So I've always been more on the square side than the hip side. But when I saw this article Now Playing In the White House Bedroom:Hot Monogamy, I knew what I was feeling had nothing to do with being square or unhip. As a black woman in America, I'm always aware of how we are perceived in society at large. If we are smart, successful and ambitous, then are are the exception, not the norm. Our beauty isn't warmly embraced by media, and if it is, there is always a comparison to some mainstream beauty. So imagine my delight when M.ichelle O.bama stepped into her role as First Lady. The world's perceptions about black women have to change....or do they?
I understand what the author of this article was trying to say: that the O.bama's marriage and obvious love for each other is making those who second-guess marriage and fidelity take a second look. Monogamy is good and it can be very, very sexy. But some of his remarks could have been re-worded--especially when speaking about the spouse of our nation's leader. Talk about marriage and monogamy--cool. Bringing their sex life into it? Hmm.....
And to me, he started off on the wrong foot by opening the article: "I'm guessing the sex is so hot when the O.bamas are done, the B.idens light a cigarette. For the first time in years, the White House bedroom is going to see more action than Clinton's Oval Office. Baby got back and it brought monogamy with it. Ba.rack and M.ichelle are doing for fidelity what Clinton did with infidelity -- make us cover our eyes and peek through our fingers."
Big ups for him touting the First Couple's strong marital ties and intimacy, but I'm thinking we didn't need to wander into their bedroom. What are your thoughts?
