Believe it or not, some proud Black women get through life and accomplish things without “smearing vaseline” on their face and kicking ass. Even if they can – Not unlike our First Lady.

Also, I would add Eleanor Roosevelt, Betty Ford (founder of the Berry Ford Center, one of the first public figures to discuss her breast cancer) and Nancy Reagan (not always likeable, but hardly helpless) to the non “helpless/sniveling” First Lady list.

As I said earlier, generally I'm with you – and I'm all for humor – but I am really over this ass-kicking “Superwoman” Amazonian stereotype for Black women.
