Michelle Obama’s ‘I’ve Felt The Sting Of Racism’ Speech At Tuskeegee





The anger at a country that has made her powerful and wealthy is incredibly palpable.

We call our neighborhood the "Middle Manger Ghetto", as we are largely populated by families headed by a relatively successful husband. Houses are nice, basic needs are met, and the lifestyle is one that many people would find very desirable.

My personal ill-will towards Michelle Obama is that she reminds me of many of the women I see hanging out at our neighborhood pool. Rarely happy, unappreciative of the efforts their husbands make to enable such a lifestyle, constantly complaining about their life, and downright entitled and miserable human beings. Michelle Obama is the embodiment of these country-club wives, just on a bigger stage. Class and appreciation of what you have, vice constant bitching about what you don't, resonate strongly with me, and this First Lady would receive much better remarks from me if she kept her mouth shut and showed a little appreciation for the gifts this country and her current title afford her.

Yes, what a toll, millions on luxury vacations and restaurants and a coterie of servants to do your every bidding. It’s so tough being royal…

Quote:Michelle Obama gave a candid view Saturday of the challenges and emotional toll of being the country’s first black first lady.

Obama, speaking to graduates at Tuskegee University in Alabama, described insensitive media questions and derogatory remarks from political pundits that she said have kept her up at night.

“You might remember the on-stage celebratory fist bump between me and my husband after a primary win that was referred to as a ‘terrorist fist jab,’ ” she said.

“And over the years, folks have used plenty of interesting words to describe me. One said I exhibited ‘a little bit of uppity-ism.’ Another noted that I was one of my husband’s ‘cronies of color.’ Cable news once charmingly referred to me as ‘Obama’s Baby Mama.’ ”

Obama said she was subjected to a different set of expectations on the campaign trail in 2008 compared with other candidates’ wives.

Oh Paul, I'd never put you on ignore. You're about the easiest poster to correct, because you post nothing but nonsense and idiocy, and there is no sign of that ever changing.

She would need to cut her current hair down to a TWA (teeny weeny afro) before growing what you pictured above. BTW, that's not an afro, they call those twists.

Here is a woman that has overcome racism and has succeeded and yet those of you who would like to see more black people do this tear her down.

Why is that?

Depends, are you asking why black people tear her down?

No. I'm talking about people who say that Blacks need to stop making excuses and start being good role models and successful.

She has done that and the same people hate her for it.

It's a no win situation.

I listened to her speech. She is clearly referring specifically to you cons.

I'm talking about those blacks who don't think she is 'keeping it real' and that 'she acts white'. So you're correct, she can't win for losing.

Apparently Michelle hired the folks at #BlackLivesMatter to write her speeches.

Quote: But Obama returned to issues of racism in America with a warning to Tuskegee’s graduates that “the road ahead is not going to be easy”. “It never is,” she said, “especially for folks like you and me. Because while we’ve come so far, the truth is that those age-old problems are stubborn and they haven’t fully gone away. So there will be times … when you feel like folks look right past you, or they see just a fraction of who you really are.”

People would not see them as the hard-working graduates they appeared on the day of their graduation who had struggled to achieve their education, pay for it, and give back to their communities, she said. “They don’t know that part of you.

Instead they will make assumptions about who they think you are based on their limited notion of the world.”

Frustration, Obama said, “can feel isolating. It can make you feel like your life somehow doesn’t matter. And as we’ve seen over the past few years, those feelings are real.”

“They’re rooted in decades of structural challenges that have made too many folks feel frustrated and invisible, and those feelings are playing out in communities like Baltimore and Ferguson and so many others across this country.”

Yeah but that's not what she said. I listened to the entire speech last night. She was referencing you asshats that mock and attack her.

Both of them have more patients than me. I would have cursed people out at the State of the Union address.
