First Lady Michelle Obama Insulted By Black Artists

The Boston GlobeThe backlash on Michelle Obama for her inaugural outfits continues-- and it is harsh!

The Black Artists Association (BAA) isn't pleased with the new First Lady. They are angry she didn't wear a Black designer outfit to the Inauguration.

The Huffington Post reports, "The group is publicly chiding the First Lady for not wearing an African-American designer during any of the inaugural festivities. On inauguration day, Obama wore Cuban-American designer Isabel Toledo, and at night she wore a gown by Taiwan-born designer Jason Wu."

The BAA has since reportedly received death threats for their disapproval of Mrs. Obama.

Harsh!! So much for a peaceful celebration.
