Besides being a flaming racist, yeah, she's great. Funny--I don't recall Claire Huxtable whining about the world is so unfair like Mrs. Chosen One.
As a white woman with irish grandparents, i want to say something about the concept of race first of all:
Our phenotypes (body types and skin color) reflect our ancestry and the way the evolutionary process
shaped our bodies over time.
The process of evolution shaped our body to adapt to wherever humans lived on the planet. A longer body stays cooler. A short, stocky body will stay warmer. Needing more Vitamin D (sunlight) favors a northern, white skin. Needing less Vitamin D favors a darker skin. This is not a static process, but an evolving process.
Cultural meaning is superficially placed on top of that.
The concept of 'race' has no substance apart from what is culturally constructed.
This aside, Michelle Obama is totally stunning on every level i can think of and am so glad she is to be our First Lady.
I liked the article and I look forward to seeing how Mrs. Obama will make the role of First Lady uniquely her own. While she is closer to an average Black woman that Halle Barry, Oprah or Beyonce, she is still extraoridnary in a couple of other ways-she has a Harvard and Princeton education and she pulled down over $200K as a lawyer. Honestly, I don't know anyone like that. Too bad she wasn't a teacher or nurse, good professions but much more work-a-day average. But both of the Obama's have the most "average" backgrounds to occupy the White House in any number of years.
