They approached a member from her camp, Michelle never officially agreed, but said that she would be open to accepting invitations from other organizations as well. Perhaps it was misinterpreted because the next thing you know, the AKAs were promoting it that she was an a new member...

"It's not new, but it appears new," she says. "The president and his wife and children are not a novelty in the African-American community. "It's the only family I've known in my life." That's always been the black I knew and was raised by too. P.S. Does anyone know if it's true that Michelle Obama is an AKA? P.P.S. Can't wait for my Spell check to have Obama included and not do that damn underline thing everytime I write it. Loved the last quote from Barbara McKinzie

“It’s not new, but it appears new,” she says. “The president and his wife and children are not a novelty in the African-American community.

“It’s the only family I’ve known in my life.”

That’s always been the black I knew and was raised by too.

P.S. Does anyone know if it’s true that Michelle Obama is an AKA?

P.P.S. Can’t wait for my Spell check to have Obama included and not do that damn underline thing everytime I write it.

I'm from the school of thought that it's better to have have Blackness associated with achievement and dignity as opposed to selling dope.
