NEW YORK, NEW YORK– In a jaw-dropping moment during the IMO: The Look limited series, former First Lady Michelle Obama left audiences stunned after vehemently denying she’d ever referred to white people as “honkys.” The revelation came as she casually dropped the term “white crackers” multiple times during her conversation with Tracee Ellis Ross.
When Ross pressed Obama about her alleged use of the slur “honkys,” Obama scoffed, “Lord have mercy, no. I don’t use that word. That’s some old-school racism right there.” The audience breathed a sigh of relief before she added, “Now, white crackers? That’s different. They’re like the saltine of the human race-crunchy, flavorless, and always showing up uninvited.”
The studio audience erupted into applause as Michelle Obama flexed her signature “I’m a strong black woman” pose, completely oblivious to the hypocrisy. When a white producer attempted to clarify the difference between “honkys” and “white crackers,” Obama cut him off, saying, “Honey, you wouldn’t understand. It’s like explaining why we season our collard greens differently. Some things are just black.”
The interview ended with Obama promoting her new cookbook, Cooking With Michelle: My Struggles With Being A Black Woman Amongst White Crackers, which includes a chapter dedicated to “recipes to make white crackers cry.” The book is set to hit shelves in time for Kwanzaa.
