Michelle Obama: Talk about race
POLITICO ^ | 5/16/14 | LUCY MCCALMONT

Posted on 05/16/2014 5:35:33 PM PDT by mdittmar

Marking the 60th anniversary of the historic Brown vs. Board of Education ruling, First Lady Michelle Obama said on Friday that racial and other prejudices still plague the nation and she called on young people to lead the way forward.

“This issue is so sensitive, it’s so complicated, so bound up with a painful history,” Obama told soon-to-be graduating high school seniors in Topeka, Kansas—the city that was at the center of the Supreme Court’s decision. “No matter what you do, the point is to never be afraid to talk about these issues, particularly the issue of race, because even today, we still struggle to do that.”

Hey Mooch,
Your entire administration and MSM do nothing but talk about race by calling me, and everyone else that opposes you, racists.

painful history....came here in chains.... these trigger expressions indicate to me she really doesn’t want to have a conversation.

To have a conversation one must address the issues of black mob violence taught from the breast by those who feel they are owed a debt beyond the offering of a million lives, beyond the repatriation efforts that created Liberia and passports. Beyond the affirmative action eduction grants, the job preferences, the entitlement programs for food, housing, clothing, transportation, phones and tvs that take up 38% of all federal spending. How did peaceful slaves turn into knockout-game killers within 200 years? And what is the black community going to do about it? That is the conversation we should have but we won’t.

Until she and her husband came on the scene, people weren’t preoccupied with race. Now it permeates into every black’s life....I wonder if they’re proud of themselves for digging up old grudges and making the younger black generation dwell on them and become as hateful toward the white race as they are? Guess it’s their sole goal. Well, besides destroying the United States that is.

One promise kept - TRANSPARENCY!

Michelle, I have looked at the content of your character and it is uglier than you are.

We don’t need to talk about race. Someones race is inconsequential

We need to talk about behavior

The negative behaviors that are excused as “Culture”

The negative behaviors that are celebrated as “Culture”

The behaviors that keep an entire group of people stifled under the belief that handouts are part of their “Culture”

“Culture” or “Race” should not be used to wash away being animals. Feral creatures. It is behavior and behavior is voluntary.

They need to just plain stop talking about “Race” and just start behaving as people, part of the greater wonder of the human experiment instead of trying to bring humans down to their level.

It’s hard to have a conversation when one side of the issue is off limits. Sorry, mooch - no sale.

Obama’s sons.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wichita_Massacre

The Wichita Massacre, also known as The Wichita Horror,[1] was a murder/assault/rape/robbery spree perpetrated by brothers Reginald and Jonathan Carr against several people in the city of Wichita, Kansas in December 2000. The Carrs killed five people and a dog. A sixth victim, a woman known as HG, survived a gunshot wound to the head. The crimes shocked Wichitans, and purchases of guns, locks, and home security systems subsequently skyrocketed in the city.[2] The brothers were tried, convicted and sentenced to death in October 2002.

Who let this dog off its leash? We haven’t heard from her in four years because of her vacation schedule. Now all the sudden she’s got a lot to say about everything.

White on Black racism is very low...while Black on White is at an all time high as well as Black on Latino, Asian and LGBT. Latino Racism against Blacks is at an all time high. Asian racism against Blacks is also high. Whites just get the blame.

Murders of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom

Channon Gail Christian, 21, and Hugh Christopher Newsom, Jr., 23, were a couple from Knoxville, Tennessee. They were raped, tortured, and murdered after being kidnapped the evening of January 6, 2007 when Christian's vehicle was carjacked.[1][2] Five people were arrested and charged in the case. The grand jury indicted four of the suspects on counts of capital murder, robbery, kidnapping, rape, and theft, while a fifth was indicted at the federal level.

They don't mention the races.

So make sure that you can get a white person to talk about race.

We can then take his property, his money and soon, real soon, we'll be able to take their worthless lives. So make sure that you get white people to talk about race...
