Yesterday my younger brother posted what I can only describe
as a piece of ignorant dribble derived from that of an over-privileged mind. I
want to take this moment now to say that this is another segment about race so
if you’re going to get sensitive either stop reading now or leave that stuff at
the door and follow along with me.
Now, the issue at hand is this article: http://madworldnews.com/michelle-obama-white-girls/
The article’s title is “Michelle Obama Sends Message To
White Girls That They Don’t Matter”
Let that sink in for a moment. It is obviously crafted to
serve as click bait to ensure someone reads it. But, as the saying goes, “One
cannot judge a book by its cover” so, too, “One cannot judge an article off of a
sensational headline”. In the interest of not being shallow in my assessment, I
clicked on this link and read the article.
Here’s a summary if you didn’t click the link above:
Basically Michelle Obama attended the “Black Girls Rock” event and as a result
of doing so, she told white girls they don’t matter.
It takes some effort for me as a Black Woman and a Latina to
get through the article and took even more effort to nicely summarize the point
of the article as I did above. Ok, now that I have that little item out of the
way, let me get to my opinion and why I have arrived at my opinion.
