Yeah, sure, she looks like a Target employee. /s

She probably could have gotten by with that disguise if she had been shopping Walmart.
Do you think the Hacking of credit cards at Target had anything to do with her being mistaken, on reflection of the Ferguson & Garner deaths, of being mistaken for an someone who works for a living?
The anecdote was probably born as a lie her staff wrote into her scripted, off-the-cuff interview with Letterwimp. Let's just say in either use of the anecdote, it was too good to be true.
I’m a little over five feet, and even I’VE been asked to reach stuff, by people who are even shorter than I am! I was glad to do it. It usually results in a nice, friendly little exchange between two shoppers. Leave it to the WORST “Lady” to turn it into racism. Why not just be glad to do a bit of a favor for a fellow human being? She’s just too small and petty to think of it that way. Disgusting, classless creature!
This will backfire on the Obamas big time, as almost everyone has been asked to reach something in a store, or has asked someone else to do so, and never considered racism as having anything to do with it.
Sheesh...the sooner these two horrid people are out of OUR house, the better.
You know, IF this incident even really happened, the woman who asked her to reach the higher shelf is somewhere. I hope she comes forward, or someone finds her. I'd love her to be black, or have her publicly respond to this vile accusation of racism. Moochelle is really insulting this woman, who almost certainly did not intend any "racism."
Heck, I’m a guy but have bad knees, so have needed help in the hardware store. Remind me never to ask an intended victim.
When we assumed Obama would uphold the US constitution, we were not being racist. We were just actingly stupidly, apparently.
You know, there's another possibility.... she doesn't exist and the whole anecdote was made up. Now that I think of the Moochelle body language, that too is a fit.
I can hardly wait to listen to all the Late Night Comedians and SNL to make fun of what she has said. They do so like to make fun of Big Asses (little pun there) if they are White like Governor Christie (another pun).
Yeah, sure, she looks like a Target employee. /s
As my dearly departed ex-grandmother in law used to say: "you know how they lie".
does she know she can actually put the bags in the cart?
Haven’t read the whole thread but this has probably been covered. As a taller than average person there’s hardly a couple of weeks that go by in my adult life where someone shorter than me doesn’t ask for help reaching a grocery item high up on a shelf.
I’m now trained to offer my service at the first sight of someone vertically challenged trying to grasp something out of reach.
I guess we are all racists.
That’s the whole problem. The “activists” (led by Obama) have made everybody - black and white - so nervous that they can’t just interreact like human beings anymore.
Gotta wonder what she thinks the cart is for.
homeless transportation
She looks the part but even homeless people know that carts carry stuff.
Same here. I’m 5’9” and little old ladies are always attracted to me to help them. Maybe my platinum blonde hair makes me a target. Lol
A woman has come forward claiming to be the sister of the woman who asked Michelle to reach for her. She’s defending her sister’s honor, says her sister is not racist, etc.
I’m 6’2” tall. I always have Little Old Ladies asking me to reach something on the top shelf. If I see someone having a difficult time trying to get to something, I volunteer.
My Mother always told me to be Polite.
The one thing us Tall people need to know is that you are expected to get an Item from the back of the Shelf, the one with the latest “buy” Date.
This really comes into play when reaching for a Carton of Milk. I automatically do it, rather than taking the first Item on the shelf. If I didn’t, I know the Little Old Lady will ask me to reach way back for the freshest Milk.
Now I am questioning their Motives. Maybe they look down(figuratively) on Tall Italian Men. They must think I’m either a Mafioso or Mussolini’s Grandson. That’s the ticket.
Do you think People Magazine will interview me?
“Either way it probably has more to do with her being six feet tall than it does with her being black.”

That’s a guaranteed certainty. I’m a six four white male and I couldn’t count the times someone in a store has asked me to reach something for them. I have never refused and never felt insulted.
