That's the ultimate irony of Jarod's comment. He actually hit on a very important point but had no idea he did. He was referring to her skin color in terms of white people.
C'mon .. you're smarter than that.
Mrs. Obama's skin tone has nothing whatsoever to do with "blacks being racist against their own."
I dont think they will say it. I think they will feel it, I lived in Alabama for 4 years. Ive seen it.
Obama is not a black man, he is a half black man. His mother, the parent who raised him, is a white woman from Kansas. I dont belive he would have gotten where he is, were that not the fact.
I agree, I have said that the voter will not have as much a problem with Obama sleeping on the clean white sheets of the white house beds as they will with his wife.
Admit it or not, the fact that she is darker than him is a real problem for them, in my opinion.
If someone is racist you think they look at Obama and say 'he's only half black so I only half hate him?"
I was talking about people in general, people are more racist agains black people, the darker they are... Black people included.
I am seriously confused. What was your point when you said "exactly" in response to Cawacko saying that the shade mattered then?

I can't believe you even had to explain that.
Anyway, skin tone is not the issue. Michelle Obama is going to be portrayed by the reich wing, as an "uppity", too-smart-for-her-own-good, meddling woman who has ambitions of her own. Count on it.
ok... so you are saying that as long as it is a mixed marriage that racists won't care???
Side note: I think it is extremely pathetic to suggest that Obama only got where he is today because he had a white mom.
It validates him.
He's not OJ .. doesn't judge beauty by skin tone.

ok.... still confused. Not trying to be a pain here, I really do not understand.
What do you mean it validates him?
That's only marginally true.
No, that is not what I was saying. Read my words if you want to see what I was saying.
So what you are saying here is that you understand>?
Doubt it. She'll probably be betrayed as being hot, which she is. She's not Hillary.
