She’s had everything in the world handed to her and never knew one day of deprivation and still she’s spouting off.
To: Libloather
She thinks blacks had a secret subway system and who is “our”? Because Barack’s great grand parents did not live this in country

First, as we all know, the Underground Railroad has NOTHING to do with Barak H. Obama, as his ‘Black’ half is Kenyan. About Michelle, I don’t know, but she is not the one running for office, is she!? Second, most all of the ‘Conductors’ on the Underground Railroad were WHITE as were almost all of the Union Soldiers who won the US Civil War.
These people smell bad things and they are pulling out all stops to get their base voters fired-up to go out and vote. I don’t mind so long as it is only once, but of course that makes me a racist!

AND IT WAS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THAT BUILT THAT RAILROAD AND FOUGHT OFF THE DEMOCRAT KKK FOR 100 YEARS UNTIL THEY COULD FINALLY GET ENOUGH NORTHERN DEMS TO VOTE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS.

The first person to own a black slave in North America was a black man named Anthony Johnson and he had to go to court to make it legal for one person to indefinitely own another person. The slave’s name was John Casor. I’ll bet that’s not talked about in any black history class.

When you have a chip on your shoulder, it never falls off. Would that be the underground railroad you took to your AFFIRMATIVE ACTION JOB.

Appearing today before the Congressional Black Caucus, First Lady Michelle Obama proposed that Congress should fund a special project she proposed, in an effort to deepen the connection to important events related to the emancipation of African Americans from slavery.
"I always heard about this underground railroad", she said "but I've been all over the country, and I've never seen one - I assume that's because they're still underground." The First Lady went on to propose a special project for the location and excavation of these long lost historical sites. "Somebody must know where one is" she said. "So we just need to start funding a dig, so we can protect and preserve this important part of our history."
