Big boo-tay in the White House!
Why do I get the feeling that if I decided to ruminate for 1,000 words on the size of Michelle Obama’s ass, it probably wouldn’t go over very well with the black and/or feminist community. But for some reason, because Erin Aubry Kaplan at Salon.com is a black woman, she can write whatever masoginist, racist, banal crap that she wants to:
But what really thrills me, what really feels liberating in a very personal way, is the official new prominence of Michelle Obama. Barack’s better half not only has stature but is statuesque. She has coruscating intelligence, beauty, style and — drumroll, please — a butt. (Yes, you read that right: I’m going to talk about the first lady’s butt.)
Actually, it took me and a lot of other similarly configured black women by surprise. So anxious and indignant were we about Michelle getting attacked for saying anything about America that conservatives could turn into mud, we hardly looked south of her neck. I noted her business suits and the fact she hardly ever wore pants (unlike Hillary). As I gradually relaxed, as Michelle strode onto more stages and people started focusing on her clothes and presence instead of her patriotism, it dawned on me — good God, she has a butt! “Obama’s baby (mama) got back,” wrote one feminist blogger. “OMG, her butt is humongous!” went a typical comment on one African-American online forum, and while it isn’t humongous, per se, it is a solid, round, black, class-A boo-tay. Try as Michelle might to cover it with those Mamie Eisenhower skirts and sheath dresses meant to reassure mainstream voters, the butt would not be denied.
This coming from the same woman that previously wrote about Jennifer Lopez’s “bountiful backside”. Certainly Kaplan has a 3 part expose on Kim Kardashian forthcoming?
