I don't like being picked on because of appearances, and therefore don't want to do that to someone else, but if someone is going to talk shit about black/white issues, I have to ask, did you notice the straight hair? How does Michelle Obama have straight hair? Is it from hair-styling techniques, or genetics? Why am I focusing upon this? Because regardless of whether the hair is straight from styling techniques or genetics, you can't really bitch about black/white racial matters when you are black and your hair is straight, can you? Without looking like an idiot?
If you style your hair to look like you don't have an afro, isn't that basically saying you want to look like you don't have an afro? You want to look non-black? You want to look white?
If you were born with genetics that gave you straight hair, doesn't that mean you have non-black genetics somewhere in your family tree?
Either way, after that fact has been established, what is the point of talking shit about black/white issues? Just let it go, and be who you are..
Of course, wanting to look more white, to give you the feeling of being accepted, is contradictory to what you were born with. The anger inside motivates the bitching. The hoops you jump through become exhausting. It is understandable to be angry and emotional at not being accepted for how you were born, yet you are married to the president of the corporate United States, which serves as evidence, that you have achieved levels of corruption that surpass most whites. When is enough, enough? What does it take to make you feel accepted? What does it take to break the programming?

Did slaves build the White House? - White House Historical Association
Construction on the President's House began in 1792 in Washington, D.C., a new capital situated in sparsely settled region far from a major population center. The decision to place the capital on land ceded by two slave states-Virginia and Maryland-ultimately influenced the acquisition of laborers to construct its public buildings. The D.C. commissioners, charged by Congress with building the new city under the direction of the president, initially planned to import workers from Europe to meet their labor needs. However, response to recruitment was dismal and soon they turned to African American—enslaved and free—to provide the bulk of labor that built the White House, the United States Capitol, and other early government buildings.
Stonemason Collen Williamson trained enslaved people on the spot at the government's quarry at Aquia, Virginia. Enslaved people quarried and cut the rough stone that was later dressed and laid by Scottish masons to erect the walls of the President's House. The slaves joined a work force that included local white laborers and artisans from Maryland and Virginia, as well as immigrants from Ireland, Scotland, and other European nations.

James Hoban Slave Payroll
The payroll to slaveowners shows that the government did not own slaves, but that it did hire them from their masters. Slave carpenters Ben, Daniel, and Peter were noted as owned by James Hoban.
