A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
Be careful about basking in the first pound because if this much attention got paid to the first pound, just wait until the wee Michelles decide they want to take swimming lessons or something and they start rocking cornrows. Just wait until everything that they do that may somehow be “ethnic” gets cooed over and psychoanalyzed. The “First Pound” is cute and all right now, but is every single thing that the Obamas do that is “different” get dissected , it is going to get really old really fast.
