First Lady Michelle Obama talked about America as she visited a school today in China. She talked about the American dream:
And my story isn’t unusual in America. Some of our most famous athletes, like LeBron James, and artists, like the singer Janelle Monae, came from struggling families like mine, as do many business leaders -- like Howard Schultz. He’s the head of a company called Starbucks, which many of you may have heard of. When Mr. Schultz was a boy his father lost his job, leaving their family destitute. But Mr. Schultz worked hard. He got a scholarship to a university, and eventually built the largest coffeehouse company in the world.
And then there’s this other guy I know who was raised by a single mother who sometimes struggled to afford food for their family. But like me, this guy got scholarships and loans to attend universities. He became a lawyer and a professor, and then he was a state senator and then a national senator. And then, he became President of the United States. This guy I’m talking about is my husband, Barack Obama. (Applause.)
Because of the constant brainwashing against the freedom to discriminate, people's consciences have been trained to believe there's something wrong with the choice to exclude a person or a group. So a major hurdle is to correct and mend this evil (guilty) conscience individually and collectively, as a society.
Martin Luther King (MLK) was a strong influence to forward this evil conscience about discrimination - an individual's right to choose associations. MLK confused the individual morality issue of choosing to exclude blacks with the legal and constitutional issue of the federal government's power and authority to interfere with an individual's choices. (MLK has become some sort of "untouchable" - "Oh, how could you say that about MLK?")
So now, discrimination is generally thought of as a bad word. In American consciousness and lexicon, discrimination is a "bad" thing, making no distinction between an individual's legal right to discriminate and his private moral decision about whether it is "right" to do so. This evil conscience needs to be countered and corrected whenever and wherever possible because an individual has every legal right and duty to discriminate. This is not to be confused with an individual’s moral right and duty to examine how and where they exercise their right which is an issue between that person and his God and no one else. And the federal government has no constitutional power to interfere with either an individual’s legal right or moral right.
So an important step to in taking back our freedoms is changing the consciousness of as many people as possible in the country from thinking that discrimination is "bad" to realizing that discrimination is our God-given right of freedom of choice. Not a five-minute job and may very well require God himself to do that. But people like me will shout it from the mountaintops every chance we get.
And one of the biggest and the last to fall was a gun control law that made it illegal for citizens to own sidearms. But I don’t think she’ll mention that one.
The trash from the White House won't be removed until January 2017. Imagine how the place will stink after eight years.
I want to exclude stupid people from the White House. I must be a racist then!
"There Were Actually Laws in America that Allowed Discrimination Against Black People Like Me, passed by Democrats like me".
Well, actually, there WOULD be “disparate impact” of such a policy.
I wonder if Moose will take all the fixtures like Hillary did?
Are Wookies actually peeps?
Cause of African-American deaths since 1973:
heart disease-2,266,789
cancer- 1,638,350
accidents- 370,723
AIDS- 203,695
violent crimes- 306,313
for a total of 4,785,870
African-American abortions since 1973: roughly 13,000,000
(statistics from the National Black Catholic Congress’ website)
So America gets no credit at all for eliminating laws that discriminate against blacks, and replacing them with laws that discriminate against whites?
And today there are laws that encourage discrimination against people with light skin.
What does she mean by “Black people like me.”? Did the Jim Crow laws apply only to black people with fat butts?
And now those laws are removed.
But thanks to Mac Daddy we now have laws that discrimination against:
Christans, NRA, Pro-Life Groups, People who work hard and make money, Republicans, Tea Party People, News Papers that do not agree with mac daddy, Reporters who do not agree with mac daddy, Etc., Etc..
Modified to be “The Whole Truth”:
“There Were Actually Laws in America that *Enforced* Discrimination Against Black People Like Me, passed by Democrats like me”. They FORCED businesses to inappropriately discriminate.
