Oops! my bad! LOL i didn’t read the post properly guess this is a DIFFERENT Dunbar High School. I assumed it was the one in chicago because obviously Barack was senator. i keep forgetting he’s now the PRESIDENT! lol

OMG - Alicia was at the White House and met with First Lady Michelle Obama. Daddy Knowles and Princess Beyonce ain’t having that. Remember, Princess Bey claims that according to First Lady Obama, her daughters look up to Bey as their top role model of any other entertainer.

19.

HUH?

Thursday, March 19, 2009 /

I admire Alicia. It is about damn time Michelle Obama invited her for something, instead of SWSNBN. There, I said it! So sue me! :)

20.

HUH?

Thursday, March 19, 2009 /

@ #12
Even without reading correctly, if Alicia met with Mrs. Obama in the morning (with other celebs) before being dispatched to the schools, then chances are that this was in the Wash DC area. No?

21.

HUH?

Thursday, March 19, 2009 /

Then again, how can SWSNBN talk to children about staying in school when she didn’t even graduate her dam* self?

And Great job to Alicia for working on the campaign trail.

Where is yall beloved Beyonce????? My bad, I forgot if she is not singing or shaking her butt its a no go for her, because we all know she can’t hold an intelligent discussion about nothing!

I guess we will see her at the next concert event! LOL

DANIELLE AND DINAH…YALL ARE SO IGNORANT…BEYONCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS POST NOR DOES ALICIA’S “ALLEGED” HOMEWRECKING.

ANYWAYS ALICIA LOOKS GREAT FROM HEAD TO TOE. HAPPY TO SEE HER OUT DOING THE POSITIVE THINGS SHE LOVES TO DO. CAN’T WAIT FOR A NEW ALBUM. I HEARD SHE WAS WORKING ON A MUSIC COMPOSITION ALBUM AS WELL SO I’D LOVE TO HEAR THAT ALSO.

I gots to be honest Alicia Keys is about as perfect as a woman gonna get. She black (mixed or whatever), nice hips, beautiful face, beautiful hips, beautiful voice, beautiful PERSON INSIDE AND OUT.

I DON’T.

I AB-SO-PHUCK-ING -LUTELY love the Obamas!!!

I am a native Washingtonian, and although I went to catholic schools in the d.c. area, I live literally right around the corner from Dunbar…I just LOVE how the Obamas are really embracing our city and taking part in the rich culture and history of D.C.

From Obama eating at Ben’s Chilli Bowl to every time I turn around Michelle is visiting a D.C. public, charter, catholic, or private school. She seems so warm.

I went to a museum last week, and they had an exhibit on African-American in the District. Did you know that Dunbar Senior High School was the first African-American high school for African-American in the U.S. It was opened in either the late 1800s or early 1900s. It has educated some the most prominent African-Americans in the country!

Sandrarose had some pics of Michelle hugging some of the Dunbar students, and her embrace was so warm and heart felt in those pictures that I felt like she was hugging me.

Please keep up the WONDERFUL work OBAMA S. I’m behind you guys all the way!!!

Yes We Did!!!

For those who are interested, the First Lady’s visit to these schools will be on Katie Couric’s news show tonight.

I’m pretty sure the program will show the other ladies who attended these events as well. I know the First Lady is supposed to be interviewed by Katie at today’s events.

NOPE, SHE’S A HIGH SCHOOL DROP OUT
SHE’S NOT REALLY INTERESTED IN “GIVING BACK” HER TIME TO WORTHY CAUSES, SHE ONLY WANTS TO SING ETTA’S SONG SO HER STANS CAN BRAG **********BORING***********

THIS IS HOW YOU GET IN AND FIT IN.
NOBODY GIVE A DANG ABOUT MAGAZINE COVERS AND ENDORSEMENTS.

WHAT CAN YOU OR ARE YOU WILLING TO DO FOR THE COUNTRY?

HMM! I THOUGHT BORING BEYAKI SAID SHE WAS A ROLE MODEL? THERE SHE GOES DREAMING TOO BIG AGAIN. LOL!!!

We are not perfect! Alicia has done soo much good in the U.S. and abroad. What she can show young women about being an empowered business woman and charitable person is not to be overlooked and those kids would benefit & it would be a terrible oversight if her talents & contributions are overlooked b/c of a human flaw. Just like those of you that sit in judgement of her; she will have to answer for it.

Why bring Bee into this? You know that just sets Bee’s fans off and reinforces their ‘hater’ comments. So irrelevant.

What possibly could little girls learn form this home wrecker?!? Yes Alicia keys is a home wrecker,and such a woman doesn’t get my respect

i see she decide to get a better weave, than her last jacked up wig from the Oscars

Interesting enough u never hear or see the obama girls going crazy over this overrated pop tart with a mediocre voice and average piano skills, masquerading as a soul artist, possibly they too can smell that pseudo artist from a mile away.

unless you idiots can produce pictures of swizz and alicia together, you can pretty much thank mashonda’s PR person for that rumor. and did it help her go platinum? not even close. low self esteem negroes will believe anything….

anyway, back to the positivity…. go Keys! Also, Lisa Leslie, Phylicia Rashad and Debbie Allen were part of this activity at different schools. The kids were really into Lisa at the school she was assigned to, as they were Alicia at hers.

Alicia always pushes education. I love that about her. I wish more of our entertainers would stop being products (just a bunch of commericals, and magazine covers) and actually push what matters. Yes, I do believe that it’s a parent’s job to instill education, but unfornately, we are in a generation where celebrities in a very indirect way are leading our chidlren (sad to report). Everyone is not going to get discovered for singing or dancing like some of our artists, but an education is something that can’t be taken away.
