It's being implied in some quarters that Michelle Obama wants students to report family members for racial insensitivity.

That portion of her address is in bold type so that you can read what she specifically said.

In short, I want you to be the gestapo agent in your own homes.

At least she said “God bless you” at the end.

She encourages people talk about race, but this Cherokee-African-Irish-Norwegian isn’t allowed to be heard as having a legitimate point of view because of my melanin levels...

We know that today in America, too many folks are still stopped on the street because of the color of their skin -- (applause) [some folks are being knocked to the street because of the color of their skin -- (louder applause)] . . . .

What she said is stupid, but she didn’t say anything about reporting family members. “You can politely inform them they’re talking about your friends.” That doesn’t equate gestapo. This accusation must have been floated out there by some lefty to see how many conservatives latch onto it.

You think the nazis told kids to inform on their parents outright?

Nope they used counselors get the info out of them in the early days it wasn’t till later on that they shifted to outright threatening their own parents.

Perhaps that’s exactly what she wants to do, but her comment here doesn’t even suggest that.

She didn’t say anything about reporting family members THIS time. That’s coming. These things come in increments. Get them comfortable with spying and recognizing what to look for first.

WE had bigoted people around us when we were growing up.

My parents and the nuns taught us that our first instincts were correct, that color is no matter.

Wen our elders spewed generalizations that they came upon honestly in the inner city where they grew up, we were encouraged to ignore it and were shown example of how to kindly disagree.

For my entire adult life, working in hospitals, I have been told, and treated like, I am overpriveledged, though I spent 16 years studying and four years doing nothing at all BUT studying in a school which I paid for and got into with no direct assistance.

And now I have to put up with more and more never ending denial that I am treated with prejudice, that my parents who painstakingly formed us to be true Christians especially in regard to race, were by virtue of their skin color and financial status, were bad people who need Oprah and this hateful stupid woman who could not have done any real work in college as her speech is stupid, as usual, and by her slimy husband to tell us, in addition to the ‘social actions’ people and the SEIU members on their way to play the numbers, that we are bad.

I know through both common sense and experience that she and they will NEVER be satisfied If they put all of us into slavery for 400 years that 200 years after they came to their senses as the stupid American slaveholders did, they would still demand.

so I don’t know what to do with these people, but I will say this: I have had enough. And I’ve had enough of their messing with our culture and killing babies.

I cannot wait until they are retired from the WH and disappear to Hawaii, which they will, as they hate this country.

Of course, then there’ll be more Hillary, who will be worse than these characters, and waiting in the wings is Julian Raza Castro, and it doesn’t end.

But I am not a bad person, just because I am white.

And I don’t need these people to tell me not to be racist by virtue of their being black. They are way more racist than anyone I ever dealt with.

People being pushed because of their skin color?

The Day she says ‘white people pushed by blacks because of their skin color’, as is the case, I’ll take it back, which will be never.

Maybe that starts simply in your own family, when grandpa tells that off-colored joke at Thanksgiving, or you’ve got an aunt talks about “those people.” Well, you can politely inform them that they’re talking about your friends

and then you find out you’ve been removed from their Will

The husseins just love using the focus group tested word “folks”.

Obama has set back race relations by 40 years.
