Michelle Obama’s barnstorming speech makes case for Clinton and America

[up2u2]

Question is what motivates the voters, fear or hope?

You can see by the two Conventions

Republicans resonate with fear, racism, hate speech, insults, homophobia, violence, bigotry, division.

Democrats resonate with an inclusive Nation, respect and empowerment of women, equal opportunity, shared prosperity, a better future, equal pay, social justice, environment protection, climate change, education, health, a fair wage, less hate and division, gun control, right to choose, criminal justice.

I thought Bills point "If you are Muslim but hate terrorism join with us and fight to defeat it'. It is a message of shared values and a united America against terrorism. United you stand, divided you fall.

I don't think America has had an election where the choice has been any further from each other. It should be a landslide to the Democrats.

".... good fight against the racist, bigoted pig ignorant Republicans.."

gotta admit, this made me laugh. not at the comment but the author

Well - just in case, better have a 'safe space' ready for yourself in Donald wins.

The First Lady's speech was inspiring and uplifting and beautifully executed. Michelle Obama is quite a beautiful woman who speaks from the heart.

Her comments on being an African American woman resident in the White House built by African Slaves and watching her two young African American daughters playing on the White House lawn would have been a poignant moment and as an African woman descendent of slaves that were raped, brutalized, murdered and lynched the scene must have been surreal and reflection of her historical past would have been entirely natural. Her just being there is a triumph of the human spirit and that in the end good will win out over evil, greed and cruelty.

Endorsing Hillary and handing the care of American children to her is instinctively how women think and that will resonate with the women of America. The alternative is Melania a Slovak and lay about 'trophy wife'. Tough choice.

Ha.

Ignorance is no excuse. You have to look back 8 years ago, how she hated being American.

Read between the lines.

The Obamas could have done something to bring America together, but they did absolutely nothing.

I don't know why anyone would applaud either.

Lame!!!

It is a completely ignorant remark, no matter who says it.

[uptheos]

Clinton is a heartless crook, who cares only about Hilary Robem Clinton.

Just looking at her reaction over Benghazi tells me all I need to know about her!

[arjunadawn]

Michelle is emblematic of a nonstop appeal to division, injury, guilt, and false culpability that informs much of the new black militancy in America (thus, her husband championing the New Black Panthers. See "Obama marched with new black panthers"). There is a palpable darkness in her suggestion that whites today are stained and accountable for the distant past. America has and continues to atone for the false path it choose, at a time when the vast majority of the world was on the same path. The corruption of blood she constantly teases in nearly all she says marries perfectly with the concurrent argument of 'White Guilt' - that other humans are guilty by virtue of being born.

Why would time alone be the qualifier for what constitutes a corruption of blood, culpability for ancient crimes? After all, millions of Caucasians where enslaved by Moors, Ottomans, and other Caucasians alike. Jews were enslaved and condemned both in antiquity and recently. Slavery is still a standard and condoned by one of the largest religions in history, and afforded tacit approval in many nations today. Why does Michelle have a claim to some injury of history? Do all of these fractured and injured groups have a right to claim, a right of moral return? Or is this just the mechanics of personal hatred and division?

If ever there was a self evident racism its is her own, couched in not-racism. Michelle percolates and simmers and keeps the low level fever of imaginary injuries ever present in a population of people on earth who were never enslaved, never picked cotton, nor ever abused by "masta." Indeed, vast amounts of black Americans were equally not descended from enslaved peoples. Implicit in accepting Michelle's express racism for whites is a corruption of blood on all white's born today. Worse, as America is a nation of non-stop immigration vast majorities of Americans could not trace an ancestry to this ancient stain even if they wanted- their ancestors were never in America earlier either.

The cry of 'injustice' is a sufficient amulet to silence critique. The mere claim of 'racism' now permits all form of horrible, Rwanda like seeds of rage to be planted, couched in 'truth.' It is not true. It is not Truth. What Michelle and her race baiting sycophants do is permanently inculcate hatred and division. She constantly inserts race into everything.

Michelle Obama is an angry, bitter, militant being who incites hatred and division with a smile and a cultivated "I triumphed" deportment. Our worldview is the conspiracy of all our life experiences and earlier choices to see the world as we declare it should be, rather than as we fear or imagine, and these ingredients form an amalgam of who we are today- our "worldview." Michelle evidences bankruptcy both of reason and morality. She is not a champion. She is an agitator in the spirit of Alinsky and her... you guessed it, husband.

Or she could just be the first African American woman to live in the White House built by slaves and see her Black children playing on the White House lawn and reflecting on her Peoples history. It would be inconceivable that the point was not made. There are many racist White folk who cannot accept that an inferior race like an African American can be in the White House. Well she certainly did triumph. Your attack of Michelle says more about you than it does about her.

It is not surprising that someone who has benefited from White Privilege is unable to comprehend Black Voices. Such voices are informed by their past and present. Naturally they present a different perspective; one that is incomprehensible to those who lack the ability to empathize or understand.

Such people will be the reason why racial issues will be difficult to resolve in America. Such people expect all non whites to assimilate to the white culture. This is their interpretation of 'melting pot'. Once assimilated, then non white history is erased, irrelevant and immaterial. Thus there should be no recourse to the sins of the past. Even if those sins are prevalent in the present. This 'Assimilationist' view of racial reconciliation is a cultural cul-de-sac. It leads nowhere but th maintenance of the privilege that its exponents crave.

Racial reconciliation will not happen until systems and institutions provide equal treatment for all. People can retain their individual and personal likes and dislikes; not liking the 'cut of one's jib' so to speak, but an immigrant society must ensure that the privileges and benefits derived from history and confined to one group are available to all.

The bankruptcy of morality and reason lies with those who wish to maintain the oppression, degradation and marginalisation of th non conformist. I stand on the side of the first Black President and his magnificent, fulfilling and inclusive oratory introducing the first female candidate for President in history. How ironic that it takes a black man, or to descend to the miscegenation of the nasties, a half black man, to define what modern America is and will be.

The White House was built by dead people.

Black people in America are NOT all descendants of slaves. Those that are, now live a much better life than had they been born in Africa.

Constantly bringing this up in this one-sided manner, IS divisive. Does Michelle think she's a descendant of a slave? If so, can she prove that? If not - what is her point? There is obviously ample opportunity for people of all races in America judging by what she and her husband achieved.

It's in the past. Time to put it to bed.

PMSL - "White Privilege" - what a sick concept that is. That all white people are by default racist because they benefit from white privilege.

That whole concept is complete nonsense and is simply used in a lame attempt to stifle discussion.

Look at your post "such people" can't do this. "such people" can't understand that. That is divisive, offensive nonsense.

As for "equal treatment for all" - who is not treated equally in 2016? Aaaaaaah - white privilege is an automatic assumption of better treatment.

Victim culture at it's finest.

Cue the outrage, bluster and bile when the vanity of the oppressor is pricked.

How dare he! Doesn't he know the blacks live better now because their ancestors were brought to America as slaves. Without this, they would still be in the jungles of Africa with nothing but their heritage, their ancestry and their culture to sustain them. They just don't know that double car garages and endless Xanax prescriptions are the height of civilization.

Another one who cannot listen to black voices without the shame of history and fear of loss of privilege emerging as vile, base and reactionary denial. You are the ones painting non conformists and non whites as victims. Such peoples have and continue to reclaim their dignity. They reclaim the language that the oppressors used to use to define them. You have the guts to go to a black person and call them nigger? To a gay person and call them Fag? To a Latino and call them Spic? Well?

There are only a few places where such behavior continues, social media being one of them. Anonymity allowing coarse and low individuals to hurl slurs at the First Lady such as 'lipstick on a pig'; for continued unceasing and relentless calls to arms against the perceived descent of society as a result of the politics of inclusion.

It is now Right Wing PC to play the victim. Now that the oppressed are reclaiming their dignity, the oppressor now claims a 'Right' to free speech; a claim to 'Entitlement' to opinions that others may not share; a 'Privilege' in society that is based on history rather than merit. No. No Victims here among the non conformists. Only the White Right claim Victimhood now. It was loud and clear last week. An only one man claims to be able to ease the fears and desperation of the old privileged; the 'ancien regime'.

No surprise that you cannot deal with the First Lady's prick to your ego. Tough.

It leads nowhere but th maintenance of the privilege that its exponents crave.

Racial reconciliation will not happen until systems and institutions provide equal treatment for all. People can retain their individual and personal likes and dislikes; not liking the 'cut of one's jib' so to speak, but an immigrant society must ensure that the privileges and benefits derived from history and confined to one group are available to all.

The bankruptcy of morality and reason lies with those who wish to maintain the oppression, degradation and marginalisation of th non conformist. I stand on the side of the first Black President and his magnificent, fulfilling and inclusive oratory introducing the first female candidate for President in history. How ironic that it takes a black man, or to descend to the miscegenation of the nasties, a half black man, to define what modern America is and will be.

PMSL - "White Privilege" - what a sick concept that is. That all white people are by default racist because they benefit from white privilege.

That whole concept is complete nonsense and is simply used in a lame attempt to stifle discussion.

Look at your post "such people" can't do this. "such people" can't understand that. That is divisive, offensive nonsense.

As for "equal treatment for all" - who is not treated equally in 2016? Aaaaaaah - white privilege is an automatic assumption of better treatment.

Victim culture at it's finest.

Cue the outrage, bluster and bile when the vanity of the oppressor is pricked.

How dare he! Doesn't he know the blacks live better now because their ancestors were brought to America as slaves. Without this, they would still be in the jungles of Africa with nothing but their heritage, their ancestry and their culture to sustain them. They just don't know that double car garages and endless Xanax prescriptions are the height of civilization.

Another one who cannot listen to black voices without the shame of history and fear of loss of privilege emerging as vile, base and reactionary denial. You are the ones painting non conformists and non whites as victims. Such peoples have and continue to reclaim their dignity. They reclaim the language that the oppressors used to use to define them. You have the guts to go to a black person and call them nigger? To a gay person and call them Fag? To a Latino and call them Spic? Well?

There are only a few places where such behavior continues, social media being one of them. Anonymity allowing coarse and low individuals to hurl slurs at the First Lady such as 'lipstick on a pig'; for continued unceasing and relentless calls to arms against the perceived descent of society as a result of the politics of inclusion.

It is now Right Wing PC to play the victim. Now that the oppressed are reclaiming their dignity, the oppressor now claims a 'Right' to free speech; a claim to 'Entitlement' to opinions that others may not share; a 'Privilege' in society that is based on history rather than merit. No. No Victims here among the non conformists. Only the White Right claim Victimhood now. It was loud and clear last week. An only one man claims to be able to ease the fears and desperation of the old privileged; the 'ancien regime'.

No surprise that you cannot deal with the First Lady's prick to your ego. Tough.

The oppressor? You don't like to get too far in a post before accusing people of oppression/hatred and Xenophobia do you?

As for calling black people "nigger" - actually, I usually just use their first name or nickname. Not sure why you thin it takes "guts" to do such a thing. I guess that says a lot about you really.

Your arguments have been proven null and void. You then fall back to the usual liberal nonsense of accusing people of stuff and calling then names.

Come back when you have a few counterpoints and can have a discussion about the post and not the poster.

Michelle is emblematic of a nonstop appeal to division, injury, guilt, and false culpability that informs much of the new black militancy in America (thus, her husband championing the New Black Panthers. See "Obama marched with new black panthers"). There is a palpable darkness in her suggestion that whites today are stained and accountable for the distant past. America has and continues to atone for the false path it choose, at a time when the vast majority of the world was on the same path. The corruption of blood she constantly teases in nearly all she says marries perfectly with the concurrent argument of 'White Guilt' - that other humans are guilty by virtue of being born.

Why would time alone be the qualifier for what constitutes a corruption of blood, culpability for ancient crimes? After all, millions of Caucasians where enslaved by Moors, Ottomans, and other Caucasians alike. Jews were enslaved and condemned both in antiquity and recently. Slavery is still a standard and condoned by one of the largest religions in history, and afforded tacit approval in many nations today. Why does Michelle have a claim to some injury of history? Do all of these fractured and injured groups have a right to claim, a right of moral return? Or is this just the mechanics of personal hatred and division?

If ever there was a self evident racism its is her own, couched in not-racism. Michelle percolates and simmers and keeps the low level fever of imaginary injuries ever present in a population of people on earth who were never enslaved, never picked cotton, nor ever abused by "masta." Indeed, vast amounts of black Americans were equally not descended from enslaved peoples. Implicit in accepting Michelle's express racism for whites is a corruption of blood on all white's born today. Worse, as America is a nation of non-stop immigration vast majorities of Americans could not trace an ancestry to this ancient stain even if they wanted- their ancestors were never in America earlier either.

The cry of 'injustice' is a sufficient amulet to silence critique. The mere claim of 'racism' now permits all form of horrible, Rwanda like seeds of rage to be planted, couched in 'truth.' It is not true. It is not Truth. What Michelle and her race baiting sycophants do is permanently inculcate hatred and division. She constantly inserts race into everything.

Michelle Obama is an angry, bitter, militant being who incites hatred and division with a smile and a cultivated "I triumphed" deportment. Our worldview is the conspiracy of all our life experiences and earlier choices to see the world as we declare it should be, rather than as we fear or imagine, and these ingredients form an amalgam of who we are today- our "worldview." Michelle evidences bankruptcy both of reason and morality. She is not a champion. She is an agitator in the spirit of Alinsky and her... you guessed it, husband.

It is not surprising that someone who has benefited from White Privilege is unable to comprehend Black Voices. Such voices are informed by their past and present. Naturally they present a different perspective; one that is incomprehensible to those who lack the ability to empathize or understand.

Such people will be the reason why racial issues will be difficult to resolve in America. Such people expect all non whites to assimilate to the white culture. This is their interpretation of 'melting pot'. Once assimilated, then non white history is erased, irrelevant and immaterial. Thus there should be no recourse to the sins of the past.

Or she could just be the first African American woman to live in the White House built by slaves and see her Black children playing on the White House lawn and reflecting on her Peoples history. It would be inconceivable that the point was not made. There are many racist White folk who cannot accept that an inferior race like an African American can be in the White House. Well she certainly did triumph. Your attack of Michelle says more about you than it does about her.

The White House was built by dead people.

Black people in America are NOT all descendants of slaves. Those that are, now live a much better life than had they been born in Africa.

Constantly bringing this up in this one-sided manner, IS divisive. Does Michelle think she's a descendant of a slave? If so, can she prove that? If not - what is her point? There is obviously ample opportunity for people of all races in America judging by what she and her husband achieved.

It's in the past. Time to put it to bed.

It would not be inconceivable for the first black lady of the usa to AVOID commenting on slaves and white house. However, suggesting there is an imperative to at least do this once due to the gravity and solemnity of the occasion over looks a very important fact: Michelle Obama has repeatedly offered this refrain. For years she has offered this same line and numerous others to conspire her tightly weaved, closely held, deep antipathy for people not like her.

Is her assertion she is a slave descendant as absurd as Warren's that she is a powwow girl? BS. Show me the proof. Its hate couched as not-hate!

*, who would ever offer such words as "...an inferior race of like african americans...?" Even in satire or parody i could not muster that into a sentence; on circumspection alone I could not easily slide that into my musing.

*, The party of racism and eugenics in the US is Michelle's party; this is an utter fact. From slavery to jim crowe to opposing the civil rights act, it was her own party. Those things I believe have died and struggled to represent all americans for a very long time. From the civil war to 2016, Americans consistently fight against racism and stereotypes and most of them are not in Michelle's party.

Yes, I wear proudly that my indictment of michelle says more about me. I earnestly hope so.

I am not white. I have never in my entire life mentally envisioned the race of a person on the other end of a post; why would a human do this? For what reason might someone calculate their rational response to another relative to the imagined color of another person's skin?

Never...I am LMFAO now because fewer things make my point so clearly as the above racism insinuation. The left cultivates race and where facts fail, they drive on blindly. I am not white! (Now I recall why this poster is blocked)

White privilege is a corruption of blood, blood libel. It is the most antithetical concept to free and reasoned things possible. Corruption of blood is no different then slavery, in formula, just application.

There are fewer ways to note the deplorable mentality of a human, their reason on display to be considered fully, then offer "white privilege" in a sentence. It is very Rwanda-like, machete, balkanize, eugenics-like concept. Only a depraved psyche would find comfort in such a notion. How one can scream "NOT-RACE" for indicting another race for being born is the nadir of leftist thinking. Humanity offers few examples of such an equally vacuous assertion (but there are a few, and also kin of the left).

In any event, Michelle is an unremarkable human being and afforded adulation because she stands in the aura of cult of personality- her man. I don't do cult of personality and have no room for the otherwise mediocre; she is both, bearing the light of another's aura, and mediocre. Indeed, her single most well known endeavor is an abominable failure and has kids repulsed and protesting in cafeterias across America.

Her husband, who I equally detest, actually is a remarkable human being (in the same way that even bad guys make it to Time Mag cover) and like him or not is due his place in history, for better or worse. That man has carved a place in history, he simply is... worthy of a degree of hat tipping, even as foe. Michelle? She has nothing. She married some guy and had kids. She variously agitated for race all her life. If it is offered she is entitled to a measure of accolade because she is the president's wife... Ah... Wrong! No, she is not. She is simply...unremarkable except in an unpleasant nature.

[Credo]

She gave an inspiring and truthful speech. She is a credit to her race and to her country.

[MajarTheLion]

Ezzra, correct me if I'm wrong as I'm making a bit of a guess here... but from the tenor of your previous posts, I'm assuming you're Jewish.

So my question to you is this; have you yourself successfully let go the massive, almost incomprehensible trials and tribulations your people suffered in just the last century alone? I would be very much amazed if you have.

Because if I was Jewish, and not just a country hick from the Bush of Australia, I would NEVER forget what the Jewish people have historically endured. And I would be ever vigilant to ensure that it never happens again, in any form or fashion.

Could I forgive? Possibly. Could I forget? Never. I would hazard the guess that it is a similar situation for the majority of African Americans today, whatever we as non-African Americans may think or say.

I'm part Cherokee Indian. Should I walk around pissed off and with a chip on my shoulder because of what the US government has done and continues to do to Native Americans?

That doesn't sound very productive to me.

In the case of blacks, it is statistical fact their biggest danger is other blacks. It seems to me some prioritization is in order.

[MajarTheLion]

You can see by the two Conventions

Republicans resonate with fear, racism, hate speech, insults, homophobia, violence, bigotry, division.

Democrats resonate with an inclusive Nation, respect and empowerment of women, equal opportunity, shared prosperity, a better future, equal pay, social justice, environment protection, climate change, education, health, a fair wage, less hate and division, gun control, right to choose, criminal justice.

I thought Bills point "If you are Muslim but hate terrorism join with us and fight to defeat it'. It is a message of shared values and a united America against terrorism. United you stand, divided you fall.

I don't think America has had an election where the choice has been any further from each other. It should be a landslide to the Democrats.

"Shared prosperity"- what a wonderful and eloquent way of saying you want to take from people who produce and give it to those who don't.

That said, I am all for helping those truly in need. For example, do 43,000,000 people need to be on food stamps? There are a few answers:

Yes, the Obama economy is that bad.

No, paying people to not produce is fine.

Or a mixture of the two.

Of course, we could ask about welfare subsidies to build cars for affluent people and other scams as well.

[Freakin Musashi]

The First Lady's speech was inspiring and uplifting and beautifully executed. Michelle Obama is quite a beautiful woman who speaks from the heart.

Her comments on being an African American woman resident in the White House built by African Slaves and watching her two young African American daughters playing on the White House lawn would have been a poignant moment and as an African woman descendent of slaves that were raped, brutalized, murdered and lynched the scene must have been surreal and reflection of her historical past would have been entirely natural. Her just being there is a triumph of the human spirit and that in the end good will win out over evil, greed and cruelty.

Endorsing Hillary and handing the care of American children to her is instinctively how women think and that will resonate with the women of America. The alternative is Melania a Slovak and lay about 'trophy wife'. Tough choice.

I think that was her point. Thank you for looking to the positive, rather than questioning whether her ancestors benefited from being enslaved...

I think PTC won't recover from that one.

PTC presumes that anyone that disagrees with Michelle Obama must be white. Why would a non-white person disagree with anything she said?

I'm looking forward to watching him worm out of this one. My guess - he'll now try to discover your ethnicity hoping that you are both non-white and non-African American. Then he can return to his spiel because you can be a Nazi again.

PMSL - "White Privilege" - what a sick concept that is. That all white people are by default racist because they benefit from white privilege.

That whole concept is complete nonsense and is simply used in a lame attempt to stifle discussion.

Look at your post "such people" can't do this. "such people" can't understand that. That is divisive, offensive nonsense.

As for "equal treatment for all" - who is not treated equally in 2016? Aaaaaaah - white privilege is an automatic assumption of better treatment.

Victim culture at it's finest.

Cue the outrage, bluster and bile when the vanity of the oppressor is pricked.

How dare he! Doesn't he know the blacks live better now because their ancestors were brought to America as slaves. Without this, they would still be in the jungles of Africa with nothing but their heritage, their ancestry and their culture to sustain them. They just don't know that double car garages and endless Xanax prescriptions are the height of civilization.

Another one who cannot listen to black voices without the shame of history and fear of loss of privilege emerging as vile, base and reactionary denial. You are the ones painting non conformists and non whites as victims. Such peoples have and continue to reclaim their dignity. They reclaim the language that the oppressors used to use to define them. You have the guts to go to a black person and call them nigger? To a gay person and call them Fag? To a Latino and call them Spic? Well?

There are only a few places where such behavior continues, social media being one of them. Anonymity allowing coarse and low individuals to hurl slurs at the First Lady such as 'lipstick on a pig'; for continued unceasing and relentless calls to arms against the perceived descent of society as a result of the politics of inclusion.

It is now Right Wing PC to play the victim. Now that the oppressed are reclaiming their dignity, the oppressor now claims a 'Right' to free speech; a claim to 'Entitlement' to opinions that others may not share; a 'Privilege' in society that is based on history rather than merit. No. No Victims here among the non conformists. Only the White Right claim Victimhood now. It was loud and clear last week. An only one man claims to be able to ease the fears and desperation of the old privileged; the 'ancien regime'.

No surprise that you cannot deal with the First Lady's prick to your ego. Tough.

The oppressor? You don't like to get too far in a post before accusing people of oppression/hatred and Xenophobia do you?

As for calling black people "nigger" - actually, I usually just use their first name or nickname. Not sure why you thin it takes "guts" to do such a thing. I guess that says a lot about you really.

Your arguments have been proven null and void. You then fall back to the usual liberal nonsense of accusing people of stuff and calling then names.

Come back when you have a few counterpoints and can have a discussion about the post and not the poster.

Deflection. I guess that way you don't actually need to say anything meaningful. You seem to have the sense that by virtue of your unilateral decree that you may void a statement or point of argument. Is this some extension of your Master complex? You do not see the need to actually demonstrate by logic or evidence the actuality of your statement?

It stands confirmed that the issue is too far beyond you. Let others do the heavy lifting on this one. Oh.... I see by later posts that you have already done so.

I think PTC won't recover from that one.

PTC presumes that anyone that disagrees with Michelle Obama must be white. Why would a non-white person disagree with anything she said?

I'm looking forward to watching him worm out of this one. My guess - he'll now try to discover your ethnicity hoping that you are both non-white and non-African American. Then he can return to his spiel because you can be a Nazi again.

I think we (me at least) have taken this OP to the far reaches. There is nothing further to say without going off topic or risking inflammation. Thank you.

Michelle is emblematic of a nonstop appeal to division, injury, guilt, and false culpability that informs much of the new black militancy in America (thus, her husband championing the New Black Panthers. See "Obama marched with new black panthers"). There is a palpable darkness in her suggestion that whites today are stained and accountable for the distant past. America has and continues to atone for the false path it choose, at a time when the vast majority of the world was on the same path. The corruption of blood she constantly teases in nearly all she says marries perfectly with the concurrent argument of 'White Guilt' - that other humans are guilty by virtue of being born.

Why would time alone be the qualifier for what constitutes a corruption of blood, culpability for ancient crimes? After all, millions of Caucasians where enslaved by Moors, Ottomans, and other Caucasians alike. Jews were enslaved and condemned both in antiquity and recently. Slavery is still a standard and condoned by one of the largest religions in history, and afforded tacit approval in many nations today. Why does Michelle have a claim to some injury of history? Do all of these fractured and injured groups have a right to claim, a right of moral return? Or is this just the mechanics of personal hatred and division?

If ever there was a self evident racism its is her own, couched in not-racism. Michelle percolates and simmers and keeps the low level fever of imaginary injuries ever present in a population of people on earth who were never enslaved, never picked cotton, nor ever abused by "masta." Indeed, vast amounts of black Americans were equally not descended from enslaved peoples. Implicit in accepting Michelle's express racism for whites is a corruption of blood on all white's born today. Worse, as America is a nation of non-stop immigration vast majorities of Americans could not trace an ancestry to this ancient stain even if they wanted- their ancestors were never in America earlier either.

The cry of 'injustice' is a sufficient amulet to silence critique. The mere claim of 'racism' now permits all form of horrible, Rwanda like seeds of rage to be planted, couched in 'truth.' It is not true. It is not Truth. What Michelle and her race baiting sycophants do is permanently inculcate hatred and division. She constantly inserts race into everything.

Michelle Obama is an angry, bitter, militant being who incites hatred and division with a smile and a cultivated "I triumphed" deportment. Our worldview is the conspiracy of all our life experiences and earlier choices to see the world as we declare it should be, rather than as we fear or imagine, and these ingredients form an amalgam of who we are today- our "worldview." Michelle evidences bankruptcy both of reason and morality. She is not a champion. She is an agitator in the spirit of Alinsky and her... you guessed it, husband.

It is not surprising that someone who has benefited from White Privilege is unable to comprehend Black Voices. Such voices are informed by their past and present. Naturally they present a different perspective; one that is incomprehensible to those who lack the ability to empathize or understand.

Such people will be the reason why racial issues will be difficult to resolve in America. Such people expect all non whites to assimilate to the white culture. This is their interpretation of 'melting pot'. Once assimilated, then non white history is erased, irrelevant and immaterial. Thus there should be no recourse to the sins of the past. Even if those sins are prevalent in the present. This 'Assimilationist' view of racial reconciliation is a cultural cul-de-sac. It leads nowhere but th maintenance of the privilege that its exponents crave.

Racial reconciliation will not happen until systems and institutions provide equal treatment for all. People can retain their individual and personal likes and dislikes; not liking the 'cut of one's jib' so to speak, but an immigrant society must ensure that the privileges and benefits derived from history and confined to one group are available to all.

The bankruptcy of morality and reason lies with those who wish to maintain the oppression, degradation and marginalisation of th non conformist. I stand on the side of the first Black President and his magnificent, fulfilling and inclusive oratory introducing the first female candidate for President in history. How ironic that it takes a black man, or to descend to the miscegenation of the nasties, a half black man, to define what modern America is and will be.

I am not white. I have never in my entire life mentally envisioned the race of a person on the other end of a post; why would a human do this? For what reason might someone calculate their rational response to another relative to the imagined color of another person's skin?

Never...I am LMFAO now because fewer things make my point so clearly as the above racism insinuation. The left cultivates race and where facts fail, they drive on blindly. I am not white! (Now I recall why this poster is blocked)

White privilege is a corruption of blood, blood libel. It is the most antithetical concept to free and reasoned things possible. Corruption of blood is no different then slavery, in formula, just application.

There are fewer ways to note the deplorable mentality of a human, their reason on display to be considered fully, then offer "white privilege" in a sentence. It is very Rwanda-like, machete, balkanize, eugenics-like concept. Only a depraved psyche would find comfort in such a notion. How one can scream "NOT-RACE" for indicting another race for being born is the nadir of leftist thinking. Humanity offers few examples of such an equally vacuous assertion (but there are a few, and also kin of the left).

In any event, Michelle is an unremarkable human being and afforded adulation because she stands in the aura of cult of personality- her man. I don't do cult of personality and have no room for the otherwise mediocre; she is both, bearing the light of another's aura, and mediocre. Indeed, her single most well known endeavor is an abominable failure and has kids repulsed and protesting in cafeterias across America.

Her husband, who I equally detest, actually is a remarkable human being (in the same way that even bad guys make it to Time Mag cover) and like him or not is due his place in history, for better or worse. That man has carved a place in history, he simply is... worthy of a degree of hat tipping, even as foe. Michelle? She has nothing. She married some guy and had kids. She variously agitated for race all her life. If it is offered she is entitled to a measure of accolade because she is the president's wife... Ah... Wrong! No, she is not. She is simply...unremarkable except in an unpleasant nature.

Who said you were white? Your skin color has no bearing on this issue. You speak as a product of a system and a set of institutions that marginalize minorities including non whites. There are many non whites who participate whole-heartedly in the maintenance of this system. As a product of this system, you are unable to hear Black Voices. You may well be Black yourself and still unable to hear Michelle Obama's voice. Your derision and scorn is palpable. But you are not Black. Of that, I am certain but as I said, it does not matter.

Offering the dullard thesis of the Left as emotional provides you no cover. I do not reference emotion. I do not discuss personal likes and dislikes. I state this specifically. I refer to systems and institutions. America was built on slavery. The mentality that allows for the enslavement of other humans forms part of the very DNA of America and its institutions and contribute to the the marginalization of non-whites and non conformists to this day. Nothing emotional about this statement. It can be verified by reams of statistics and data about the demographics of poverty, crime, lower educational opportunity etc.

Despite the many programs intended to redress these issues, such marginalization persists. It is clear that those who control and benefit from the system and institutions that marginalize minorities must be willing to accept Minority Voices. I have written before my belief that until the answer to Black Lives Matter is Yes, unequivocally and without caveats or 'yes buts', then a person is not ready to confront racism and there will be no chance of reconciliation. The first lesson that is learned in anti-racism classes is to confront one's own racism. until that is done, you cannot move to the 2nd lesson.

I do not address your clear dislike of Michelle Obama. That is your prerogative. I do not address the word salad of outrage against someone daring to confront the language of the oppressor. I certainly do not follow the bizarre and quite incendiary path with the 'blood libel' thing which has centuries of quite vile and vicious history behind it. To raise it in response to an argument about racism and white privilege is, to be frank, massive over-reach.

You say there is an insinuation of racism? yet I did not call you racist. You reveal what your skin color is not. Why? It would seem that you claim the 'right' to appeal to emotion, something that you accuse the Left of doing. There was no name calling. Your out of control response to the term White Privilege is both emotive and illogical. This is compounded by more unverifiable insinuations. So in the end, I believe my point is proven. That there can be no progress on racial reconciliation until those who are invested in the system that I refer to as White Privilege are willing and able to hear Minority Voices. This has nothing to do with your skin color or whether you like or dislike an individual of whatever race, creed or religion.
