Michelle Obama has spoken out against the killing of George Floyd, saying she is 'exhausted' by the racist attacks on black people in America, while calling on everyone to do their part in 'rooting it out.'

The former first lady shared an Instagram post on Friday saying she was 'pained' by the recent string of tragedies in the black community and the 'heartbreak that never seems to stop.'

'Right now it's George, Breonna, and Ahmaud. Before that it was Eric [Garner] Sandra [Bland] and Michael [Brown]. It just goes on, and on, and on,' she said.

'Race and racism is a reality that so many of us grow up learning to just deal with. But if we ever hope to move past it, it can't just be on people of color to deal with it.

'It's up to all of us—Black, white, everyone—no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out.'

Obama urged Americans to start with 'self-examination' and to listen to people who are from different walks of life.

'It ends with justice, compassion, and empathy that manifests in our lives and on our streets. I pray we all have the strength for that journey, just as I pray for the souls and the families of those who were taken from us,' she added.

Yo, Michael, the entire Minnedishu City Council is made up of demonicRATS and Greenies. The Mayor is a demonicRAT. The Police Commissioner is black. Why is there so much racism in Minnedishu?

“””””Before that it was Eric [Garner] Sandra [Bland] and Michael [Brown].”””””””””””””””

Big Mike maybe forgot that the Gentle Giant was punching the cop in the face and trying to get his gun which caused the cop to shoot him.

But that is just one of those minor details, no need to dwell on facts and stuff.

Three cops on-site, and one fellow cop killing an innocent man in front of his partners....no way. I smell a rat...The dirty, evil hands of Obama & Soros....”Democrat Party Operating Motto...”Never waste a good crisis or murder when it arises”!!!

And...if you believe any word that Michelle Obama utters in defense of someone other then herself.....come see me, I have a bridge in Brooklyn, New York city....I want to sell you!!!

Gee, Michelle, what about

Roger and Diane Peterson

Mark Gassett, Zack Randalls, David Jackson and Carl Williams

Tessa Majors

to name a few recent, unnoted murders of white people by black men.

Funny how nobody burns down the police stations when that happens. Media usually yawns or celebrates.

Michelle: You might want to start with those of your own race. Just look at all of the “hate whitey” trash you see on social media. It does me no good to do what you suggest (which is a bunch of psychobabble) if hate is the dominant emotion in people born with black skin. It will fester there regardless of what is in my heart.

Mooch doesn’t care about black on black violence except to say that it’s dangerous at night for Senator Barrack to go to a gas station.

So long as we know that people who trade on racism, real and imagined, will never recognize that anything has been accomplished by white people in this regard, all we can do is ignore them.

Hey, former first moose, someone should tell your low IQ a$$ that most racial crime in America is black on white, NOT the other way around!

Any mention, Moochelle, about the elderly white couple who were murdered while visiting their son’s grave by a loser member of YOUR race? Crickets!

Or the elderly white guy beaten in a nursing home by a black thug criminal?

FU, Aunt Esther!

I heard Michelle’s call, and I obeyed. Here what I discovered. Much of today’s racial divide is due to the the guy pictured below. He had eight years to heal that divide. Instead he made it worse.
