African American

And if they did, did most people coo over how "exotic" it is?

Or were they told it's nasty, nappy, and unkempt?

OR did they go through an expensive, painful once-every-other-month chemical process to make it look big and curly, because they were shamed by peers and family that their natural hair is too thin?

See, that's the difference here. That's why it's a big deal to some of us.

When you're told your natural "black" hair is lesser-than, all your life by EVERYONE (including people on your "side" supposedly) to the point where you begin to believe it, then you see the FIRST LADY is proud of hers.

I don't fault her for not wearing it that way when the Obamas were in the Whitehouse.

The avalanche of Assgoblins who call themselves the "alt-right" would pile on even more bullshit complaints about them, in the form of dog whistling (i.e. "Her arms are showing AND her hair is unkempt! Not FLOTUS material at all!!&quot

Still, it is an awesome picture for us, and YES it has meaning, especially now with the white nationalists becoming more brazen, and threatening to those of us who know we're hated.
