0:00 Michelle Obama uh still on her media tour for her book about fashion and she's got a lot of thoughts about whites. She really doesn't seem to like them. It's like evident in every interview she gets and she's saying more outrageous things like this one in S 15. I remember when I realized that clothing, my hair, and how I spoke could actually protect me from the microaggressions of racism. I was in my early teens. Do you remember when you realized that clothing could be a tool or when you began to understand the power of how to present yourself within the context of protection or armor? The Magnet High School that I went to was on the west side and to get to it, we had to cut through downtown.

That's why I'm like, don't even look at me about running cuz you all are lying. You're not ready for a woman. You are not. So, don't waste my time. You know, we got a lot of growing up to do. And there's still, I'm sadly a lot of men who do not feel like they can be led by a woman. And we saw it.
