Michelle Obama’s commencement speech at Tuskegee Institute was a shameless litany of all the problems Blacks HAD over their history in America and those she felt had personally harmed her.

Washington, a man who recognized the opportunities that were presented to him, other former slaves and their decedents in post-Civil War America. Washington was a leader of the African American community until his death in 1915.

If he was alive today Washington would be revolted by Michelle Obama’s “Woe is me and thee” speech, given at his beloved Tuskegee Institute.

I like the way Mo, “O”, and Sharpton, etc. act like there have NOT been literally BILLIONS thrown at minorities in America over the past several decades... and that there are not NOW BILLIONS still thrown at minorities in the US.
AS IF MORE money will resolve the matter. Really?
After 4+ decades and all the billions, if you ain’t got it together... you have been asleep!
Well, is it that much different from a spacecraft?
Saul Alinsky like....
actually the truth is Trillions ... with a ‘T’ but the progressives love to claim only Billions ... with a ‘B’ ... Lord I wish that I was stoned ... The truth makes one feel so alone!
Live Long and Prosper ... but keep the progressives out of your pocketbook, if that is your intent!
sounds liberal and out there ....
There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public.
HELLOOO democrat party and the king huckster Obama.

f’n unbelievable., no end to this crap.
Living Long and being able to Prosper ... means America you must keep liberals out of your pocketbooks ....
The most privileged individual in this country. Generous benefits and perks, and no obligation to lift a finger to do any work. She gets to boss people around and look down her nose with scorn at the working people while enjoying lush vacations at our expense.
She hates this country, just like her husband.
Obama and Moosechelle have the race card in their back pocket...when all else fails don’t look at my crappy job performance look at them racists keepin you all down...
All those who want to blame “Whitey” for their problems should ask themselves where would “Whitey” be if all those who hate “Whitey” disappeared and, on the other hand, where would they be if “Whitey” disappeared. I simply pose the question, I envision an answer but I won’t post it.
all the horse’s snorting fire?
cathedrals of sorry ... True enough ... May Our Free Republic Stand Forever! May the Truth forever be kept!
How about being thankful for the opportunity to prosper - what would be the odds still in Africa?
Not condoning the way many arrived here, but through the faithfulness of those who love freedom, the opportunities are immeasurable - capitalize on them, folks, stop the pity party, victim mentality, and soar !
Amen! and Welcome the One Hundred Million Angels Singing ... Amen!!!
