although, a lot of these messages make me ashamed to be a black woman. I do beleive it's true that lighter-skinned people are treated better than the latter. I'm in between and don't approve of the favoritism, any favoritsm for that matter.

I am so proud of these good fathers; but I can't believe how ignorant some of these childish women are making these comments about the first daughters. And what's so funny is that the baby girl is gorgeous. She has an exotic flare. The young men will definitely be falling all over both of these beautiful girls when they get older. This self hatred in the black community is way past old. And then the woman would throw her sorority into it. Definitely not a fan of that sorority; but I know they as a whole wouldn't agree with her.

I am surprised to see Eddie Murphy in this line up. Has he finally seen and acknowledged the daugher he has with Mel B? Eddie - fathers need to love all their children!!!

And by the way, both girls are beautiful! Those of you who say one is better looking than the other, need to sit down and shut up. And thank you Nicole, for speaking up for the good name of AKA, so that people won't get a negative impression of this fine sorority from this person's obvious ignorance.

Tika, you are a sad case, and a sad misrepresentation of black women. Mentality like yours is what keeps us as a people divided. People like you, give our little girls complexes from which they can hardly recover. Keep your negative crap to yourself.

The fact he is a good father come from the "white" side of his family because his black father was never there. Black fathers are the worst.

Tika, sweetie...I truly hope your intent is to see how stirred up you can get people and that this whole thing is a joke to you...because if not honey....from one AKA to another...please don't reference our great sorority and the countless beautiful sisters (of all shades) of whom represent it, while spreading your unfortunate ignorance. It's girls like you that make me wonder how did you even made the cut...obviously you just signed your name on that piece of PAPER! Black women are BEAUTIFUL...period!

To Tika your comment is ignorant and archaic. No matter the hue of your complexion the white man will enslave us all. You may be in the house wiping their feces while others are in the field. He will say all of us are n#####s! As black women we should hold our heads high that we have an accomplish, intelligent, beautiful first African-American First Lady. She deserves our respect and no matter what we say President Obama loves and adores her. Sasha is way cuter than Malia. Do not look at the complexion but the features.

Why do the Obamas continue to exploit their children for the sake of publicity. No other First Family has ever done that. Does the President feel this will get him votes in 2012?

I love this article! I really don't understand how anyone can look at an article like this and take a negative spin on it. BOTH THE OBAMA GIRLS ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! Tika (and the rest like her), seek help immediately. It's 2009, not 1909. I highly doubt that you are representing the AKA organization with that ignorance - and this statement is coming from a Delta.
