Michelle Obama Delivers Commencement Speech/Racist Rant at Tuskegee University 2

http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/11/politics/michelle-obama-race-2016/
"In a 30 minute commencement address delivered at Tuskegee University, a historically black school in Alabama, Obama talked about the "nagging worries that you're going to get stopped or pulled over for absolutely no reason" along with "the fear that your job application will be overlooked because of the way your name sounds"
"We're both felt the sting of those daily slights throughout our entire lives- the folks who crossed the street in fear of their safety: the clerks who kept a close eye on us in all those department stores, those who questioned our intelligence"
"In another interview she says, "I'm as black as it gets. I was born on the South side...I put my blackness up against anybody's blackness in this state, ok?"
Good job Michelle, spew racist propoganda during a commencement speech, what a POS. It must be so hard living in the White House with servants meeting her every need the last 6 years, poor Michelle.

Worst first lady ever!
Obummer is in the running for worst president but he has competition.
-------------------- “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.” (attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville political philosopher Circa 1835) Trade list http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18047755

What, so you guys are just gonna deny the racism is happening and that blacks don't get discriminated against?
She hit the nail right on the head. The problem needs to be addressed head first, not subtly. No white first lady can get the effect that Obama has. She's part of them, she suffered like them and she can honestly talk without sounding like an old white bigoted racist.

Everyone gets discriminated against, for our looks, age, skills, talent, education, criminal record, wealth, ect.
"She hit the nail right on the head"
How so, that whitey is racist and young blacks should prepare for life with the victimization mentality, how's that been working for the past 40 years?
"she suffered like them"
Really, graduating from Princeton, Harvard Law sounds just horrible, and then 6 years in the White House, what a struggle.

How is Obama worse than dropping two nuclear weapons on innocent civilians? How is Obama worse than slavery? How is Obama worse than initiating the drug war?

Seriously. I'm not exactly enamored with Obama either but he has some good things. Most recently, he stopped giving military equipment to police departments. I don't know about you, but I think that's a great idea. Maybe you like the cops running towns and cities looking, acting and with the equivalent firepower of an occupying force, but I sure don't. Funny how that's not being mentioned here.

Her main focus is race, but I still don't see how she's being racist. She is speaking at a black college about being black in America, voting, and being your own "cavalry". Seems to me like she is trying to inspire graduates to be the change.

As is her husband's and Holder's and Sharpton's and Jackson's, et al. That is how they make their living. If they didn't have whiny bullshit they wouldn't have jobs. Mooch's thesis at Princeton was about the post graduate experience of Negro alums in regard to whether they felt a racist exclusion. She was very disappointed.

Regardless of how you feel about the POTUS, his wife or any of the people you named, the speech that the OP is talking about is not a racist rant, imo. It seems like people just grasp at anything so they can condemn the Obamas for racism, when the Obamas are just connecting with black people through blackness. They have also connected with white people, latinos, etc. That should be obvious enough, since Barack was voted into office twice.

It was a gift from Asante. I wanted to change back to my original login, but it wouldn't let me. That's alright though, because I then chose this awesome name. Cat puns make everything better.
