Okay, although the Playboy interview (which I read in full last night) was a little less substantive than the far-superior Rolling Stone profile (the interviewer was clearly less prepared than Sharlet, or mabye that’s his style), I did like what he said about Michelle Obama:

“Somebody of her brilliance, somebody of her vision, somebody of her courage confined to keeping gardens at the White House, reaching out to military families, highlighting childhood obesity. I think she could be a great force for change if she could only set herself free. She can’t though. Black sister exercising her power, willing to take a stand, would be too much of a threat.”

That had been boiling inside me since Day One of her “makeover.” I’m glad Brother West said that!

And I like the fact that he directly told the interviewer that, yes, he likes the pictures! LOL! 🙂

P.S. And although harsh (as usual), this is more true than false.
