Support the First Lady--She is against her daughter's image as dolls! (1053 hits)
Subject: FW: Support Our First Lady
I'm sure you have all heard about the dolls that have been named Marvelous Malia and Sweet Sasha, and that Michelle Obama is not pleased. I agree with her. The doll company had no right to use the names of her daughters, and then lie about it and allege that the names had nothing to do with her daughters. I'm sure this is only the beginning of stunts that are going to be pulled, to get under her skin.
Since she is the First Lady, First Mother, and she looks like us...we should be supportive of her. Please do not buy any of the dolls made by this company, and advise all of your fiiends that the Ty Girlz Collection of the Beanie Babies Company has disrespected the "first daughters", and chooses to ignore Michelle Obamas request that they take the dolls off the market.
We have been given an opportunity to show the world that Black Women can stand together and be supportive of each other. An insult to Michelle or her children, is an insult to us ALL! We supported Barack , now let's rally around "the love of his life" for the next eight years. She is out there charting unfamiliar territory and can use our support. She went into the White House through the front door, without a rag on her head, or a broom in her hand. She is not there to entertain anyone....she lives there. Let Beanie Babies, and anyone else who decides to mess with our First Lady, know that Michelle Obama has a sisterhood that has her back.
I don't blame the sister, she's proven herself to be a beautiful wife and mother and proud of it. Michelle, Barack, and their daughters are redefining what a Black family is. We didn't see or hear of Black families sticking together like this since Claire and Cliff Huxtable came out with The Cosby Show. But that's television; this is reality!!!
