KLP That boggles my mind too. She isn't the first person in the USA to grow up with minimal means in small dwellings. Perhaps what we are seeing is that her whole pattern of thinking, her gestalt (that's a nice word), is built around the concept of people always having and needing social workers around them or becoming one. Even though people have more financial means they are still locked in the same mental patterns----the same gestalt. mj

Michele Obama said her mother still lives in the one room walk up she grew up in I don't think that will go down well even with the target audience. Nobody is bigger on taking care of their mothers than newly successful black people. It's a cliche that whenever some kid makes it to the NBA or the Majors, the first thing he does is buy his mother a big house in a good neighborhood. Even if the poor woman doesn't want to move, she's practically forced to, it would look so bad for her child if she didn't.
