Every time my mother would interview a Black woman for a job I remember her asking this very important question. So in the spirit of fair play, I will now ask my mother's important question. I'm dying to know the answer.
To Michelle Obama:
Do you do windows?
Do you do windows?

LMAO...
Yeah, good question... She's like 6'0", she could reach the high places quite well...
Of course you know, we'll be branded as vile racists for this...
LMAO...
...and you should be because you are racist...but we'll just consider that it is from the south and therefore normal? :(
Then again, I take that back, my daughter was born in Texas and she is NOT.
BTW I'm no fan of the Obama's
Why couldn't your mother clean her own bloody windows? Slavery was never a feature of our history (Australia). Apparently it lingers in the home of the brave and the land of the free.
You had to be a bit special to colonize Australia. Over in NZ, you needed a letter from your parish priest.
They needed on from a magistrate!
Listening to the Obamas [and their former Rev.] almost made me into a racist. Then in a market parking lot, it was night, one of two black guys said something.
"You talkin' to me?" I shouted at the one standing upright, his hands on his supermarket cart, as I slid out of my car. (I got that line from "Taxi driver," the movie, of course. Deniro, gun flipping out into his palm . . . )
The other black guy, swivelled around and came towards me, fast--
That was because he was low, on one of those motorized scooters. You know, with a sort of whip antenna with an American flag on it.
He was wearing a Veteran's cap.
We--I mean they--started talking to me about my car--which to me--the car--was no big deal. I mean, both of those guys admired it. Asked me how it performed and whether I could handle it all right.
After some more small talk about the effing car (that fails the smog test every two years, so that Im really pissed at it), the guy guy in the scooter got out of the way of a car's headlights coming towards him, and the other guy and I told each other to take care, and I went into the store.
I was no longer thinking about becoming a flaming racist because of the Obama couple and their effing "Rev." Wright.
(See, I probably disappointed you [or maybe not]. Maybe y'all thought I'd gotten the shit beat of me and was justified in becoming not only an Obama-hater but a--well, let it go. Obama ain't gonna make me into what he and his b--I mean wife is.)
Isadora racist not, I was told this joke (yes it is a joke) by a black friend who see Michelle as one of those angry Black women of the 60's who looked down upon the older women for cleaning people's homes. Hard work never hurt a person when it paid well and put food and clothes on a family's back.
1735099, my mother was fortunate to be able to afford a housekeeper. Our dear Miss Estelle did the housework, gossiped with my grandmother, and watched me. She wasn't a slave, but a valued employee and treated as such. That is a difference between our nations. In the US for many years maid/housekeeper was the only decent job available to many Black women.
urbanadder22 no disappointment here. Most people (regardless of skin color) are decent people when you get to know them.
For the record: I'm not southern, born and bred Yankee. And Isadora that remark about the south was racist. And yes I have black friends, white friends, Hispanic friends, Asian friends, Muslims friends and Jewish friends.
My Black friends howled at this. It is something they want to ask her to.
Of course it would be insulting to her, for she see the labor of working people as beneath her.
Hey, don't accuse Jews of being slave owners. We pay our help well.
C'mon, the windows stuff is just lame. Your setup and delivery of the punchline made the whole thing more meanspirited than funny.
