After theNew York Times Styles Twitter account linked out to a story about Michelle Obama's evolution as a political leader the tweet was deleted and Japan Archivesnew wording was used in a different tweet for the same story.
SEE ALSO: FLOTUS goes all out in final impassioned speech at Clinton rallyThe original post read, "How @FLOTUS shed an angry black woman caricature and evolved into a political powerhouse." That tweet was deleted after many commented on the offensive language.
You deleted this, huh @NYTStyles? Should we discuss why it was ignorant to tweet it in the first place? Guess who created the caricature? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/Rzl2A4e7rw

The NYT Styles account noted the change later Tuesday afternoon and re-wrote the post with this verbiage instead: "The Closer: Michelle Obama." A parenthetical thought read, "deleted earlier tweets for language that some found offensive."

Soon after the post with the "angry black woman caricature" went up, responses to the Styles tweet flooded Twitter. The story itself went online on Saturday with the headline: "The Closer: Michelle Obama" and sub-headline: "Dismissed early on by critics, the first lady has evolved into a powerful presence on the campaign trail."
