First Lady Called 'Ghetto Girl' by Martha Vineyard's Black Elite
The Daily Voice/New York Magazine ^ | week of June 29, 2009 | Joni L. Reynolds

The word is out that the Obamas will be spending part of their summer vacation in Martha's Vineyard. "Many blacks from Oak Bluffs are elated that the Only One-in-Chief may be joining them. "People are going to lose their minds!" Tonya Lewis Lee says.

At the same time, there's also a bit of wariness among the wealthiest ones, an uncertainty whether Obama will affirm them. "Obama is more a man of the people," says a Vineyarder who's part of black high society. "He doesn't seem to identify with affluent black people. His wife definitely doesn't; she is basically a ghetto girl."

"That's what she says--I'm just being sociological. She grew up in the same place Jennifer Hudson did. She hasn't reached out to the social community of Washington, and people are waiting to see what they'll do about that." (New Yorker Magazine)

To call a Harvard lawyer a "ghetto girl" is absolutely ludicrous.

The dynamics of black society is very difficult to understand. We are probably the only race that has prejudices against other members of our own race. This anonymous member of the black elite simply said was what is said among her group.

If Mrs. Obama were light-skinned with hazel eyes maybe she might be a little more tolerable, even though she was raised on the wrong side of the track.

I guess rich blacks think he sucks, too?

Those who’ve earned their wealth—probably most of them—have reason to give him a thumbs down.

Hussein’s hatred of freedom and liberty knows no racial, religious, economic or other boundaries.

Anyone who believes this is full of crap. Can I quote the Godfather? "I don't care how many dago, guinea, wop, greaseball, goombas come out of the woodwork." Yeah sure, no prejudices among whites for whites, right? Sure thing, my kraut, mick friend.

Elitist snobs come in all colors just the same as racists do.

This writer is an idiot. Ever heard of red-necks? (and I'm talking about the modern definition of red-necks) Ever heard of trailer-trash? And then there are the Mexicans who live around us. They have plenty of prejudices against other Mexicans. It's human nature.

Then, Joni L. Reynolds, dear, you don't know much about 'other' races!

If your hair isn’t straight as a ruler, and you’re darker than a brown paper bag, you’re not allowed into that society (rules for the women).

I have heard Italians use the term “greaseball” to describe people who are too Italiano/low rent. But the woman is correct in at least mentioning the demeaning beliefs that blacks have towards one another. Whiter looking black women are more highly sought after than jiggy looking blacks. Spike Lee even did a movie on it.

Oh, and if you are a REAL African, well.....let's just say the American blacks hold you in a ton of contempt.
