The amount of controversy over their interactions during the funeral is disgusting but not surprising.

Whites uncomfortable as shyt at a bm/wf laughing together. If that had been David Cameron and some black chick it wouldn't have been a thing....

Whites trying to paint Michelle as some angry black woman because she wasn't laughing in every single photo....

Did you see how she looked in the pics? she is the first lady and you can clearly see her upset with him.

No she isn't. She's just chilling at the moment *some* of the photos are taken, but because these photo's fit the narrative of some "angry, uppity, upset black woman" people are making a fuss.

The photographer that took the damn photos said this : http://blogs.afp.com/correspondent/?post/Selfie

Anyway, suddenly this woman pulled out her mobile phone and took a photo of herself smiling with Cameron and the US president. I captured the scene reflexively. All around me in the stadium, South Africans were dancing, singing and laughing to honour their departed leader. It was more like a carnival atmosphere, not at all morbid. The ceremony had already gone on for two hours and would last another two. The atmosphere was totally relaxed – I didn’t see anything shocking in my viewfinder, president of the US or not. We are in Africa.

I later read on social media that Michelle Obama seemed to be rather peeved on seeing the Danish prime minister take the picture. But photos can lie. In reality, just a few seconds earlier the first lady was herself joking with those around her, Cameron and Schmidt included. Her stern look was captured by chance.

I took these photos totally spontaneously, without thinking about what impact they might have. At the time, I thought the world leaders were simply acting like human beings, like me and you. I doubt anyone could have remained totally stony faced for the duration of the ceremony, while tens of thousands of people were celebrating in the stadium. For me, the behaviour of these leaders in snapping a selfie seems perfectly natural. I see nothing to complain about, and probably would have done the same in their place. The AFP team worked hard to display the reaction that South African people had for the passing of someone they consider as a father. We moved about 500 pictures, trying to portray their true feelings, and this seemingly trivial image seems to have eclipsed much of this collective work.

FWIW, I really dislike his "We are in Africa" line...I guess Africans are just some jolly, happy go lucky clowns. But that's besides the point of this topic. The main this is that 1) Obama wasn't acting unprofessionally or making light of Mandelas death and 2) Michelle was just sitting there, not upset.

People are buying into bullshyt narratives.
