- Introducing Michelle Obama, Angry Black Woman. What an absurd caricature this is turning out to be.
Not to mention a confusing one. Growing up on Chicago’s South Side, Michelle was probably accused of “acting white” because she excelled academically and went off to the Ivy League. Now — abracadabra — she’s a Black Panther.
There was even a malicious rumor that Michelle had given a speech in her church in which she had used the word “whitey.” Never happened. Shame on those who spread the lie, and shame on those who rushed to swallow it.
