Michelle Obama Gets Brutally Mocked for Wacky Remark: ‘White People, When We Straighten Our Curly Hair to Follow Your Beauty Standards, We’re Trapped…That’s Why So Many of Us Can’t Swim…It’s Exhausting’ (VIDEO)

Michelle Obama sent the Internet into hysterics on Friday night with an incredibly bizarre racial rant during an interview.

As AOL reported, Barack’s wife sat down with actress Tracee Ellis Ross last week for a softball discussion about her new book “The Look.” They talked about Michelle’s fashion choices and the scrutiny she has received over the years for them.

At one point during the interview, Michelle went on a bizarre rant about how black people have to keep their ‘naturally curly’ hair straight for white people.

She then bemoaned how trying to follow white women’s beauty standards makes it so difficult for black people to swim and go to the gym before asking for a law to get white folks out of their hair.

Yes, she really said all of this.

OBAMA: Let me explain something to white people. Our hair comes out of our head naturally in a curly pattern.

When we straighten it to follow your beauty standards, we are trapped by the straightness. That’s why so many of us can’t swim; that’s why we run away from the water.

People won’t go to the gym because we’re trying to keep our hair straight for y’all.

“It’s exhausting, it is expensive, and takes up so much time…Why do we need an act of law to tell White folks to get out of our hair?

Obama got savaged on X after making her remark, with some pointing out that she had her hair straightened.

Ok white women, explain to black Michelle Obama about all the pain, sorrow, exhaustion, and expense you have to go through to curl your straight hair. Lol

Note to Michelle: White women straighten and curl our hair, too. Precisely zero white women have told her she has to straighten her hair.

Is her hair straightened, or am I trapped by the straightness?

Michelle – Why do you wear your hair like a white person??

Did she just admit to stealing white people culture while all these black liberals are out there complaining about white women wearing braids?

She just set that argument back about a decade…

NO ONE has been more victimized by America than poor Mrs Obama. How can we ever atone for the wrongs we have inflicted on her?
