Sunny Hostin addresses the derogatory slur made about Michelle Obama by a UFC fighter.
"For a long time, Black women have been slurred, made to feel they were unattractive, and masculine. Racism and sexism was on full display at the WH. The crowd laughed. The President smirked and never addressed what was said. That is beneath the dignity of the office of the President of the United States."
Titus O’Neil took to Instagram to send a message to Josh Hokit and the current administration after Hokit called Michelle Obama, “a man” at UFC Freedom 250.
“No matter How long it’s been since Michelle Obama and Barack Obama left the White House it’s clear as day that they did enough while in office to keep their names relevant for those that have the behavior pattern of a 4/5 year child. This is definitely not a political post. It’s more about being a decent human being and while I may not agree with everything that all politicians, including the Obama’s allowed, I can’t deny the fact that they held the positions with Grace and class and still remain the classy people that they showed the world that they could be while in office and while they serve as civilians. I can’t pin this type of behavior on one person, but what I can pin this type of behavior on is an entitled &privileged mindset that some people can say and do whatever they want to certain people and not have consequences because in America, they never have consequences. Let’s be better people. Let’s be better human beings. You wanna make the country great again start doing shit for this country That is actually great for everyone!!!that goes for what you do locally in your community throughout your states and throughout this country. This country definitely is a beautiful place when we allow it to be for everyone. Hatred, bigotry and racism have never been things that unite us. DECENCY, Love of fellow human beings and Good life choices should be the barometer to start. If you think about the history of this country that somehow someway is trying to be erased in some areas and arenas think about the fact that we would not have had to have a civil rights movement or women’s rights movement or lesbian, gay rights movement or any other movement if we truly were operating as one nation under God. God is LOVE no matter what your religious beliefs are. Whatever God you serve should lead you to be a better human being!! Thank you for your attention to this matter."
Black people didn’t ask any questions. We just woke up this morning, saw the timeline & was like “we ride at dawn!” I love us, man.
Forever riding for Barack & Michelle Obama 🖤
The jealousy is just delicious.
Michelle Obama:
Princeton University graduate
Harvard Law School graduate
Attorney
Hospital executive
Public servant
Bestselling author
Former First Lady of the United States
One of the most admired women on the planet
This is shameful and beneath the dignity of our Armed Forces. General Daniel “Chappie” James Jr.—the first Black four-star general, a Tuskegee Airman who flew 179 combat missions in two wars, a man who stared down racism and communism with equal courage—had his portrait removed from the Pentagon under Pete Hegseth.

After hearing what was said about Michelle Obama at the White House last night, I can’t stay silent.
She’s a Princeton- and Harvard-educated attorney, a former First Lady, and a global example of intelligence, grace, and elegance.
I’m speaking up because she taught us: *“When they go low, we go high.”* That means calling out disrespect while still choosing dignity.
I stand with Michelle Obama. And she represents the best of American values.
Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trump’s UFC 250 event: “To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.”
They crack jokes about George Floyd and laugh in our faces, and we do nothing.
They shoot our children in the back and then sentence them as adults for defending themselves and we do nothing.
They call Michelle Obama, the first Black First Lady of the United States a Man, and a Monkey and we do nothing.
They strip away voting rights in the same southern states where we send our best Black athletes to play college sports to make them BILLIONS, and we do nothing.
They openly talk about bringing SLAVERY back, and we do nothing.
We are desensitized to our own disrespect.
“So let me get this straight: You started a war, got people killed, torched billions of dollars, threatened global oil supplies & ended up with basically the same deal I had - except Iran gets way more money. And I’m the one you call weak?? 😂😂😂”
Elegance, Class, Beauty and Intelligence. They hate you because they could never achieve a fraction of what you have achieved. Much Respect Forever First Lady #MichelleObama
Trump ataca Lewis Hamilton — e recebe uma resposta contundente…. Donald Trump chamou Lewis Hamilton de “um insulto ao esporte” porque o heptacampeão é “extremamente progressista” e acredita que não devemos discriminar com base no gênero…. Infelizmente ele escolheu a pessoa errada…. Em um local histórico, Lewis Hamilton não apenas respondeu com veemência — ele fez um discurso moral…. “O presidente dos Estados Unidos acabou de dizer que eu insultei o espírito da competição”, começou Lewis Hamilton…. “Querem saber o que insulta a humanidade? Tirar o acesso à saúde dos doentes enquanto se cortam impostos para bilionários.”…. “Sabem o que insulta a humanidade?”, continuou ele…. “Deportar estrangeiros e separar bebês de suas mães.”….
“Sabe o que insulta a humanidade? Bombardear crianças inocentes em idade escolar no Irã e enviar nossos bravos homens e mulheres para morrer em mais uma guerra sem fim… Acobertar os arquivos de Epstein e depois se recusar a processar uma única pessoa envolvida.”…. Lewis Hamilton — que foi atacado por Trump por apoiar pessoas transgênero e afirmar que “todas as crianças são uma dádiva para este mundo” — mudou completamente o discurso…. Em vez de recuar, ele fundamentou sua mensagem nos próprios valores que Trump tentou usar como arma…. “Eu não sou uma pessoa perfeita”, disse ele…. “Mas me esforço todos os dias para usar minha plataforma em prol daqueles que não a têm.”…. “Somos ensinados a amar o nosso próximo como a nós mesmos… Conseguimos imaginar a guerra em um mundo perfeito? Conseguimos imaginar o preconceito em um mundo perfeito? Conseguimos imaginar a pobreza em um mundo perfeito? Então por que toleramos essas coisas na Terra?”
@stephenasmith@ufc By your comments on @FirstTake this morning, you seemingly enjoyed the UFC situation at the former, dignified White House. Folks are circulating a clip of a guy on the microphone there calling Mrs. Michelle Obama a man. Did you enjoy that also?
