Since we have daughters --we understand support Michelle Obama on this one!
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 agree that we should support her and this is the first of many many stunts. It's going to be a difficult four or eight years for them. There are many working right there under their noses that want them to fail. Many of the news anchors don't give our new president the respect he deserves and they try to call him 'Mr.' instead of 'President'. However, they are both well read and well know what's going on. They will be able to fight the good fight. We can help them by boycotting the stupidity of others when they step out of line, but we can help them even more by staying in constant prayer because where two or more are gathered in HIS name, HE is there in the midst. Prayer is powerful as is the tongue itself. If we unite on one common ground, let's make it that.
