"A black president. A black wife. And I'm here to celebrate black history. That's what I'm here for."

106 years old and she's learned nothing except to see skin color. What a waste.

She was 54 years old in 1964. She actually saw “Jim Crow” in action; she has also seen the entire disastrous trajectory of the mis-named “civil rights” movement. Doesn’t look like she learned much from it. Few other people learned much, either, so I can’t really fault her.

What a stupid comment.

I don't know this woman's story, but we can probably assume that it wasn't easy. She most likely grew up with people judging her simply because of the color of her skin. So yeah, she's 106 and goes to the White House and see some of her own kind living in it. Just allow her the moment without intimating she's a racist.
