This is the black version of saying the quiet part out loud.

A wife is supposed to support her husband. That’s what she did. And at that time, Barack wasn’t that well known. I thought he was going to run 2012, not 2008.

Not every person who runs for president has a chance. Imagine if social media existed in its current form back then. Look how many Black people just woke up from seeing our white “friends” posting racist things.

So I understand what she’s saying.

BUT, Black people still have this problem with revealing everything unflattering about the community publicly. She doesn’t have to keep saying these things about him. We get it. You didn’t expect him to become what he became, but you don’t have to keep saying it, Michelle.

:francis:

Black people keep it TOO real.

sorry to disappoint you but that's never going to happen

alot of black folks still love and worship the Clintons like historical black figures so it's gonna take another two centuries before most black folks sour on the Obamas, especially black women.

Breh you already contradicting yourself. You said it's never going to happen then you said itll take 2 centuries.

Whatever the time frame, it will happen. 10 years ago the black community had a mostly positive to apathetic view of the Clintons. Fast forward to now and you have a very large segment of black people who simply don't like them as politicians. Another segment who are acutely aware of their political actions in destabilization of states. And another smaller segment that think they are large scale sex trafficking pedophiles.

As people become more educated and more information comes out about Barack's political dealings behind the scene, black people's opinion will change on the Obama's.

This is not my personal theory, this is history repeating itself.

:ehh:

I felt Obama was a c00n way before any of yall did and I was pleasantly surprised to discover he wasn't

I had a conspiracy theory back then that the only reason white folks would elect a nicca was that they were gonna use him as a black face to screw over niccas way worse than they were already doing

I was pleasantly surprised to see that wasn't the case :obama:

Sounds like she was mad that he won because she did not want to play a supportive role (surprise surprise lol).

Before Barack was the Pres (or State Senator) she was the bread winner. I'm sure she loved holding that over him.
Brothers on the IBMOR game know where I'm going but i'll leave it at this.

More like Jada, tbh. Can’t wait to hear about her entanglement next :unimpressed:

Wouldn't shock me if W Bush hit that :unimpressed:
