In the circus that is modern-day media, it’s always a thrill to watch the progressive darlings reveal just how out of touch they can be with the real world. Recently, Michelle Obama expressed her dismay over the lack of attention given to the plight of black women in America. Though she did discuss mental health as a Black woman on her podcast, the claim that nobody ever gave them permission to speak about their pain is questionable. You’ve got to wonder, with such vast platforms and millions of followers, who’s really stopping them?
The irony doesn’t stop there. Michelle’s brother, Craig Robinson, waded into the waters too, coming across as a supportive sibling rather than a “failed stand-up” as some might claim. It’s almost as if they’re creating the very stereotypes they claim to fight against. The “angry black woman” trope seems to have more life than a Hollywood reboot, and despite all the shouting, it appears barely anyone’s listening.
Meanwhile, Michelle’s podcast endeavors have drawn notice, but without specific subscriber numbers provided in sources, the performance critique remains subjective. Not to be tangled with unwarranted comparison, Meghan Markle’s unrelated podcast endeavors similarly stir varying discourse without direct ties to Obama’s narrative.
Not to be outdone in the tale of crashing wokeness, Don Lemon and Jim Acosta attempt to carve out new spaces on Substack and YouTube, with their current endeavors lacking public verification from our available data. They’re just more voices in a sea of disgruntled former stars.
In the cavalcade of out-of-touch behavior endorsed by such personalities, Ben Shapiro’s fictional portrayal in Ukraine further muddles reality. His supposed meeting with the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not documented, making this claim entirely speculative and erroneous. And every once in a while, it’s worth tuning into these comedic spectacles, if only to remind oneself why it’s sometimes better to stick to reality TV for a more realistic portrayal of society’s follies.
