Karl Lagerfeld at Metro Newspaper Paris Newsroom, working on "The World according to Karl"So we have a famous designer, whom some Black people love to throw money at is accused of saying something very disrespectful, very distasteful and very offensive about the First Lady of the United States of America. 

According to BlackAmericanWeb:

Contrary to what a renowned fashion designer claims - and just to set the record straight - First Lady Michelle Obama did not refer to herself as having a "big black ass."

The media – and blogosphere – is buzzing this week after legendary Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld, 78, misquoted the first lady in a bone-headed, insulting and racially-insensitive interview with a Paris newspaper.

"I'm a big fan of Mrs. Obama — and her face, I think, is magical," said Lagerfeld. "My favorite line of Mrs. Obama is when a journalist asked her if she thought her skirts were not too tight, and she answered, 'Why you don't like my big black ass?' This is a line I admire. She got me with that." 

Wow, just when the black people at GLADD and other gay rights groups, thought they could get some rest. Being gay and Black poses some heavy double duty fight the power assignments. 

What's suprising is not that he said it. He's old school. He forgot about the internet and thought his comments would get buried in the Paris publication. What surprising is that many in the Black community give our loyalty to people who create products without us in mind but we flock to it anyway. I'm guilty.

Back in day, in my teens, I HAD to have a bottle of Lagerfeld cologne. Smelled like a million bucks! LOL Any young lady rocking some Chanel, I just knew she was doing it. She didn't even have to be all that cute or nice. Just rock that Chanel baby girl. Wow. I felt he represented quality, class and character.

Giving my loyalty to whom and at what cost? Well, his current statements prove otherwise. That's not a brand I want to follow or support. No need to explain Karl. I see the kind of world you'd like.
