Michelle, Malia and Sasha represent the true side of Black America.

Black boys are "thugs" and black girls are a "spot at a bar". That is the running theme black children hear from the media over and over again.

Michelle, Malia and Sasha represent the true side of Black America. We are your President, doctors, lawyers, mechanics, teacher's and yes even the dreaded Wall Street Banker. We are not anomalies. We are the norm.

I think that there is this idea the Obama family (all of them) are this magical unicorn family that are paving the way for Black America. They aren't. We were always here. It's just finally now that we are being truly shown in America.

P.S. One final note. The controversy with the daughters has just begun unfortunately. College session is just around the corner for Malia. And that is going to bring out a world of racist feelings. I hope that it serves as another teaching opportunity not only for the right but ALSO for the left on the true meaning of Affirmative Action and how it is and ISN'T applied.

1. The bastardization of Detroit's black history is one of the most horrible twistings of history that

I've ever seen. Prosperous and equal until racist factory workers came up for Ford's assembly line.

2. there is no "true side" of black America anymore than there is "true side" of white America

or latino America or Asian American America.

there are many different aspects of all of the above.
