FLOTUS plays race card: Museums are for white people

First lady Michelle Obama used a speech Monday that was supposed to be celebrating the opening of a new museum to instead dig deeper the racial divide that’s been growing ever wider during her husband’s presidency.

“Museums and concert halls,” she said, just don’t welcome non-white visitors – especially children – the way they welcome whites.

Speaking at the new Whitney museum in New York City’s meat packing district last week, Obama said she grew up thinking that museums were not places “for someone who looks like me.”

Diamond, Missouri has the George Washington Carver National Monument and Museum. She should visit it. He had some things to say about race too, but not in Mr. and Mrs. Obama’s favor.

Sorta’ doubt Lou wants the competition to be honest. She might be forced to hang out in the lobby an eon or 600.

Anyone NOT read that as “Speaking at the new Whitey museum?”

Libraries might be another refuge.

blacks have a terrible inferiority complex, especially the women. They are obssessed with their skin color....they attack each other over how dark one is...the whole “hair” thing...on and on.

Something weird is going on - I thought N&V was the one that complained, but he was the one that posted it.
Probably the admin posted the admonition and there’s a glitch on the site.

Well then, there's always the zoo.

Wrong. What does she want? museums about crack, crime, knockout “game” and gang rape? Would that attract the people who don’t go to museums now?

She’s cuing up museums and concert centers for the loot and burn lists for the riots coming this Summer. Non-black owned businesses were targeted in Baltimore, alleged White cultural centers will make great targets.

She wants less glorification of Western Culture.
It’s similar to why the ME muslim countries cannot stand the presence of Israel,

because, by comparison, Israel’s prosperity points out the utter failure of the Muslim cultures.

They both would rather destroy the evidence of cultural prosperity than they would adopt it.

It’s the same in Europe. I was there last year and visited several museums. I don’t remember seeing any black people in any of them.

Does anyone have a picture of Capt Picard sighing with the caption “Not this $h!t again”, but this is the closest one I can find on the net.

” I see black people at the Symphony and museums all the time. “

The Obamas idea of class and culture is JayZ.

The Whitney “is for white people?” Please enlighten us all how art is racially specific.
