Basic Black: Feminism Isn't Black and White
Our first conversation examines the recent media coverage of Michelle Obama and the meaning of feminism to women of color. An article in Politico dubbed the First Lady as a "feminist nightmare" while later coverage characterized her as the "angry black woman" when the President took a selfie with Danish prime minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt at the funeral of Nelson Mandela.
