To Michelle and her husband the American way is the racist way and the wrong way. They hate what America stands for. They have warped minds and NEVER should have been elected dog catcher let alone President of the United States.

I was once asked by a little person to get something off a high store shelf.
I'm tall so I did.
At the time I was happy to help, but should I now consider myself a victim of heightism and be angry about it?

Nah!

I like my original attitude much better.

And our Marines - at least the white ones — have to hold umbrellas for the King.

I’m a pretty tall white woman.

Are you "pretty tall" as in "tall in some degree", "moderately tall", "quite tall"...

or...

Are you pretty, and tall?

(Sorry, couldn't help wondering.)

“I roll up my windows in the “bad” neighborhood...just in case a stray bullet comes my way.
Racist or wise?? “

Fearing black people, even dangerous violent coming straight at you is racist.

She was probably wearing red and with that big ass of hers she was hard to miss. So, it was easy to think she was an employee.

The allegations have gone fully into straight up full-blown psychological projection.

The Obama’s have been, and continue to be, the beneficiaries of America’s misguided tendency to apply affirmative action at every level. And they know it.

You know what is racist?

Assuming that when someone asks you for help, it is because you are black.

“I’m sorry, but elections have consequences,”

If it had been just the two of us there and I were a faster thinker, that would have been perfect. But being Hawaii, an me a haole, I do try to maintain some decorum. Negros are not common here, but democrats are.

Heavens knows that nobody of a lesser height than I, has ever asked me to reach something on a higher shelf than they could reach, without it being caused by racism.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard in almost 60 years of life. SO was the he-idiot's accusing people of racism because they mistook him for a valet and asked him to park their car.

RACE IS ALLLLLLLLL THAT BLACKS THINK OF 24/7/365, bank on it!

Do you ask Robert Reich and Tom Daschle to “Stand up” for America?

I’m a tall white female, and am always being asked to reach for something in the supermarket. Always happy to help. Skin color has nothing to do with it.

If I were walking down the street, and saw a group of black women ahead of me — no problem. Same with a group of older black men. And same with a mixed group of black men, women, teens or whatever. But if it is a couple or a group of hoodie kids with their underpants hanging out, and there is no one else around, - I will cross the street. Appearances do matter in a way, especially when there is a history that goes with it.

But that last bit does not match what I am about to say: I have eyes. I can see color. If I am talking with a white, brown, black or yellow person, I can see what color they are. But it is when they open their mouth and start talking, I can see the person for whom they are. Color has nothing to do with it.

I learned that quite well one time when — as an older woman, I was taking a college course. A tall white teen walked in. He was dressed all gothic, had earrings and his hair was swept in a way to get attention. I wondered what he was trying to show. It wasn’t long before I really liked this kid. His appearance - Goth culture to the nth degree, sure belied his personality. He was about the most conservative kid I’ve ever met. Friendly, fun — and very conservative. I learned not to judge by appearance.

Hanging pants and hoodies, tho — makes me think twice.
