking mouth on the upcoming supreme court cases that may end Affirmative action. Obama is giving us "bootstrap" bullshyt.
Lastly....c'mon breh! The least you can do is rehost and actually post the image. You gave me a third part lank, that shyt is bad etiquette my man....
Not the point, at all. It's not about some quantitative comparison. What are you saying? "Some blacks are criminals, so I can and do throw all of them under the bus whenever I please while simultaneously relying on them as my most passionate voting block and it's cool"? Or are you saying that these things are cool as long as your group has better stats?
If you take what they are saying at face value. Sure, cool, thanks Michelle, I'll tell my children to lay off the CoD a bit and I'm sure that will change everything. Look deeper and you might actually be able to spot how foul this is.
One minute president Obama is "not the president of Black America, but the president of America" and the next he feels entitled to shyt on the entire community to score some political points with resentful cacs who have never been able to look themselves in the mirror and see their own faults.
This is slightly besides the point (And to be fair, I acknowledge that I was the one that brought it up)....but I think that the "these kids and their danfangled ipods" shyt is bogus. You yourself admitted that this stuff can "limit" a childs time in a bad environment (I never said it was going to stop it).
My complaint was more to do with the narrative aspect. This message didn't have fukk all to do with the black community. We have generational poverty, a culture that doesn't have enough respect for academia, and we still (as always) live in a western country that would rather be rid of us then attempt to actually bring us into the fold.
Also, the old bytch nagging shyt is just as tired, racial aspect of not :
The recent Time Magazine cover really irked me. Yes, the youth of this country is just sooo narcissistic. The problems in America almost exclusively stem from the Baby Boomers....particularly the white ones. They are the people holding this nation back. They have squeezed out the middle class and have created a culture where people think 15 bucks an hour is some sort of god-send. Obama has consistently tried to tap into this old-fashioned "the media is the devil" shyt and I'm tired of it. Black inner city youth have issues beyond Keeping Up With The Kardashians and CoD.
TLDR : The Obama's are full of shyt, as usual. Don't be duped by this narrative driven horseshyt brehs.

Michelle is right, black children should idolize her husband who is a corporate whore who refuses to prosecute banks for CRIMES openly, kills innocent people abroad with drones in what is widely regarded as war crimes, prosecutes a 13 year old war to no end, allows the banks to run amock in his administration and is now gonna cut Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, and every other spending program for what appears to be NO REASON.
What a dumb bytch.

So it was for a DAY only?The fake outrage.
Why Beyonce Is a Tough Friend for Michelle Obama - The Daily Beast
She even broadened her response by saying she'd be a great singer, that she'd enjoy having the power of music and performing.
People making it seem like she wants to be married to an ex-dope boy, wear provocative shyt and make hood rat anthems and that she regrets that hard work she put in to be an Ivy League educated lawyer.
So apparently, it's hypocritical for her to say that kids should work hard and not simply desire to be a baller or rapper because when asked a question by People magazine on who'd she like to switch places with for a day she said Beyonce, some singer because musicians have a lot of fun
You got the First Lady telling you to not to aspire to be a rapper but this drug dealer turned rapper is all up at the White House laughing it up, campaigning, they giving h special privileges and shyt just because he rap but she's telling you not to aspire to be like him. shyt would be confusing as a kid to her that shyt. 
Dudes act like this woman is immune to criticism.
