Political cartoon making fun of obama
The mainstream predominantly white media’s response has been to forget, ignore, and excuse these depictions. In the past, the President and the First Lady have been subjected to blatantly offensive depictions. Yet, there are always haters who resort to infantile stereotypes to demean her powerful image and positive reputation. Not only that, she has been the pinnacle of grace and beauty while on the presidential campaign and in the White House. Even though she is Princeton educated, and even though she went to Harvard Law School, all of this is still not enough for her to be respected by the media. Through comparing the First Lady and Melania Trump, the political cartoon asserts that the First Lady is not one who is worth having the position and the prestige of belonging in the White House. As President Obama’s second term in the White House comes to an end, we are left to reflect on mainstream media’s treatment of FLOTUS and what that means for young Black girls in America. While Melania was depicted as the epitome of femininity, the First Lady was depicted as a muscular brute, a thing to be feared and unwanted.
