Michelle Obama chose an artist named Amy Sherald to paint her official portrait.
The New York Times writes of Sherald:
Ms. Sherald only paints African-Americans.
I can’t wait for all the social justice warriors who want the government to force bakers to bake cakes for gay weddings, to use the exact same logic to try to get the government to force Sherald to paint portraits of white customers.
Just kidding. We all know those hypocrites are never going to do that.
Of course she did.
GMTA
Should get a white woman to commission her for a portrait while holding the severed head of a black woman.
Why am I NOT SURPRISED?.....................
Reverend Jeremiah Wright would be proud of her, as he always has been. She and Barry O are two of his finest and obviously most successful disciples.
Is she using manure on the virgin michael?
Barack’s turned out a lot better even though it looks like he is being eaten by the background greenery.
I did a Google search and an artist named Wayne Pascall captured a much better likeness (that doesn’t look like odd bits stuck together).
Such an example to all women of color. Such an empowering image. How our country has gone this long without it is a mystery.
I'd use the government to force her to paint a portrait with the races reversed.
How can a person live when every day, every decision is made based upon the color of their race, their hatred towards whites and what they perceive as social injustice. What a miserable existence. They just can not get beyond their skin color, not even this angry woman who served as FLOTUS.
It takes one to paint one.
America hating wookie bitch.
Always was, always will be.
It’s really too bad.
I think she is pretty and don’t care what any of you think.
However, this goes beyond the pale and that is the problem.
They painted Michael Jackson....
Re: Title Does this really surprise anyone?
That Wayne Pascall portrait is outstanding. It’s an excellent likeness and is really flattering to Michelle O. That silly “official portrait” looks nothing like her and will be the butt of many jokes.
I think Michelle’s came out really nice. But her husband’s is horrid. It’s those leaves. It’s like he’s a hobbit in the Shire. And why in a chair? It’s just odd. I wouldn’t be happy with that.
You’ve nailed it.
A gay white couple needs to insist that she paint their wedding portrait!
Mooshelle got what she deserved, and I think her comments reflect her shock. What they should do is put these in the African American museum or Obama’s hideous library when it’s built, and get some professional portraits for the Smithsonian. Can you IMAGINE how ridiculous these are gonna look next to previous Presidential portraits? Like a bad joke.
