Melania Trump Racist In Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie "Janelle Asked To The Bedroom" by Kei144(op): 6:13pm On Oct 24, 2017
Melania Trump is apparently lonely, obsessed with Michelle Obama and a bit racist -- at least that's the story according to acclaimed writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

In a new short story commissioned for and by The New York Times Book Review, Adichie imagined an exchange between the first lady, whom she refers to as "Mrs. T" in the text, and her black Pilates instructor, Janelle.

The micro-novel is titled Janelle Asked to the Bedroom, and paints Trump as a forlorn, reluctant first lady and wife of a president who expresses unease with her political fame.

In Adichie's fictional account, Mrs T invites her Pilates instructor into her bedroom, instead of their usual meeting place in the first lady's home gym. Janelle is surprised to find her "disheveled" and her manner appearing "distracted."

There, Mrs T, who Adichie described in her story as envious of her predecessor's ease into the first lady role, reveals to Janelle a video of Michelle Obama visiting a classroom and photos of her she's saved to her laptop that she says she looks at for "inspiration."

The first lady is also portrayed in the story as displaying casual racism her husband, President Trump, has been accused of sharing.

When Janelle tells Mrs T that her son was admitted into Harvard University, Mrs T responds, asking, “He got scholarship to go?”

“How automatic, this assumption of a scholarship, and Janelle knew she meant a scholarship not of smarts but of skin,” Adichie penned in her account.

Adichie's short story follows another text she wrote for the Times earlier last year in the months leading up to the presidential election, in which she portrayed the first lady as quietly doubting Trump's chance of winning.

I think we should mind our business.
Face our own challenges.

The tribalism some of us practice is more or less racism.

My respect for this woman finished after I read her opinion on the whole same sex marriage issue that rocked Nigeria then. I remember my mum banned us from studying fine art or literature cuz it can corrode your morality. This lady is proof of that....



For those of you who will quote me, have fun.

How can she paint Trump's wife a racist when she has never met her before? I know Trump himself is, but this lady came from Slovenia for the American Dream many years ago. I don't want to believe she is a racist.

Michelle Obamas intelligence is no where comparable to Melania Trump.
Melania plagiarized Michelle Obamas speech same way Buhari plagiarized Barack Obamas speech during their presidential inaugurations.

IPOB come to Melenia's defense.

Come and rubbish your daughter, as usual, to defend and support Trump and his sugardaughter.

See how the first lady is dressed. Look at her skirt undecided undecided
Swear you understood what's written up there and I will give you a bottle of origin. You are wet already on a topic that doesn't concern IPOB. why not mind your business for once. A Trump will shock Nigerians come 2019. We don't have a president now. All we have is a figure head Jubril.

Adichie is trying hard to ride on the racist disposition of Trump and family to garner myriad readerships to her book. It's not needful. Trump deserves his peace.


Blacks are more racist than Whites according to my research.

75% of white guys are racist. Is usually not easy associating with them... Even their illiterates wants to direct u an educated man cos u r black even while u are doing same thing they are still talking... Example, you are going to pick up a cup, just while going, they still foolishly say my friend pick up that cup, this is only looking down on blacks, and is a racist act.
