Am i missin somethin? whats the problem?

huh?

3#rd nerds who is Obama?

Whats the issue?

This is a cartoon. I think this is accurate.

i dont see whats wrong with it…

I think it is ok, but I don’t want the New Yorker doing anything for the Obama’s! Cause behind the scenes they are calling us MONKEYS……….Bastards!!! So don’t do us now F’ing favors!!

sorry I meant NO Favors

I guess I’m not black enough for this one…

What am I missing here?

The New Yorker is trying to be real funny! I think when they talk about fashionista Michelle…they are trying to take away from her intelligence!

This is a huge improvement over the “Militant Michelle” cover last year. Mrs. Obama has become quite the fashion icon.

I’ll have to pick up this issue.

nope…dont see the issue on this

What’s the problem with this? I mean Really, what’s the problem?

IDIOTS. This is a compliment. Like Jackie Kennedy.

IDIOTS. Someone needs to lose their blogging duties.

STOP REACHING

I guess my only problem is that they’re emphasizing her “style” before her intelligence and philanthropic efforts. The cover is cool, but I am getting quite tired of her being portrayed as some runway model or some shit…

Sorry. I meant I love the cover. lol

I actually don’t see anything wrong with this one. Atleast she is wearing sleeves for once…

thank god most of you are not smart enough to make an issue of this…
but l find it that, these guys sell their magazine on causing contorversy involving black americans.
obviously what this trying to say is what Michele is all about is cute dresses and posses…
it easy to dissect this if u’ve studied arts..

Are ya’ll going to elaborate on yall issue??? It looks like a Terry McMillan book as far the illustration of Black women.

Well, there is nothing wrong with the cover. They are hoping we complain about so they can prove their theory that blacks are too sensitive, and that we cry over the most stupid things…

So let’s not give them what they want! The cover is fine.

Nothing here to see…move along people

Moving right along!

Eventhough she is more than just a fashion icon…majority of the media outlets just focus on what she’s wearing…so in this case can you really blame them????

What the hell is the problem?!?!?!?!?

Whoever posted this thread needs 3 uppercuts……….

SHADE all across the board Shade they need to stop ::: stop buying the magazine

LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ON THE THREAD SAID, I ASK, WHAT THE H3LL IS THE PROBLEM???????

They are not slick….they are taking a crack at the “issue” with her showing her arms too much….you see they are all covered

Of course she’s fierce, classy and full of heart and crazy INTELLECT…SHE’S A CAPRICORN!

I don’t know how to take this really…I guess it is pretty insulting being as though the woman worked so hard to get where she is…she is a friggin HARVARD edcuated lawyer and as I am sure she doesn’t mind being a fashion Icon, whyyyy in the world they are focusing on that is beyond me? But on the other hand that is how our media nd our world is they focus on what makes you FAMOUS not what makes you smart.

TOTALLY A CASE OF BLACK PEOPLE BEING TOOO SENSITIVE! U IDIOTS ARE THE ONES THAT STARTED THE WHOLE”MICHELLE IS A FASHION ICON” CRAP!! BLACK PEOPLE WILL NEVER BE HAPPY I SWEAR! ITS REDICULOUS… BUT WHATEVER UR ONLY MAKING UR WORLD MISERABLE BY LETTING EVERYTHING UPSET YOU! NO ONE ELSE BUT U!

Ummmmm, I don’t c anything wrong with this cover. In fact, I think it’s pretty cool.

Michelle Obama is the 1st, 1st Lady since Jackie Kennedy 2 inspire the imaginations of so many people, and the New Yorker is reflecting that.

Now that cover they put out last year was str8 up BS…

It’s called satire…

LMAO @ fu^&tard

I like it!!! What is supposed to be wrong with this pic?????

There’s nothing wrong with this cover.

Looks like their doing a piece on her style, and the cover looks nice.

I think she actually looks better on the cover.

@ BE
By now, really. When is it, just this, they always do this. Always subliminal messgaes, that’s how they operate. Con man, as Marley says…

they praise people like paris hilton with NO BRAINS and hate on a well rounded BLACK WOMAN who is just as intelligent as her husband..THE PRESIDENT.

What is wrong with the cover? I mean I understand not liking the New Yorker but this cover of Michelle is not bad or offensive.

@ Kigali (Birth control until marriage)
It’s not a Diva thing with me. I see through all the games that are given to us.. Well let’s say most. You are so hard on woman. Who have you dated that makes you see All BLK Women as what you usually see or have been around?

Nothing is wrong with the cover and yes blacks in America are way to sensitive the Obama’s are fair game…just like any other president and first lady. It is crazy if white people say something about him/them they are racist and if black people say something they are sell outs! By the way I AM A BLACK FEMALE

@souther LA Cal,

Youre my neighbor btw. I live in LA. Anyway I am a woman and I see through all the games that black females play. They love to scream victim, racism. Everywhere they go there is something to complain about. On the Kanye West thread you were just talking about hard done by dark skinned women. More victimization. Its all a power play with black females, If they feel like they are being victimized, their is no limit to how they can react and it will all be justified.

I am sick of it and as a black woman, they make my life harder than it has to be because when people see me, they see that angry black female just ready to start some shit. black females call that strength, I call it insecurity, weakness and pettiness.

Just Sayin, “Don’t expect respect from the people who want to put a noose around ya neck”

I’m Black and i’m not finding anything wrong with this….

@ WOW : lol say what? the pic looks exactly like michelle obama ! That’s how she looks you fool !

ummm alot of “first ladies” were style icons, it’s a compliment and the drawing looks just like michelle, it’s pretty and flattering. Give the whole “racism” thing a break. The new yorker does this to EVERYONE in the limelight, why would they leave the Obama’s out of it?

As a First Lady she’s only made a statement with her fashion ( to be honest )

She’s been really shy of coming out in any way politically so as not to anger the Obama-haters out there who couldn’t handle a strong wife ( WE KNOW SHE IS )

I’m okay with the cover, it could have been worse.. let’s face it and any press is good press.

______________________________
I was talking about hard done??? I don’t get it. I don’t like half of these fake celebs on here. Just how peeps see them as gold. I can go hard on that. I am a conscience sister. You in L.A. too. Great. These high as taxes and shit. LOL!!! But I feel where you are coming from. I am getting better and away from the robbing myself… Society and going for that American Dream, makes you rob yourself and others too.

O.k. now were being to sensitive. Everything is not a jab. Just because the mention that she is fashionable is not a strike against her intellect. Every first lady is always mentioned because of style or lack there of. Stop reaching for a problem.

Does anyone on this post actually ever read The New Yorker? I doubt it. The cover is appropriate.

i’m confused.

where’s the issue?!?!

Naw… I’m as vocally militant as u can get. When the New Yorker did that ish last year with the Obamas, I called em out.

In THIS case:

This so happens 2 b the STYLE issue of the New Yorker. They went with a tastefully rendered cartoon of the First Lady 4 the cover, and I really don’t c any subliminal or ulterior messages here.

Jackie Kennedy was reknowned 4 her sense of style and decorum, and no other first lady has ever been recognized on that same level until Mrs Obama.

Trust… the monkey cartoons and watermelon emails weren’t lost on most of us -but I c that most of us here don’t find a problem with the cover of the STYLE issue of this magazine.

lol I guess theyre tryna depict that she’s fly of course. I hope they not tryna make an issue outta that! She aint the hottest chick in the game for no reason.

im lost

it’s not black people who are too sensitive, it the people who say they speak for black people who are too sensitive. these public figures do not speak for all of us.

don’t c the prob here… u just a lil ralph tresvant & need 2 jus calm down. sheesh

I fell to see the hate on this one, or I’m I missing something

That’s a HUGE problem with black people. You don’t get MAD ENOUGH. You forgive the oppressors QUICKLY and shun the wise and bold. I can’t believe I actually saw some lady post that she would “have to pick this issue up”. WOW. Why on earth would she or ANYBODY black EVER support these people after the ONE time they published racism??? That’s all it takes for me. True colors don’t change they just get brighter.

Dear Victim,

You need to move on. Still stuck in the same old yesteryear. Go hang with Sharpton, and Jesse.

Love, love, love this. Suitable for framing.

@JayJay

Please enlighten me on what exactly is wrong with this particular issue. The reason why stuff offends people so much is because they allow it to. And, this might be surprising but I honestly did not see what the big hoopla was over the previous issue they put out with Barack in Muslim garb and Michelle looking militant with a machine gun. It was satire and it was intended to make fun of the ridiculous sterotypes that people were putting on the Obamas. This particular issue is not offensive to me and I would not have looked at it and gotten offended by anything whatsoever. Sometimes we are so busy creating stuff to get offended over that we create more problems for ourselves in the long run. Loosen up…

@ Kigali (Birth control until marriage)-i’m black, & i’m not angry & i dont feel like anyone owes me shit..most of my friends are black and are some of the most respectable & sincere young women alive..& they DONT go looking for trouble..so for you to generalize all black women like that is beyond me

@ love
Yes. Also, females don’t understand the true Goddess, we are. Maybe it’s not a diva or picking a fight. It’s just respect, but it’s been tainted by con mans that have force us to subdue to their masses.. So, it involves a lot to me. Don’t just see the one side. Some peeps need to be around more empowering peeps to help them achieve… But they way you come off with it. It’s negative as well, my love. So, you right in the boat

Love this is for Kigali (Birth control until marriage).. I agree with you!

i agree its just a spoof. i had no idea they spoof folks.But to the people who didnt get it they are saying that she is just here to look pretty and dress up wear nice things. When she is so much more than that she is the other half to the most inspirational blessing us black folks EVER seen she is our first lady. Our black first lady.And should not be critisized for looking good while making history.but im all for funny spoofs.there is a very thin line between funny and just down right insulting.

I agree…i don’t see anything wrong with the picture per se but why is it that the New Yorker keeps posting up these sort of pictures (Obama) after all the controversy with the previous posts…it’s like maybe they are doin this on purpose…don’t be fooled folks I’m sure there is some underlining jab at the Obamas…not being sensitive b/c I really don’t care but I remember the whole “monkey” & Obama cover…even a child with basic historical knowledge would be able to pick up the racial sterotype…there is a difference b/c pure underlining racism and being sarcastic…I do state that from the looks of it, I see nothing wrong with the above picture but u never know

ummmm…..I don’t get it.

In my opinion Michelle is a woman of substance. Of course she does not only only embody what they have portrayed here but if they were trying to do that with a single cover they would quickly run out of space, so let them start here, who’s to say it will be the first and last cover that features her exclusively. Like it or not, the First lady on the ‘WORLD STAGE’. Thus far she has done a great job.

she is on the WORLD’S STAGE, and so is the president. This is pretty accurate.

What is the problem? Looks like people are too sensitive if this is offensive. What is she, not a topic of conversation because she is black?

I can only see that they have her arms covered…which is a hmmm for me.

What is the problem exactly?? I really don’t get it.

@love,

I am glad that you are black but not angry. My point is that there are enough angry black females out there to ruin it for most of us. You and your friends arent representative of most black females. You are the minority. Thats the problem.

The cover is fine – take your meds

oh COME OOOOON maaan. Maybe they should just stop ANY coverage of the family?
You know, he is our president and she is his wife. Let them!

Stop being ridiculously overly-sensitive.

It’s just SAD

I don’t get this at all.

[...] course, folks are complaining about this cover too. Calling it offensive because the First Lady is more than a style icon. They [...]

Was Laura Bush ever portrayed as a clotheshorse? oh, wait a minute….LB had no STYLE. Hasn’t the New Yorker done enough by publishing the cover with the Obamas in costume? I reject all subtle/overt attempts at trivializing our President and First Lady. Don’t say “lighten up” when you are called out about something that is not funny. WE GET YOUR MESSAGE.
