Award wining Nigerian author, Chimamanda Adichie is claiming that US President, Barack Obama would have lost the election 8 years ago ''If Michelle Obama had worn her hair in it’s natural state''.
Speaking with Channel 4 News, Adichie said, ''If Michelle Obama had worn her hair in it’s natural state while her husband Barack Obama was running for US president eight years ago, he would not have won because her natural hair would have signified certain things to people and those things are negative things.
''It would signify that she’s some sort of militant, neo Black Panther, frighening, angry – angry in a bad way because of course, talking about gender in some ways women are not allowed to be angry, particularly black women, so anger in a black woman is something that is just a no-no’.
