Where do I even begin with this image? It seems there are an infinite of images and racial slurs when it comes to African Americans. It's hard to for me to see an image like in an age like 2014 when, at times, it feels like we have triumphed over so much and yet we're so ok with having images like this roam around the internet. There is a constant linger of racism, subliminal, in the media whether it be music, T.V., or movies. No matter where you turn there still are remnants of racism of African Americans in everyday life.
This image humiliates the first lady as woman, as a black woman, and overall as a human being. This suggestion of her being primitive and being backwards even after all her achievements. She is a successful woman being the first lady and making changes in this country and that all fly's out the window with this image. All respect is out the window and she is devalued as human being. Not only humiliating her as an African American but also as a woman. All roots tying back to the idea in Kindred where woman loose sense of being a being by not mattering as a slave and then a woman.
