Michelle Obama Whines on Podcast: “As Black Women, We Don’t Articulate Our Pain”

100 Percent Fed Up

Michelle Obama is back.

This time, she’s complaining about being a black woman on her new podcast IMO.

If you haven’t heard of the podcast, you’re not alone. Nearly nobody is tuning in. And maybe you can understand why after you watch the clip down below from it…

While discussing why she didn’t attend President Trump’s inauguration, Michelle claimed,

“We don’t articulate, as black women, our pain because it’s almost like nobody gave us permission to do that.”

After her brother chimed in, she continued,

“Or, and we have to ask ourselves, the men in our lives is you know, why wait to be asked?” 

I have to ask, was that a jab at Barack?

“You know?” she went on, “It seems like what we go through is obvious. Maybe we’re not actually complaining but we are actually living life out loud.”

Watch for yourself:

Per The Washington Examiner:

Former first lady Michelle Obama is shedding new light on her decision to skip President Donald Trump’s second inauguration, revealing that it was a deeply personal choice made for her own mental and emotional well-being.

In a candid conversation on the latest episode of IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson, which featured actress Taraji P. Henson, Obama discussed the backlash she faced earlier this year for skipping high-profile public events, including Trump’s inauguration and the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter.

“What people don’t realize is that my decision to skip the inauguration … was met with such ridicule and criticism,” Obama said. “People couldn’t believe that I was saying no for any reason other than assuming my marriage was falling apart.”

The former first lady described the internal struggle of choosing self-preservation over societal expectations, noting that she even deliberately avoided having a dress prepared for the inauguration to resist the temptation of “doing the right thing” in the eyes of the public.

“If I’m not going to do this thing, I gotta tell my team, I don’t even want to have a dress ready,” she said. “Because it’s so easy to just say, ‘Let me do the right thing.’ But then you become a shock absorber. And that’s what women are — shock absorbers. And that’s exhausting. And it’s not healthy.”

Obama’s remarks add to a broader conversation she’s been fostering around mental health, personal agency, and the emotional labor disproportionately carried by women, especially women of color.

“We don’t articulate, as black women, our pain,” she said on the podcast. “Because it’s almost like nobody ever gave us permission to do that.”

Henson responded, “And does anyone care?”

To which Obama replied, “Yeah, there’s that part.”

“If we knew, I think we would care,” Robinson said.

We’re talking about Michelle Obama.

The same Michelle Obama with multiple mansions and millions of dollars in her bank account. And yet, who still can’t stop complaining.

 

Give me a break.
