Really?

So they're going after Michelle Obama for not wearing black designers. Seriously!? Nevermind the enormous pressure the fashion set has placed on her; bringing back the fashion industry and what not. Never mind the microscope any First Lady is under. Amnau Eele is co-founder of the Black Artists Association. She had to audacity to call out Mrs. Obama for, of all things, not wearing a black designer. She's really not required to wear a black designer and doesn't owe black designers anything. Mrs. Obama has a black hairstylist and perhaps makeup artist. But these times are beyond that black nationalist kind of talk. The Obamas are worldly and sophisticated, not limited to promoting an agenda for blacks alone. They represent the wonderful diverse place this country has become. As a citizen of this country I was proud to see people from all walks of life at the Obama rally I attended before the election. That crowd represented the country being ignited by something greater than personal agenda. It was a collective unity among the West Indians and Koreans, the single mothers, the daughters of doctors, the college sophomores and great-grand parents. That's what Mr. and Mrs. Obama represent-everyone. To say ,"That was our (black people) moment," is divisive and selfish in an atmosphere of unity and hopefulness. The moment belonged to America an Mrs. Obama wore designs from American designers quite well.
