Dallas, Texas but living in Houston, Texas
I dont like the optics of this.

Do other presidents families do this? Not a good look when this happens to the first and only black president.

Idk :francis:
Reagan's biological children are the total opposite of him when it comes to politics, but they don't run from their legacy. I don't think Malia is ashamed of being the daughter of the former president or anything like that though.

Clickbait. She just doesn’t want to use it professionally as make her own way. Nicholas Cage’s real last name isn’t Cage. It’s Coppola. Francis Ford Coppola (of Godfather fame) is his uncle.
Didn't know that

It's hard for a patriarch. Barack was not blessed with sons to carry his name and his daughter already throwing Obama in the bushes all before getting married and knocked up :whew:

She says she wants to drop the name to make it on her own = Problem
If she was going out of her way to use it to her advantage = Problem
If she would have gotten married and refused to change her last name = Problem


A lot of y'all are truly just miserable people.

Why do rich black people have an aversion to nepotism? I remember Puffy did an interview with his son and he talked about how he refuses to help his son establish a career as a rapper. Steve Harvey expressed similar sentiment about how when he dies none of his kids will get anything. There's many examples of NFL, NBA, rich rappers who refuse to use their resources to help out close friends and family. shyts weird.

Yeah your last name is Obama. Your father was president for 8 years. Why not use that to your advantage?

Life is hard. So why not leverage any advantage you can get? Retard.

Meanwhile...

This woman got nothing to worry about for the rest of her life, unless she deliberately sabotage herself and her family but even that would be impossible. That being said, this sounds like some midlife crisis thing.

Her father is the first black president
In no shape or form should she try to distance herself from his legacy just to make it in fukking Hollywood
White people have been living off legacy names for fukking centuries and they never turn their backs on their names
They may play that shyt up for digital likes and hugs to placate normal people’s criticism of them
But when they get off them devices and go home
They laughing and enjoying life
Black people are the only ones taking pride in that get it out the mud shyt
nikka if I was born into wealth, status and prestige
I wouldn’t give nan fukk about what some regular ass bumpkin thought
She has a legacy to uphold
Whether she likes it or not
Black people in this country have fought for years to take pride in their heritage and she running from it
Use that name and fukk getting it off your own merit
People are still going to look at you sideways anyway
Use the name to your advantage
Take every fukking opportunity that name gives you and give them hell
I want off this timeline so bad
People can’t be this dense

But if she got married and refused to give up her last name, brehs would be in here upset too.

:heh:

She is clearly talking about using her last for opportunities vs. her own merit.
“her own merit”, she was born the daughter of Barry and Michelle Obama, and has been world famous for the last 17 years.

All that “her own merit” shyt is out the window and there’s nun wrong with that

Because we have a ridiculous obsession with making it out the mud because a large percentage of us come from humble backgrounds. They want to be in the I made it from nothing club to fit in. Like people from the suburbs claiming they’re from the closest big city near them when they travel no matter how ghetto that city is. It’s retarded. Meanwhile white people try to hide that they grew up in a trailer park and act like they all come from money.
