>>> Over the years, folks have used plenty of interesting words to describe me.

Just these past eight years (since 2008 Obamas on the national scene), I’ve had plenty of ‘interesting words’ to describe you.

None of them anything close to what you were thinking, Michelle.

First Lady: ‘Sting’ of Racism ‘Didn’t Hold Me Back’

Yeah sure, thanks to the American taxpayer and affirmative action.

[RnMomof7]

Actually she’d be selling perfume if it was not for affirmative action

[parksstp]

sorry,

I will need to consult the Urban Dictionary for assistance.

I didn’t know “uppity” was a coded race word. I thought it was used to describe rich snobs or people that wished they were, like Hyacinth Bucket, er Bouquet.

[A CA Guy]

Didn’t hold her back at all, she rose despite being a racist.

[MuttTheHoople]

They hated me because of my strong, Nubian beauty...not because I was an angry harridan out of my league with the people smarter than me in college

[zzwhale]

nor does the stench of bs.... nor being disbarred
envision michelle squeegeeing windshields .... something she is qualified for....... and bendoverbarrybathhouseboy cleaning urinals.........something he can be trained for

[SharpRightTurn]

“Michelle Obama said she refused to let the “sting” of racial bias define her.”

Has this racist woman with the 500 lb. chip on her should ever achieved anything worthy of note, other than the no-show job she had at the hospital when Barry was elected to the U.S. Senate?

Moochelle has to be the entitlement queen of all entitlement queens.

[digger48]

Besides it’s all a scam to make money and take advantage of other people.

It's also part of the administrations effort to further divide the country by race.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

She talks about nothing else...

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Instead of “holding you back”, racism got you exactly where you are today. Your own racism, that is.

[MV=PY]

"'Sting' of Racism 'Didn't Hold Me Back'"

That's because she's never experienced it.

[SaraJohnson]

The “sting” of Black hate didn’t hold me back, either.

Mrs Obama: Tired of 'angry black woman' stereotype

[CGASMIA68]

to dense? Nobody proofreads anymore.

[houeto]

Just damn! He forgot to shave before that photo!

[Maceman]

to dense? Nobody proofreads anymore.

Of course I know you are right. Sometimes the brain and the fingers aren't in synch. Happens more and more as I progress further and further into my 60s.
