Must not mention differences between black and white dress

We read:
"French Elle magazine has apologised for an article posted on its website which suggested that a black American elite, inspired by the Obamas, was finally embracing ‘white’ fashion.

Fashion blogger Nathalie Dolivo claims in the piece that the Obamas are the catalyst for a ‘black fashion renaissance’ and suggests America’s first black president has given the black community a ‘chic’ option other than ‘streetwear codes’.

'In 2012, the 'black-geoisie' has integrated all the white codes ... but with a twist, bourgeois with an ethnic reference that recalls their roots,' she argued.

Elle editor Valerie Toranian published an online apology, saying the magazine was ‘deeply sorry’ to have caused offence.

Don't kid yourself. If the Marxist-in-Chief were a real black American, (he's not. He's a half-black Muslim) He too would be wearing his pants down around his knees. And his racist, fat-assed wife would be wearing ghetto clothes also. But, since they have all that "White money" (see: tax payer money) to play with, they can now have their clothes specifically designed for them by leading designers.

Ask yourself this question; How often did they dress that way (before) going to the WH?

God forbid we should make an observation about taboo subjects! Blacks are often criticized by other blacks for not being "black enough" or "trying to be white" when they dress in fine clothes or speak in an educated manner. If the article is true, I would be happy that the Obamas had finally done something constructive for the US.

which just shows how stupid Elle is.
To think Mrs. Obama has any style at all, let alone style in line with High Fashion, is completely ridiculous.

Black style can seem "loud" to others and I see Mrs Obama's style that way but -- as the Romans used to say: De gustibus non disputandum est
