Yes, Michelle, It's Because You're Black

And just WHO is it that drives those cabs, Michelle? I lived in Chicago for years, took plenty of taxis, and it was a very rare Caucasian cab driver. Most were American black men, or African immigrants or Middle Easterners and some East or South Asians. Many volunteered, without asking by me, that they would not even go to the heart of the South Side because they were scared to death to pick any fare up there. If that’s racism, I guess its self-hatred because they were often the same race as the people they declined to take as passengers.

Years ago you never would have seen a black sales person in a retail store. Years before that you wouldn’t have seen an Irish or an Italian sales clerk.

I am surprised she was mistaken for a sales clerk at Target. Their sales people are better groomed and better dressed. I think she is lying. Lying like a rug.

"Michelle Obama goes on to say that she’s been mistaken for a worker at Target."

So have I, and I am white. More than once. Seems to happen when I wear my red polo shirts to Target. :)

The only reason Obama is President is because he is black, He had no qualifications or experience which is why this country is deeper in the crapper than it has ever been. I suppose next we get Warren who is the white female version of Obama. Then we will need a homosexual male, a lesbian and a transgender. Who knows what kind of perversity will be popular after that.

Crabs on the half ‘Chelle.

*No, she wasn’t “mistaken for a worker”, she was merely asked AS A FELLOW CUSTOMER to get something off a high shelf.*

One time an elderly lady asked to get something off a high shelf for her. However, the possibility exists that she mistook me for a Worker! How will I ever be able to hold my head up in polite society again!?

The horror, the horror!

“I think people forget that we’ve lived in the White House for six years,” Michelle says in People Magazine. “Before that, Barack Obama
was a black man that lived on the South Side of Chicago, who had his share of troubles catching cabs.”

Before becoming president, King Barack and Queen Michelle and their two daughters, Malaria and Sasquatch were forced to live in this lowly,
cramped, former sharecroppers shack on Chicago's South Side.

Being dirt poor negroes and accustomed to being discriminated against, they were unable to pay the full $1.95 asking price and had to seek
price concessions from the seller before they could take ownership. Once they were able to purchase the home they had to borrow a garbage
truck from the City of Chicago to move their meager household goods from their former residence, a cardboard refrigerator box located under
a nearby railroad underpass.

Barack, being of slight build was unable to work the broken power steering on the garbage truck and had to ride on the back of the truck while
Michelle did the driving. As they made their way to the new home people were rushing to the street to dump their gargae into the passing garbage truck.

This would not have happened if they were white skinned born into White Privilege.

Over the years there have been times I’ve be a victim of blacks... I’m sure we can have a GRAND OLD PITY PARTY that will match any one modern day blacks can put out.

Shall we all get together and do a white pity party thread?

Someone needs to ask Morgan Freeman to reprise his role as a member of the Electric Company and teach Michelle the difference between racism and self-preservation.

Morgan can be one of the silhouettes and she can be the other one. He can tell her what her notions of racism boil down to Electric Company style.

Silhouette #1: non

Silhouette #2:sense

Near the very end, the players tell how our country would end up if we did everything Michelle would like us to. The very last word tells what part of her needs the most improvement.

I asked a man what time it was when I was on an overnight in Oklahoma City several years ago. There was some huge convention and I was walking with the crowd to find a restaurant. The man looked at me, grinned and said, “How much?”

I was stunned and ran from him into an Italian restaurant. I guess I looked pretty shaken because the owner asked if I was ok. I told him what the guy said and tried to laugh it off. I was led to a nice table and while waiting for service, heard the owner say something to my waiter about taking good care of me as I had been accosted on my way there.

Now, one flight attendant I worked with was offered $20,000 for one night by some guy in Vegas, which she promptly turned down.

$20,000 would but a lot of therapy. Just sayin’.,,,

I used to live where the Obamas lived — in Hyde Park. I never saw a cab cruising around there, looking for a fare. The community was too far from the Loop and there wasn’t enough going on down there. Sounds like another BS story.

[MeshugeMikey]

white non privilege?

[GraceG]

I get asked all the time to get stuff off the top shelf when i go shopping. I am a touch over 6ft and i don’t work retail.....

Next time i am going to ball out the person asking and accuse them of “short privileged behavior” by thinking us tall people are there for their usage....

[MeshugeMikey]

both of the obama offspring are bound to be wonders to behold

Im guessing at least one of them will end up like CHAZZ BONO

As they live and breathe they lie.

As another post stated, MO was just seen as another customer being asked to help. But elites are insulted.

To hello with them!

LOL

[tflabo]

Hey Moosch how about saying this instead; ‘I’m honored and humbled to have the privilege to be the First Lady and to be of service to the nation and to my fellow Americans’.
But noooooo—instead we get the arrogance and ungrateful elitism dibble. Fact is they are both very unworthy of the honor and forfeit any good will from the citizens by their own words and actions. Puke on them both and it has nothing to do with their ‘holy black color’ but lack of character.

I don’t think so.
More like Chelsea Clinton.
High priced education, marry into serious wealth, eventually politics.
