Tuesday, November 18, 2008 Michelle Obama's Butt: How Mrs Obama's Booty is Symbolizing "A Brand-New Beauty Norm" in Modern American Culture Michelle Obama and her booty. Michelle Obama's Butt African American commentator Erin Aubry Kaplan explores the significance of the first African American President through his wife Michelle's magnificent booty. Kaplan, who describes herself as "a black girl who came of age in the utterly anticlimactic aftermath of the civil rights movement," explains: "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 corruscating intelligence, beauty, style and — drumroll, please — a butt. (Yes, you read that right: I'm going to talk about the first lady's butt.)" And she does: Kaplan muses, "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." Kaplan sees Michelle Obama's butt as the a signifier of her blackness, as a symbol of what it means to be black.

Even every liberal in America knows Michelle has a big butt. At first, I'd say it was rude of the Congressman to say so, but it turns out he simply was overheard saying to someone on the phone: "She lectures us on eating right while she has a large posterior herself." That's not even rude. It's just true.

>> Their racism becomes more overt with each passing day....... Sensenbrenner seems to miss the point, which is that it is a common physical trait amongst African women. If there is to be any complaint, it should be that he shouldn't have commented on a physical trait Ms. Obama has no control over. There is nothing new about this. In some places, African women have, for centuries, carried their babies on their substantial asses. So, it is now racist to point out that some women have physical characteristics that derive from their African genetic heritage? You have a very strange and confused idea of what racism is and isn't. While you have shown, time and again, that you're the worst racist on this thread, you come here falsely accusing others of racism? Give it up, Ted. It wasn't racist. It was just a stupid, inadvisable remark. Liberals do it all the time.
