And we're live. Welcome down to Polygletic. Today we're going to be talking about Michelle Obama and this new idea of a racism that black woman can face in America.

Are you excited about it? I'm excited about it. I can't wait to hear about my oppression. Let's get into it.

Young Apollo with the Belly!

Alright guys and welcome back to on Apollo Jeticappy Friday. Drop in the comments down below. What are you doing this weekend? What's you going to be up to?

I guess Michelle Obama might be getting her hair done.

Now that she can step into a new phase in life we're going to talk about that and why her hair pertains to this particular subject matter. Plus, Disney's putting out a new show called Strange World or a new movie that features a gay couple. Interesting. Elon is coming in hot on Twitter and has reinstated Jordan Peterson Babylon be Kathy Griffin and more and has had some feedback about what he's going to be doing with the app. Plus we're going to be going on red. It's unpopular opinions first. Let's talk about Michelle Obama.

Here's out of the New York Post. The headline says Michelle Obama Americans quote weren't ready and quote for my natural hair and there's a picture of her with braids done. I can't wait to hear about this oppression and it's one I want to call it new but it is one that I've heard of before that black women in particular are discriminated against for wearing their natural hair which in that case I must be in the lions down right now because I'm sitting in the Prager U office with my natural black hair hosting a podcast.

How many hate comments did you get walking into the studio today for your hair.

You know I wanted to cry I didn't cry I made it through the day I'm still working but it's an oppression that I have to face all the time so much so that every time I change my hairstyle you guys comment about like how cute it is and how wonderful it is in the YouTube comments so stop pressing me stop talking about my hair and stop treating me as some sort of museum artifact.

Gosh you guys discussed me.

But let's watch it let's hear this broken down because I can think I will think there's an argument to be made if we can find evidence that shows that black women are being discriminated against for their hair I'm sure it has happened on an individual level I've heard of like little black kids getting turned away from school because they have dreadlocks and they have a certain code for how short your hair has to be and what style it should be in and on its face I think that's wrong however is a systemic issue that we're dealing with in America I don't know if I'm going to be able to do that.

I don't know but let's check what CNN has to say about this in particular former first lady Michelle Obama revealing that she considered wearing her natural hair and braids during her time at the White House but decided that Americans weren't ready for her natural black hair.

It's a beautiful one for her slating.

It would be easier.

Nope nope they're not ready.

The former first lady says that she kept her hair straight so her husband's administration could focus on other issues and not her hair.

Obama's were very cognizant how much attention.

So they could focus on other issues not their hair.

We're not worried about gas prices, foreign affairs, the state of our institutions and systems.

The crashing economy at the time that housing bubble.

Let's talk about Michelle Obama's relaxed hair.

Now I get it you have your TMZ type people and your entertainment news tonight that love to talk about what the first lady's wearing, what she looks like, how her makeup's done, all these different things.
