BLACK JOURNALIST PUBLISHES AN OUTLANDISH ARTICLE IN NEW YORK MAGAZINE … SAYS 'MICHELLE OBAMA IS A GHETTO GIRL'!!!


 







June 23, 2009. MediaTakeOut.com just got wind of an article published in the very QUESTIONABLE New York Magazine about the “upper class” black culture in Martha’s Vineyard.

According to the article’s author, many of the bourgeois Blacks in Martha’s Vineyard are upset that Barack and Michelle Obama are coming to the island. Apparently they have “too much class” to share their little island with the most powerful and influential couple ON THE PLANET.

But what’s more upsetting about the silly article, published by journalist Toure, is that he put a very RECKLESS quote in it – with one black woman calling Michelle ‘ghetto.’ Here is the exact quote:
“Obama is more a man of the people,” says a Vineyarder who’s part of black high society. “He doesn’t seem to identify with affluent black people. His wife definitely doesn’t; she is basically a ghetto girl. That’s what she says—I’m just being sociological. She grew up in the same place Jennifer Hudson did. She hasn’t reached out to the social community of Washington, and people are waiting to see what they’ll do about that.”

Toure should be ashamed for allowing that quote about our first lady to be published in an article … just ASHAMED!!! Whatever respect for dude that we ever had is officially GONE!!

    ONLY GHETTO NEGROES BELIEVE THAT MICHELLE OBAMA, THE CHIMP ZIRA IS POSH. OF COURSE, SHE'S GHETTO. SHE'S FROM THE SOUTHSIDE OF CHICAGO. SHE'S TACKY TOO. THE WHITE HOUSE IS INFESTED WITH FLIES. SHE NEEDS BRACES AND SHE SHOULD COMB HER CHILDREN'S HAIR EVEYDAY. IT'S SAD THAT THOSE GIRLS LOOK LIKE WELFARE CHILDREN. IN FACT, THE BOUGIES DON'T LOOK LIKE MICHELLE OBAMA and OUR CHILDREN ARE ALWAYS STYLISH.

    my_temple
    You cant blame Toure for just reporting if indeed this quote did come from an actual person. To imply that he should not have included this quote is reporter's bias at its best and censorship at its worse. This is one (or perhaps many peoples) opinion of the First Lady. Being ghetto,acting ghetto and being FROM the ghetto are all different things. I dont think anyone in their right mind can argue that Michelle is "ghetto" as we understand this to mean. But by her own admission, she is FROM the ghetto which as she herself points out is not a bad thing. She exudes class, beauty and grace...

    I disagree MTO. I think Toure did a service to Black Americans to show the elitism that some black people feel when they get a little bit of dough. These blacks out there feel they are better than other blacks, even the first lady, and had dissimulated any form of black culture from their lives. Otherwise this comment wouldn't have left her lips, "She hasn’t reached out to the social community of Washington" shows this particular black feel the first lady should humble herself before the elitist blacks. They are expecting the Field Negro to come and kiss the ass of the House Negro.

    @malletdiva02-

    I always thought people like this are so silly. And I know some of them. The funny thing is, while they are pretending to be so much better than "ghetto" Blacks, the White folk on the Vineyard still make sure that the Black folk stay away from them. So, the people that he interviewed for this aren't even mingling with the White folks at Martha's Vineyard. . .they are basically segregated. Sad.
     

    brownchicksrule
    Slap the journalist for me MTO. She does NOT have to reach out to the Black socialist of Washington. She IS the Black elite in Washington. Some highly educated Blacks simply don't feel the need to be extra. My dad has his Ph.D. in statistics and brings in over $500,000 annually but he acts like everyone else. He does not have to "prove" anything. Statistically speaking 92% of highly education Blackd come from working class families. Stop hating on Michelle, we know she's the bomb and the media can't say anything to take that away from her.

    Who can Toure talk about? He has no class himself cause he does things for one of the most low class t.v. station's BET!!! I tell you, these little rich people think they are accepted into white America cause they live in Martha's Vineyard. They are delusional. I bet when they walk outside their house n the white people don't speak to them they say oh Mr. Fritzgerld didn't see me waving. When they go to a resturant, they place them in the back, they say old it's too crowded in the front. When d white people yell at them in traffic, You F'ing N*gga. They say oh he You got it, go figure!

    First, Toure needs to take a seat and be quiet. Yes, this is the same Toure who has his azz on BET for the BET Awards and the Black Carpet acting as ghetto as they come. Even though the quote didn't come from his lips... he should not have put it in the article.

    Second, and most importantly... it's not where you come from, it's where you end up! Michelle and Barack are residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave and making it rain on all those jealous sadiddy azz Uncle Tom Black folk of Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard. If you'd ask me... I'd take South Side Michelle over Clarence Thomas anyday!

    1st Toure has to be objective. Its his job, not his words. He did the right thing by getting the man's TRUE OPINION, rather than sugarcoat.

    it's just an opinion, which we all have a right to

    and truthfully, i believe Michelle is a CLASSY woman, but will CUT A BITCH IN HALF if you cross her LOL it's all in her face!!

    GHETTO may have been a poor choice of words, but be serious yall. NO amount of money or position is gonna CHANGE who you truly are. they are from SOUTHSIDE!! LOL

    Since when does speaking your opinion and not kissing these two asses mean you should be ashamed of yourself? So JUST BECAUSE they are "black" and he is President we shouldn't say ANYTHING negative about them? That's the definition of SHEEPLE!

    Toure included the quote in the article because he probably wanted other people to read how the black high society feel about the Obama's. So he shouldn't be ridiculed for that MTO. I understand why he did it. Not all black people feel the same way about Obama. There is a "Caste System" in this world that is not only with caucasian people. It's with black people too. And Toure wanted it to be seen...

    So SMH at MTO for getting on Toure for that article. He merely quoted what was told to him...

    ExcuseMe
    I'll state the obvious since no one else will...

    The black bourgeoisie typically are light-skinned Blacks who feel they are superior to dark-skinned Blacks. They reap the privileges of White racism because of their lighter skin color; and, at the same time, they benefit from their "Black" label through such policies such as affirmative action. This is why there needs to be a separate category for these people. The one drop rule is a hindrance to the progress of Black people because it falsely groups American Blacks as a homogeneous racial group when that is not the case.

    So their labeling of Michelle Obama as "ghetto" is no surprise. Michelle Obama is dark-skinned and Whitey's light-skinned pawns are just perturbed (pissed the f.u.c.k. off) that this time they're not a Black 'first' as they historically have been... and this time, it's not something people will forget or something trivial, but something that will shape the White man's impression of Blacks for generations to come. THAT is why they're heated... Whitey won't think of a light-skinned Black women when they think of who an intelligent, well-educated, charismatic, cultured and metropolitan Black man marries. Because let's be real, Barack Obama is the only worthwhile Black man to most of them today... so he MUST know what a worthwhile Black woman is and looks like (that's how people think). This is how the upper elite base their value judgments on people's appearances.

    WHAT'S FUNNY IS THAT WHITE PEOPLE STILL LOOK @ THOSE "HIGH SOCIETY" BLACK PEOPLE AS "GHETTO". LIKE CHRIS ROCK SAID, THE BEST OF THE BEST (JAYZ, MJB, EDDIE MURPHY) LIVE IN HIS NEIGHBORHOOD BUT THEY RESIDE RIGHT NEXT TO A REGULAR "PULL YOUR TOOTH OUT" DENTIST!!! SH!T DON'T CHANGE!

    .@caramelphatty.....Interesting post!..True!
    .
    .
    Toure included the quote in the article because he probably wanted other people to read how the black high society feel about the Obama's. So he shouldn't be ridiculed for that MTO. I understand why he did it. Not all black people feel the same way about Obama. There is a "Caste System" in this world that is not only with caucasian people. It's with black people too. And Toure wanted it to be seen...

    So SMH at MTO for getting on Toure for that article. He merely quoted what was told to him...

    ExcuseMe
    @ the blondeatlantagirl

    JayZ, MJB, and Eddie Murphy are wealthy but the Black bourgeoisie still look down on them as well, for obvious reasons. All they have is money... not education, class and culture. So if they believe Michelle is ghetto, then you know they must think that the aforementioned entertainers are even lower on the totem pole.

    I dont like Toure any way with his [EXPLETIVE] ass. He was on BET talking [EXPLETIVE] about other famous blacks. Black people we need to stop tearing each other down. Get the hating out of your system or you will never be anything and wont go anywhere with your life like Toure. He is a mediocor journalist.

    Kumbayaaaa "We are all Black"... "We are all one"

    Stop being delusional!

    If we are all Black, then why are Black Hispanics not Black like us (in their minds)? We aren't all Black and that lie (the one drop rule) needs to be obliterated.

    Skin color separates us... all 'Blacks' are not Black like me, sorry. It's just a false racist label used by Whitey to support and perpetuate their racist ideology -- that anyone with a smidgen of n.i.g.g.e.r. in them is tainted, thus not worthy of being included in the White race. Just as a White person cannot understand my experiences, mixed race Blacks (whether it be multi-generational mixed or first-generational mixed) are no different. They reap the benefits of White racism... some will admit such... and others will think their success is because of their natural superiority over dark-skinned Blacks. Being blind to innate privileges isn't the sole ownership of Whites. The disparity that lies between Whites and Blacks can also be measured between light-skinned and dark-skinned 'Blacks.' Things are not equal, not just across races but within 'races.'

    This is to ExcuseMe..I feel what you have written..and some parts I agree! Things are not equal within races, and because we continue to be that way, it will never be! And I happen to be a Black Hispanic! (Puertorican) And I have experienced the same kind of racism as a Black person has! And every day I live my life, uplifting my culture, embracing my African and Indian side. Yes Black Hispanics don't want to believe that they are black, but I am not one of them. And all that justifying doesn't help. And like I said, light or dark, good hair or bad hair, we are still black to whitey!

SHE NEEDS BRACES AND SHE SHOULD COMB HER CHILDREN'S HAIR EVEYDAY. IT'S SAD THAT THOSE GIRLS LOOK LIKE WELFARE CHILDREN. IN FACT, THE BOUGIES DON'T LOOK LIKE MICHELLE OBAMA and OUR CHILDREN ARE ALWAYS STYLISH."

    Is that your biggest claim to your self-proclaimed 'greatness'? That your children are always "stylish"? Stylish... but tragically dumb, such as yourself? You are no better than, and echo the same mentality of, a regular n.i.g.g.a. from the street -- more worried about material possessions & trivial physical characteristics than anything of substance. So what makes you different or 'better' than those "ghetto" people you look down upon? Reality check darling, you all are most definitely THE SAME!

    It’s not surprising the Obamas have not “reached out” to the “black elite”. The Obamas are very intelligent, integritous and humble people, with impeccable character. Most significantly, they’re Christians that understand the importance of not “looking down on”, or “turning their noses up” at people. Hence, the fact they don’t give much credence to the arrogance and/or ignorance of the “black elite” is expected and fitting.

    There is a book that chronicles the African American “elite”, entitled Our Kind of People: Inside America’s Black Upper Class by Lawrence Otis Graham. To be cont’d…

    "Actually Hillary Clinton was the most educated and accomplished First Lady ever not ugly Michelle. The Obamas on vacation again. What a surprise!"


    Hillary Clinton - Educational Background:

    Wellesley College (Poli Sci major)
    Yale Law School

    Michelle Obama - Educational Background:

    Princeton University (Sociology major)
    Harvard Law School

    So I ask you, how is Hillary Clinton "the most educated First Lady"?

    As far as most accomplished... Hillary is a little more than 16 yrs older than Michelle. Not only that, Michelle has to overcome her race when Hillary does not. Give Michelle time instead of tearing her down before she even has gotten a good foot in the door!

    Although the featured families and/or individuals in “Our Kind of People” view themselves as the “successful” element of the race, their lack of moral and ethical values, beliefs and substance are very clear and unfortunate. Their exclusivity and nastiness are traits many truly Christian (These same people that act this way towards the “least of their brethren” are avid churchgoers, primarily of the Episcopalian denomination, that is!) and educated African Americans strive hard to avoid and not share with our own children. To be cont’d…
     

    teefierce
    The “black elite” view uneducated and/or not as “privileged” African Americans as an embarrassment and ignorant, however, they’re one of the segments of the community which we are most ashamed. It is clear they don’t realize just how silly and undesirable they are. Majority of them are probably very unhappy, despite their “success”. When worldly values and separatism, not Godly love, are emphasized, destruction, disorder and disarray are inevitably the governing standards. Ultimately, I really feel sorry for the “black elite”. I pray God delivers them from their ignorance. To be cont’d…
     

    teefierce
    As for the Obamas, if they choose to interact with the “black elite”, maybe, it will be in an effort to expose these people to virtue and character, since the Obamas are the quintessential example of CLASS.

    Personally, I can't think of how a person would be ghetto just because they're from the south side of Chicago and they haven't reached out to there city? That doesn't qualify her in any form as being a "ghetto girl". H*ll, I live in what many would consider "the hood" and I can bet everyone on here that nobody thinks that about me when I go somewhere (unless they have not heard me speak). Why is it that black people keep coming at the Obama's? They are the ideal couple! Another thing, it upsets me to know that this is coming from another BLACK WOMAN! Seriously!

Hillary was around Michelle's age by the time Bill become POTUS, and by then, she had a much longer resume, made partner at her law firm, got a Presidentially appointed position in the Carter administration (before Bill was governor), worked on the Nixon impeachment proceedings, etc. Michelle, well, not so much. I know Hillary made law review at Yale. Did Michelle at Harvard? Hillary probably would've gone to Princeton, had they been admitting women at the time, but Princeton didn't admit women until 1969 (I think). By then, Hillary was graduating #1 at Wellesley, which back then, was the best college a women could attend. There isn't a doubt in my mind that Hillary would have been just as successful at Princeton had she attended. When you think about it, Obama's social secretary, what's her name, Desiree, has accomplished more than Michelle, and she's black. The same could be said for hordes of black women with Michelle's degrees. So it's not always about race. Yes, white privilege has aided Hillary in getting where she is today, but at the same time, the reason why Michelle hasn't accomplished as much and probably will never accomplish as much as Hillary may just be because Michelle isn't as ambitious or clever. And there's nothing wrong with that.

    Okay, let me get this straight... the Obamas are being attacked now because they're NOT snobby??

    They just can't win.

    First of all BEING ghetto and being BORN IN THE GHETTO are two completely different things. Just because you are born somewhere doesn't mean you have to act like the people around you. I can't see Michelle smacking her gum, talking loud, phuckin at ten, jumpin on girls and then making a wonderful transformation into the elegant classy ivy league grad that she is - let alone being the first lady...blacks uppity and ignorant never cease to amaze me...smh we'll never get anywhere

    Michelle did not run for the position that her husband ran for so it's okay that she has not done all ot the things that Bill's wife has. They may have just had different goals. She seems to have done enough to hold her own but also is very involved with things that matter to her heart. There is no blue print for a president's wife.

    Don't kill the messenger. Toure was simply doing his job as a reporter.

    My goodness, this is not the first negative quote that we have heard about Michelle Obama. In fact, there have been journalist who directly attacked the first lady.

    It appears he was interviewing residents of Martha's Vineyard to get their take on the President's visit to the island. A good journalist presents different perspectives on an issue which in no way means he agrees with them.

    I wouldn't describe Toure as a black journalist. He's more like an TV personality. He doesn't have any credentials as a journalist. He is and always has been a coon. He's also a sell-out - married a white woman a few years ago. And New York magazine has always been incredibly racist.

    @ da great one

    Um . . . that downtown Little Rock firm was the, whiteshoe, Rose Law Firm. What part of Hillary was getting Presidentially appointed positions and served on the Watergate committee before Bill was ever elected Governor, didn't you get, or did Bill somehow have a hand in that too? Get it right. Hillary joined the Rose Firm before Bill was elected governor, and of course she got the job after she married Bill. Why the hell else would she have even been in Arkansas had she not been married to Bill. The only thing that would have kept Hillary out of the firm was an extra X chromosome, not because she wasn't qualified. Regardless of whether or not Bill's being elected governor had something to do with Hill being made partner, Hillary was probably the only partner at Rose that could boast her credentials (Watergate/ Carter Administration Legal Defense Fund head, etc.), and she was a woman. Her initial political connections came about because of her own design. She put herself on the political map with her valedictory speech at Wellesley. In theory, Michelle would have had a network similar to Hillary's given where they went to school, but Michelle utilized it differently.

    Yeah, I love how my comparisons are apples and oranges when you don't have answers to my questions. Now, I think Michelle dresses way better than Hillary, and Michelle has been very successful, but, I'd love to know what criteria you're using to determine who's brighter and more ambitious. I was using silly things like resumes, class rank, editing law review, career milestones. You know, stupid stuff like that.

    Excuse me...
    What are you trying to prove?I'm sorry but just because someone goes to Harvard doesn't make them more educated or accomplished than anyone else. There are other great schools out there that may not be as "prestigious or expensive". Michelle never did anything with her law degree. Hillary Clinton DID! And she was around Michelle's age when Clinton was elected. Also Hillary is so badazz that she ran for President and forced Obama to make her the Secretary of State.

    Hillary Clinton is clearly more accomplished than Michelle the gardener. I respect Hillary way more.

    BTW, Hillary Clinton is much more accomplished than Barack Obama. Who really has very little political experience and NO Executive experience. Clinton would have fixed the economy by now. Obama has made it a more of a mess. I swear that idiot has no idea what he's doing. I loathe the Obama administration and I'm sick of fake ass fashion model Michelle.

    I agree with the folks in the Hamptoms. All the Obamas do is use skin color to get over. NOT IMPRESSED!

    It is so funny that have read some of the misguided crap that I see. That it not even funny. Look Toure' is so 2004 after Rolling Stone fired his azz. Now this very good. He can't get on BET or TV One. I could care less what he is such a waste of time. Really not worth responding.

    Toure' was just on the warren ballentine show explaining his article it was from somebody who said that she was ghetto, he wasn't him he was just reporting what was said through thirty interviews to this article. So I was wrong. I know how many people would say that on website like this when some of you are so right. Rightfully misguided. All saying that give this man some slack here. However as journalist I still believe that he is overrated.

    Even with Hillary Clinton's "prestige" and "accomplishments", she did not receive the Democratic nomination, and is therefore, not the 44th President of the United States.

    And, even Hillary Clinton would not be as naive to say she would have "fixed" the economy or solved any of the other crises facing our society today in such a short amount of time.
     

    teefierce
    President Obama has not only shown intellectual savvy and superb strategy in this short amount of time, he's, most signicantly, shown us he's a brilliant multi-tasker: He's already demonstrated commendable progress by taking proactive and affirmative actions, both domestically and internationally, while at the same time cleaning up and countering the previous administration's eight years of damage and destruction.
     

    teefierce
    Most impressively, President Obama is leading the free world, while still focusing on the well-being of his family and those of others.

    So, for all of those persons still refusing to accept that President Obama is INDEED just that-PRESIDENT-"face the music", be patriotic, and personally work to make this country and world a better place for everyone.

    It's time to "get unstuck", and stop focusing on what could have, should have and would have been, because IT'S NOT, and apparently, majority of the country didn't/don't agree w/ you. Get on the winning team!
     

    teefierce
    With all due respect to Hillary Clinton, with all of her credentials, experience and connections, allegedly over President Obama, that is, doesn't that appear to make her loss to him even greater and more devastating? Hmm...Food for thought...

    Well, at least he did ALLOW her to be a part of his Cabinet. What a team player!

Now, I was hated on because my family supposedly 'had money'. I'm just happy that I was never taught to look down at someone because they don't have what I have. I'm glad my parent's taught me to have character.

    @ExcuseMe - I reread your posts for a quick energy boost. I applaud you for challenging the self-hatred and self-destruction in black Americans. Given that anonymity allows us to express our TRUE feelings, it is abundantly clear that if we want to see our children survive and exist as themselves, we need to separate and form a group that caters to the beauty and aesthetic needs of the truly black, the truly African people and excludes and devalues WHITE SUPREMACIST standards and practices.

    That's exactly what little black children need, REALISTICALLY..so that the Holocaust of Breeding Out that is killing my people can cease.

    Of course, those Light/mixed folks who benefit from White Supremacy and are placed above the "darkie folks" are not too enthused.

    ExcuseMe...we've always kicked out and disallowed the BLACKEST folks because they were "too black, too authentic" to represent the race.

    Don't you remember?

    Why, it's been for 500 years.

    Halle Berry and Lena Horne are flaunted on magazines as "THE BLACK WOMAN"----but rarely a real one--unless she's (a) OLD and Mammyish or (b) a dutiful young girl.

    However, the CUSHITIC standard has always maintained that the darkest charcoal with the "Proof" (the nappy hair) is the highest among us and the most authentic---as in the image of the mother of our race.

    I am going by the African MAN'S standard---not the White Slave Master's standard that so many blacks keep behaving as though is written and sent by God.

    I believe in the unity of BLACK people...and this includes Black people in other parts of the world. That's not to say EVERY Black person because you know as I do that there are race traitors all over this globe. However, it would be foolish to over generalize and throw away an opportunity to forge GENUINE alliances with other Blacks who may have something to offer. We must remember that African Americans (U.S.) do not by far make up the mass of the Black world population...we NEED the strength of other Black populations as they need us.

    In general, it's not the fault of other Black people that African Americans experience such a hard time unifying---that's OUR fault because it was US who pushed so hard for integration and allowed non-Blacks to come in and take over our communities--including dismantling thriving businesses and schools.

    Black folks are STILL allowing that schitt to happen and can't figure out for damn life why Black youth are so freakin' rebellious and so openly, non-problematically self-hating.

    Like it or not, we don't have our own languages here---those were taken away from us, remember? Ebonics, in my opinion, doesn't count because the oppressor can still understand you. If there are more African (read that BLACK) people coming into the country, I say our numbers are increasing, and we need to take advantage of that and forge alliances where possible. Remember...these are people who watch us too.

    Whether you like it or not, as long as your blood is BLACK, you are automatically related to African people. You really have no choice in the matter----all Black people are related.
