I was admittedly disappointed with the ad, in large part because I would bet on the last batch of watermelon and chitlins that there will not be similar ads distributed to any other constituency.
I am not sure if President Obama heard the ad before it was released, and it’s possible that Michelle Obama is the only person in the White House who would understand why educated Black people may be annoyed by its contents (apparently, going to college makes you “bougie” these days). I sincerely doubt that Mr. and Mrs. Obama’s Black friends from Harvard and Yale would find the ad compelling or acceptable.
