Raccoons.
Now whatever could Michelle have meant by putting these women’s names on a meme of raccoons.
It gets worse.
Over 91% of black Americans voted against Trump. Please remember that folks and don’t judge us by these social media stunt artists. We saved America from Roy Moore. Remember that!

So if two black women don’t fall in line they’re automatically ‘stunt artists.’
Fascinating.
