Thanks for posting this. I’m waiting to see if there will be more naming of the sexism against Michelle…. since there was so much focus on the sexism against Hilary vs the racism against Obama – will other white feminists speak up as well?

Thanks again….

That website is definitely a great idea. The things the media latches onto just to put someone down and have something to bitch about is disgusting.

I was very excited when I came across the website. We need to call this out as exactly what it is. I predict that these racist/sexist attacks are only going to escalate as the campaign progresses. It will be a race to the bottom to see which media outlet can attack her the most. Heaven forbid people actually discuss the issues. It is far easier to prey upon the ignorance and hatred of others thus distracting people from what really matters.
