French Elle Praises FLOTUS for Being the First Black Woman to Dress Well

I can only hope that her faux pas is due to translation issues.

I remember Bush saying something about the French not understanding what it is to be an entrepreneur!

Black people work very hard to differentiate themselves from white people. In fact "acting white" is a sin within the black community. The french fashion writer, Nathalie Dolivo simply described what she sees. No foul here. This is what black people want.

The real foul is the simple fact that once again, talking about black people to black people is not allowed by black people. The republican politicians are learning this now as well.

Remember the COH please.

i guess that all the african american university educated professionals i know are anomalies! the problem with your post is that it is prejudiced by the media's narrow depiction of african americans. go to a church and see if so called "acting white" is a sin. go to a black chamber of commerce meeting or greeter and see if speaking "proper" (americanized) english is not the norm. go to a first fridays networking and socializing event. go on any college and university and talk to the african americans. go to the black colleges and universities.

talk to any one of the hundreds of thousands of african american greek letter organizations or the many other black organizations like jack and jill, the links or the other organizations.

you must get your information about african americans from "music" videos

your post is bs.

Well, I have no idea how black people dress in France so I can't comment on this aspect. However, my black friends are always dressed nicely even when they are wearing their "grubbies".

In no way do I mean anything derogatory about Michelle Obama, whom I admire and like very much! But Jackie Kennedy dressed well, too.

Was this a slam on African Americans, or Americans, in general? Gosh, I can't imagine! How rude!

So up til now black women in America have been dressing like bums? Sometimes some of the French can come off a little too snooty.

The caustic comments from everyone here are not unexpected. You prove my point. Blacks do not allow anyone to say anything about them. Good or bad. If a bad spin can be found, for some unknown reason, you will use it. The republicans are being schooled on this currently.

The truth is that Nathalie Dolivo did not say anything derogatory about Michelle Obama. She simply commented on her style. Don't attribute comments to her from the pinhead author from Wonkette. Those are Wonkette's nasty words (clearly looking for trouble) and not those of the French Elle writer.

Your uninformed comments:

such an uninformed statement

Was this a slam on African Americans, or Americans, in general?

Your post is pure nonsense.

And the worst thing of all from Kappa...

Perhaps his name says it all? :-)

LOL; yep!!! That should be his first name and his last should be: Against everything black. AWB.

Remember the COH please.

I only use the COH phrase when the seeder does.

Since the article in question was taken down by Elle, I would think that even they felt it to inappropriate...

I don't agree. They are simply responding to criticism from this country. The French don't see a problem. Remember this line in the article?

I’m sure that even educated French people wouldn’t see any offense in this.”

I'm going to give you Im4Me-name-callers another opportunity to make your point. If there is no response from you, I will take that as complete and total capitulation to me.

So once again, show the offensive quote about Ms. Obama. As the seeder, how about you first Easy?

Final result: There are no offensive quotes by the French Elle writer.

Final result: We wrote you off as a troll.
