Michelle Obama - Sassy Black Woman

One of the criticism I get quite often is from women who say things along the lines of "I guess you only know ghetto black women and don't know about all the professional college educated black women who don't conform to your stereotypes!!"

Whatever. Give me a break.

I'm a black male professional who has been involved in the black community all my life, yet somehow I've never met a black woman who wasn't ghetto? This is a problem black people in general have, the belief that a college degree automatically cures them of a lot of the bad habits of "lower class" blacks. This elitism is especially common among sassy black women in the professional world. Let me clarify and specify that not only does the Sassy Black Woman phenomenon happen among the professional class, but in many ways it's worse there because so many black women with degrees really let them go to their head. Among white people, a college degree means nothing and are taken for granted unless it's from a top school or a tough major. If you say you got a Harvard, Yale or Wharton degree, white people piss themselves. Otherwise, degrees are a dime a dozen. Among black women, however, getting any college degree is an accomplishment on par with curing cancer and the sense of entitlement and sassiness goes through the roof. At least with ghetto black chicks it's excusable to be sassy somewhat because of their environment and role models. It's worse when a college-educated professional black woman like Michelle Obama is being sassy because she has had enough exposure to good role models and top institutions to get her to lose that sass by now.

Here is the latest way Michelle Obama has undermined her husband:
http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2007-09-27-obama-michelle_N.htm

From the article:

"Iowa will make the difference," she said. "If Barack doesn't win Iowa, it is just a dream. If we win Iowa then we can move to the world as it should be. And we need your help in making that happen."

Typically, meeting expectations in Iowa is nearly as important as who actually wins, so candidates are careful about their public comments on the importance they place on a victory.

Way to go, Michelle. Throw in the towel early and make your husband look bad if he loses Iowa. Of course the Obama campaign, which must hate Michelle by now, had to rush and do damage control.

On Thursday, Obama's campaign made it clear that they were optimistic about their chances in Iowa but didn't consider it essential that they win.

"Every campaign has said it's important to do well in Iowa, and that's our goal," said Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for Obama's Iowa campaign.

This is not an isolate case. Michelle Obama has had two interviews where her naturall sassiness has caused her to undermine and embarass her husband publicly.

In Vogue magazine she mentioned how she really hated staying home with her kids because it wasn't "intellectually stimulating" enough (she's a lawyer, for Pete's sake, it's not like she has an intellectually stimulating career to begin with!), but rather than "instead of divorcing her husband," she decided to stick around. But she is a tough "disciplinarian" and keeps Obama "in check."

As if that wasn't embarassing enough, check out her Glamor magazine interview:

In an interview with Glamour Magazine, Mrs. Obama details her two girls' morning ritual, a time, she says, when her husband Barack is often "snore-y and stinky."

“We have this ritual in the morning," Michelle Obama told Glamour. "They come in my bed, and Dad isn’t there — because he’s too snore-y and stinky, they don’t want to ever get into bed with him."

"But we cuddle up and we talk about everything from what is a period to the big topic of when we get a dog: what kind?” she added.

Michelle Obama often discusses more intimate details about her husband on the campaign trail — even her annoyances with the Illinois Democrat.

"There's the Barack Obama who lives in my house," she said when introducing her husband earlier this year. "That guy's not as impressive. He still has trouble … putting his socks actually in the dirty clothes, and he still doesn't do a better job than our 5-year-old daughter Sasha at making his bed, so you'll have to forgive me if I'm a little stunned at this whole Barack Obama thing."

Though some have criticized her for expressing such gripes, Mrs. Obama defended the practice to Glamour.

"People have notions of what a wife’s role should be in this process, and it’s been a traditional one of blind adoration. My model is a little different—I think most real marriages are," she said.

Oh yeah, it's only ghetto black women that can get sassy, I'm obviously ignoring the professionals, right? Let's keep it real, people.

A White Guy Calls Out The Sassy Black Bible, Essence Magazine

This white blogger calls out Essence magazine for its pitiful article about Black males and sex tourism in Brazil. He blatantly rails at the mag for its hypocrisy, racism and sexism, and for its transparent attempt to continue the sassy black female tradition of publicly scapegoating the black male based on the flimsiest hearsay and questionable proof. It's good to see that more and more people beside black men are starting to see through the bullshit propaganda and victimology that sassy black women love spreading.

What You Say vs. What A Sassy Black Women Hears

What you say: "Sassy black women are way too inflexible, angry and confrontational in relationships. That's why I don't date them. Nonblack women are generally nicer and more easygoing."

What a sassy black woman hears: "You are too strong, intelligent, independent, beautifil and queenlike for me. Therefore, because i am closeminded, weak and racist/self-hating, I will date nonblack women because they are weak and inferior."

What you say: "Sassy black women don't work out enough and take care of their bodies. Too many of them rely on natural metabolism to take care of their bodies, and when their metabolism slows down they don't make adjustments in diet and exercise, thus making too many of them get huge asses and lose their nice bodies at too young an age. If they hit the gym more, I'd date more of them.

What a sassy black woman hears: "I am obviously a racist and a misogynist that can't handle "real women." Real women have huge, sloppy asses and don't work out with regularity and discipline. I hate you because you're black. Women in shape with good proportions are "fake" and self-hating and oppressed and are obviously suffering from bulimia, anorexia and white media brainwashing. Any women, especially black women, who care about being physically fit are selling out, not being true to their natural black body and self-hating."

What you say: "I hate you sometimes because you act like a bitch when you totally don't need to."

What a sassy black woman hears: "I hate you because you're a strong, black woman and I'm threatened by your regal ways."

What you say: "You're fired because you are rude on the phone to customers, always have an attitude, talk to your friends on the phone all day and have no people skills."

What a sassy black woman hears: "You're fired because you are black and a woman. Because you are both black and a woman, life is harder for you more than anyone else in the world, this despite the fact that you were mostly hired with your subpar resume due to hiring quotas and despite the fact that if you were white you would have been canned a LONG time ago. Please complain to the EEOC and sue my ass for discrimination."

What you say: "Have you ever considered therapy for all your emotional issues?"

What a sassy black woman hears: "I hate you because you are black and a woman and I'm threatened by your ways."

In summation, , regardless of which race or gender is complaining about her chip on her shoulder, sense of entitlement and surly ways, what a sassy black woman always hears is "It's not your fault, the rest of the world is wrong and you're right, and no matter how many sources you hear complaints from, there is no way the problem in your personal and professional relationships could POSSIBLY originate from you. EVERYTHING comes down to the fact that NO one can handle a strong black woman."

Also, why is it that whenever a sassy black woman proudly declares herself to be a "strong, black woman," in actuality without fail she's actually a bitch on wheels?

Rihanna Pulls a Polow Move

[Click image to enlarge]

I wonder if the black community is going to give Rihanna the same grief they gave Polow Da Don? With Polow it wasn't just about black women getting mad, you had every simp and mangina coming out of the woodwork to crucify him too. Now Rihanna has done a similar move. Be interesting to see how it affects both their careers in the long run. It's a civil war out there between black women and black men, y'all.

Role Models For Sassy Black Women, Pt. 2

Latest in an ongoing series.

Here's a great black woman that provides a pretty good role model: Aisha Tyler



First off, she's really beautiful, but that's pretty obvious. Even better, she embraces spunkiness not sassiness. She isn't ever out there whooping and hollering in the press, she's never sassing it up for the cameras or doing roles as some customer anonymous service bitch (it annoys me that so many small-time black actresses have pretty much made a career out of appearing as the bitchy customer service broad whenever a show or commercial needs one). She comes off as down to earth, can be self-deprecating, is funny and really articulate. Plus she doesn't have that bobblehead thing going on that black chicks do with their necks and heads.

Bad role model? Mary J. Blige. I don't know who nominated this hoodrat as the patron saint of a whole generation of sassy black women, but she is a horrible role model. First off, she spent a long time walking and acting and dancing like a total thugged out hip-hop dude, not the least big feminine. At some point she was cleaned up and taught to walk and move more gracefully, I'm assuming by her record label or publicist, but she still speaks horribly. And her music is victim music at its worst. If I hear another fan or another article talk about how much "drama" and hardships she overcame, I'm going to puke. Any problem this bitch had, she created for herself. Drugs, bad men, hood mentality...stop making yourselves into these victimized martyrs, sassy black women (same goes for Halle Berry)! How many songs and albums does Blige have about "No more drama" and all the people that supposedly kept her down and working against her. We all know drama queens like this in real life, the ones who spend every waking moment talking about how someone at work or some chick at a party was somehow plotting against them. She's just teaching a whole new generation of sassy black chicks how to engage in narcissistic divalike behavior and how to become full-time drama queens.

Mary J. Blige: not a "survivor," not a "victim," not a "fighter," just a ghetto chick who made a lot of cash singing cute little simpleton diddies over well-known, no-brainer hip-hop beats that were already popular. She got rich with this formula and didn't know how to act when she got the money. Sassy black women always have to exaggerate the things other sassy black women "overcome" and make it sound like they have hardships worse than every other group of women on earth, no matter how mundane or commonplace these problems are (bad men? catty women? partying too hard? *yawn*) Get some perspective here. She's not some courageous refugee that escaped prison camps or a police state. She didn't survive rape rooms in Iraq. She wasn't a third world sex slave living in poverty. She wasn't growing up in one of those countries or cultures that rape and persecute their women at will and commit genocide against them every year. She's just a ghetto chick that got rich but kept doing dumb shit with men, partying and drugs because no one took the time or interest to take the ghetto out of her. End of story. Now she does speeches about being with a positive man, avoiding petty drama and not blaming everybody else for her self-created problems:



Read the comments for the video. Black women act like she was some inspirational crusader that overcame some crazy shit like Harriet Tubman or Rosa Parks, just for finally getting common sense and talking about choosing good men and not being a drama queen. This is basic common sense that the average woman with half a brain knows by the time she hits her mid-20s, not some groundbreaking insight or a cure for cancer. Expect more from your idols, sassy black women, and realize that when someone has to keep broadcasting and yapping to anyone who will listen about how strong she is and how great she is, she is actually probably insecure and weak. Really strong and secure people don't broadcast that shit 24/7 like they have something to prove.
