This discussion was necessary after the grand jury decisions on Michael Brown and Eric Garner that had nothing to do with racism. People reported:
The protective bubble that comes with the presidency the armored limo, the Secret Service detail, the White House shields Barack and Michelle Obama from a lot of unpleasantness. But their encounters with racial prejudice arent as far in the past as one might expect. And they obviously still sting.
I think people forget that weve lived in the White House for six years, the first lady told PEOPLE, laughing wryly, along with her husband, at the assumption that the first family has been largely insulated from coming face-to-face with racism.
Before that, Barack Obama was a black man that lived on the South Side of Chicago, who had his share of troubles catching cabs, Mrs. Obama said in the Dec. 10 interview appearing in the new issue of PEOPLE.
I tell this story I mean, even as the first lady during that wonderfully publicized trip I took to Target, not highly disguised, the only person who came up to me in the store was a woman who asked me to help her take something off a shelf. Because she didnt see me as the first lady, she saw me as someone who could help her. Those kinds of things happen in life. So it isnt anything new.
In a 30-minute conversation, the president and Mrs. Obama candidly added their stories to the national discussion of race and racial profiling that was sparked by the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in Staten Island, New York.

“I think people forget that weve lived in the White House for six years,
Trust me, I haven’t.
Oh holy hell, you freaking wench. I have helped people small or elderly in a grocery store reach things 1000 times. I have asked strangers — tall strangers -— if they could reach something for ME. Where I live, people in the helping professions aren’t automatically black, like in the racist enclaves you seem to frequent. Also, if you didn’t have a freaking red shirt on, the woman did not think you were an employee. She saw a very tall woman, that is all, bitch.
Barack had no trouble at all hopping into the limousines of wealthy gay white men, back in the day.
Most cities you find few white cab drivers but you will find————
Pakis
Afghanistanis
Haitians (like Miami)
Nigerians
other Africans
Blame their “racism” or what have you for not picking up hoody looking young black males
Just kidding.
The victims here are millions of Americans.
It’s called canine profiling.
I read her account and started laughing...she's trying to equate her height with race. What an idiot.
Ha! I'm a 6 ft tall female and I've been asked or I've offered many times to assist an elderly person retrieve an item off the top shelf at Walmart or the grocery store.
Geez, I feel so discriminated against because I'm white and tall...oh the humanity!(/sarc)
Seriously, I'm blessed with height and I'm only glad to help those who cannot reach things they need.
I’m starting to think these two would have been locked away back when we locked people away. For being insane, not black and half black.
Funny how every time I catch a cab in Chicago, the driver seems to be a recent African, Arab, or Indian immigrant.
They’re both leftwing communists & racists in a beard “marriage”.
So, if that person had ignored her and waited on a white person to come by, would Moochelle have also called her racist?
It’s not just Michelle Obama busted here; it’s a big part of the whole racial grievance paradigm that’s exposed. “It happened to me because I’m black.” No, it happened because that’s life.
I ca’t recall where it was posted, Townhall perhaps, but there was a very interesting article about how the progressives don’t really know what truth is. They basically live in a fantasy world and their words are essentially stories they make up to match their version of reality.
This story of Michelle’s is a case in point.
I’m 6’3”, and have been asked by short women on numerous occasions to grab an item from a high shelf. They say thank you, I say you’re welcome, and that’s that.
As usual, Mooch looks miserable.............because?
1. SS made her carry her own bag
2. The disguise hat is hurting her head.
3. has to push her own cart
4. No one recognized her at Target
5. Her sunglasses make everyone look black.
6. Some short white person thought she worked there.
They make themselves MORE irrelevant with every single lie they tell...
If that lie wasn’t bad enough, try 0’s lie. A guy walks up to the President of the United States with an outstretched hand with ‘something’ in it.
In the real world, the guy would be on the way to the morgue.
