Not Your “Trophy” First Lady??

Last month I posted a video about Michelle Obama and we’ve all seen the circulating picture that culminates black love and speaks a thousand words. Michelle Obama is a great woman, a role model, and the most supportive wife I think any minority presidential candidate could have. Barack is the lucky one. So why is [...]

A YBP Facebook Debate: Barack vs. Hillary pt. 1

(Reprinted and edited with the permission of Tahani Tompkins)
Tahani: What should I make of the whole “present” voting thing? Also why does Barack keep saying he didn’t vote for the war? It’s true that in 2002 he wasn’t in a position to vote for or against the war, right? Lastly, where can i go to [...]
