Constantly trying to prove you're more oppressed than the next lady is really taxing.
Yup, that's an actual headline from WaPo (with similar ones from multiple media outlets, nonetheless!).
"America wasn't ready."
We're just so racist and evil here in America. Sure, we elected the first black president, but he and his wife had to appear to be white so those racist white people would tolerate them.
After all, it's not like the Obamas are wildly radical and live lavish lives completely inconsistent with the leftist values they tout in public!
Who could ever criticize them?
First lady Michelle Obama considered wearing her hair in braids while living in the White House. But then she thought of the American people.
Aw, isn't that sweet?
Or, you know, condescending in the extreme?
They were "just getting adjusted" to having a Black president in the Oval Office and a Black family in the White House, so she decided to keep her hair straight, Obama said at the Warner Theatre in Washington on Tuesday, the first of a 13-night cross-country tour to promote her new book, "The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times."
Bless our racist little hearts.
We were getting "adjusted."
These people all hate you and me.
Not to be left out, CNN joined in on explaining why we little people weren't ready for braided hair:
"Obama is currently on tour for her third book..."
