No other first lady would be disrespected like this

New York magazine's Daily Intel blog published and subsequently deleted a blog post focused on the First Lady's butt on Tuesday afternoon. The post by Dan Amira, headlined, "Now That's Something To Salute," featured a photo of President Obama saluting the marine standing guard outside Marine One as Michelle Obama walked up the helicopter's stairs. It read: "This morning President Obama departed for the G20 summit in London and a week of other meetings around Europe, his first visit since last summer's epic charm offensive. As he boarded Marine One, Obama returned the salute of the marine standing guard ... we think. It also looks like Obama might just be blocking the sun's glare as he checks out Michelle's booty." This would never have been posted in reference to any former first lady, but this kind of dialogue plays into the hyper-sexual stereotypes of black women and the fact that the most powerful man in the Western world would be checking out his wife's behind under the guise of a salute. When things like this and the New York Post chimp cartoon are spotlighted, some will say "stop playing the race card," but the facts -- and in this case the image and the headline -- show the race card has been dealt.SOURCE:THE DAILY VOICE
