Malia Obama to drop her last name 'Obama'

[Ezekiel 25:17]

But she's not trying to be a corporate big wig. She's doing Hollywood shyt. There's a lot of people in that world using stage names.

Michelle Obama makes first comments after daughter Malia drops last name: 'She's trying to make her way'

Malia used her middle name, Ann, as her last name for the credits of a short film, "The Heart," which she wrote and directed.

We’re the Hollywood and celebrity life. Not what you’re talking about.

Y'all missing the entire point. The basis of white supremacy is keeping it in the family and keeping the upper hand. Sure you have a couple folks changing their last name, but the point remains, the whites ain't doing that.

There's nothing wrong with keeping the Obama last name. Fuk what people below you think.

 

[Luke Cage]

That’s apples and oranges. He regrets it because he got rid of his Spanish name in an attempt to assimilate. She doesn’t want the Obama name to overshadow her work.

she hangs out with cacs, She doing the same thing breh. Trying to assimlate

 

[feelosofer]

I think it's just from a stage name standpoint. I don't think she js trying to erase her father but trying to forge her own path even though got a hell of a start due to her upbringing.

Difference no one knew Nick Cage

People know Malia

Did you know she directed that A’ja Wilson commercial prior to articles being written about it? She’s been behind the scenes doing her thing for a few years now.

There’s a different type of assimilation when you can literally become white just by changing your name. Martin Sheen likely doesn’t get his start in Hollywood with the name “Estevez.”

gen z black women.....

White parents would never allow this and white kids would never do this. They take every last advantage they can in this world.

At the end of the day, who cares what losers at the bottom think in regards of you being handed everything?

Emilio Estevez a real one

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

Literally getting rid of her last name isn’t going to change that. Everyone is going to know she’s Malia Obama whether she has the name or not. She can’t do anything about it.

They may hire her without seeing who she is. As stupid as it sounds, there are people who won’t want to hire her based off the Obama name.

 

[VertigoKnight]

Let's be honest the people who are hiring know who she is. They grew up in the public eye so there is no escaping that.

I guess if her work is good, ( the nike commercial looks good) then she gets to craft her own separate life. Apart from her parents.

How many people knew she directed that A’ja Wilson commercial before articles ran saying she did it? With Smaller projects, the average consumer may not know she’s the one behind the scenes doing the directing. As she becomes more successful, then he’s they will realize she’s Barack’s daughter. I’m sure the A’ja Wilson commercial isn't the first thing she’s done, but it’s the first thing of note most of us knew she directed.

She wrote an episode of that Donald Glover show about the crazy Stan.

 

[Spliff]

Was gonna shyt on her til I learned she's in film work.

I get it.

She doesn't want her projects to get slandered due to unrelated politics. Wouldn't be fair to the staff she's apart of either.

Denzel son did similar. He just had the fortune of having a super common black last name so hiding was easy.

When living in the Roman West

this is what your black women will do.

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.

just like harry windsor dropped his last name in everyday life.

and now wants to change it alltogether.

People either faking outrage or don't know about stage names.

 

[Admiral Ackbar]

A lot of CAC tropes being repeated here.
