Michelle Obama Would Like Students to Monitor Family Members for Racial Insensitivity
The Blaze ^ | May. 19, 2014

First lady Michelle Obama is encouraging students to monitor their older relatives, friends and co-workers for any racially insensitive comments they might make, and to challenge those comments whenever they’re made.

The first lady spoke on Friday to graduating high school students in Topeka, Kansas, and in remarks released over the weekend, Obama said students need to police family and friends because federal laws can only go so far in stopping racism.

“[O]ur laws may no longer separate us based on our skin color, but nothing in the Constitution says we have to eat together in the lunchroom, or live together in the same neighborhoods,” she said. “There’s no court case against believing in stereotypes or thinking that certain kinds of hateful jokes or comments are funny.”

To address these limitations in the law, Obama asked students to take steps to “drag my generation and your grandparents’ generation along with you” in the fight against racism.

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

An interesting question Michelle raises. With everyone from the NSA to local traffic cams monitoring us, do we need informants. Probably, from the Obama perspective.

One of the hallmarks of a totalitarian regime: children spying on their families for thought crimes.

Seems there was another fascist leader who enlisted children to spy on their parents.

Creating little race baiters, anti-gunners, dirt worshipers, anti-Americans.

She sickens me.

Question: did Mrs. Obama do the whole White House Christmas tree and all, the way the GOP first ladies did?
I don't know because if she appears on the T.V. I immediately change channels.
Just wondering.

She would have gotten a feast at our house. But that was another time, another place, I’m not like that, and it’s none of her business.

her soviet trained parents taught her well. “informing the state about your parents views that are against the state is the highest form of service (aka betrayal of your family)you can give to the state.

No, but some schools enforce such forced “integration”. I know of one instance, anecdotal, where a 1st grader had to sit at a six seat lunch table with 5 Hispanics. Which would be fine, it they spoke English. The school understood and resolved the problem, but what mindset does that in the first place. I’d be thinking of integrating the Spanish speakers at lunch with English speakers. So they can learn the language.

My daughter went through all 12 grades of school without a single black classmate in a class of 125.

She has now spent the last 3 years in school in Gainesville and has developed her own opinion of blacks by experiencing it first hand.

From the entitlement mentality of her black roommates to the less-than-juvenile behavior of the black boys who hang in groups and just can’t not say something when a white girl walks by, the blacks themselves have closed a previously open mind.

It’s not enough that these grifters are in the WH with billions of dollars worth of perks....no, they want MORE - and it’s only based on the melanin in their skin.

Give an inch...they take a mile.

let us not forget ATTACK WATCH....

http://l.barackobama.com/truth-team/attack-watch/

now as I understand it and attack is a physical event. That being the case naming a Feature of ones Website ATTACK WATCH is just a tad over the edge,

As most of us likely remember when ATTACK WATCH was launched it was very well promoted....

When will there be another FEATURE on Barack O’Drama.com where one can rat out ones racist parents...school pals etc??

RACE WATCH?

somebody pull the PLUG on these people PLEASE!!
