I believe that if you dont like what Malia or Mrs. Obama is wearing then dont look, Change the Channel, go to a different website! To be so critical of a family is Ridiculous, Whether they are the First Family or not, What they choose to wear doesn’t bother me, and it shouldn’t bother you! Like most people have been saying “Get a Life”, and fast! The Obama’s are amazing, from what the wear, to the smile on there faces as they read what these idiotic fools have to say about them! Malia looks great, her hair is too cute, and thats that! Leave this young girl alone!

I love that picture of Malia. I think that she looks like a hip kid. She is going to be just as beautiful as her mom when she grows up. My mom, who is an elementary school teacher, pointed out to me recently that peace signs are really in style, especially for kids. And then I started noticing them every where.

Regarding Mrs. Obama’s shorts, which obviously this post was not about, but *some* people want to drag into the convo, I read this recently on outblush (a website for women of ALL types, and the sister site of uncrate, the men’s site for “guys who like stuff”):

So…Miley Cyrus wears a peace sign shirt and it becomes a trend.

Malia Obama wears a peace sign shirt and a racial slur-fest ensues.

I really don’t understand the ignorance of some people these days. -_-

Most women UNDERSTAND DECORUM and know that it isn’t acceptable to wear short shorts in a foreign city that is not a resort. The Obama girls and their mother and grandmother and godmother and Michelle’s brother and his family when they travel on the taxpayer’s money should dress appropriately. They should put some clothes on. They are representing the U.S. not auditioning for a role in a porn movie.

Uh,excuse me, haters, but she looks totally _normal_, like a kid. And twisties are totally _normal_. I bet some people have just never really seen or known a black kid before and judge her appearance by what they see in the movies.

Oh my god…I had not heard about this until now. I really had no idea that the racism was this bad. I suppose I’m ignorant in that regard, but being raised in the California Bay Area I was not exposed to it all that often. To hear the things that people would say about a child is disgusting. For god’s sake…she is wearing her hair natural! It’s not like it’s dyed blue or something!

I hope that The Obama ladies read Afrobella and that they continue to just be themselves. Great post as usual!
