True, but first you actually have to be the child of a president.

Vile Racism Forces Fox News To Close Comments On Malia Obama Article
Harmless Article On College Choice Of President’s Daughter Shows Racism Going Strong
President Obama’s oldest daughter Malia has decided to attend Harvard but will take a gap year before beginning her college education. While the college announcement of a president’s daughter is not life-or-death news, it has been deemed as newsworthy by the media and will receive a short story on most sites. Fox News mirrored the brief AP story on their site and you would think it wouldn’t receive a ton of attention from the Obama-hating racist trolls. And you would be horribly wrong.
If you take a look at the Fox News post, you might notice there is no comment section at the bottom of the article. The reason: they had to take down the avalanche of racism that ensued below the harmless story.

“I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the left posted those hateful comments just to make Fox look bad.”
Same here. That tactic is SOP with the left.
Have any of the “racist” commentators actually been identified?
The racism charge is overblown, IMO. Yes, the article shows three items that are or are likely racist, but that leaves two others that made the editorial cut that left race out of the picture.
This appears to be more puffery to try and paint conservatives with a wide, racism brush.
Yup - just like all of the nasty attacks on homosexuals....all staged.
Michael Jackson used skin bleach if you want an example of how it works.
Why would anyone say mean nasty things about the adopted daughter of Barry and his husband Michael?
But what is it? It’s impossible to get rid of freckles! I assumed all these black celebs just wore white makeup.
It hurts when you treat the medias protected class like you treat the medias scum. Ie Palin ,Bush
I don’t know I never had the need to use it but I know Jackson and other blacks have used it.
Of that, I am certain.
The racist comments are probably the work of hard left BLM and “social justice warriors”.
Shame on Fox for covering any story about a President’s children, other than involvement in a crime. They all should be treated as non-entities, not exploited as celebutants.
Who cares. Malia is a vile little Moocher who undoubtedly received acceptance through affirmative action which is de facto racism.
And you know she is sub-par because....?
Savage mentioned her admittance to Harvard yesterday. He said is it not because she was admitted there, or any other college she chose to attend, because she is the daughter of a sitting president and would never be denied? He said that is simply nothing but “privilege” but one no one will mention because of the dynamic being outside the left’s play book.
Generally agree with your post. We are civilized even if THEY are not. I do think that Moochelle is fair game since she has made herself a player as Hillary did before her and because of her high living and European shopping tours on a government 757 or whatever at our expense. Her extravagance is uncalled for and her political views and unscratchable itch for power to be America's nanny and food fascist are also more than fair game.
IronJack:
Malia is not yet a player. She is just a kid. OK, she is THEIR kid. It is not automatic that she will be bad news. I admired Martin Luther King's rhetoric or oratory but NOT his politics but his parents and his children and several nieces have proven to be a lot more conservative.
From a distance, we have no way of accurately evaluating Malia's intellectual qualifications for Harvard and federal law (one sponsored by Bill Buckley's brother Senator James Lane Buckley prohibits the release of student records without permission of the student. She is qualified on several other scores that the Ivies care about. Her father is POTUS. That would be sufficient in and of itself. She graduated the very prestigious (and no doubt leftist) elite Sidwell Friends School as Chelsea Clinton did before her. She has vicarious life experience far beyond that of even Harvard entering freshmen which Harvard would value. In a strange and elite way, as child of POTUS, she brings a diversity to the campus far rarer than mere race, gender, nationality and the Iies value that above all else.
Unlikely though it may be, if she turned out conservative which is, by no means impossible at any of the Ivies, we would view her as a hero and celebrate every moment of her life thereafter. My wife entered Yale as a full fledged radical leftist by ideology and, at best, and vaguely Mainline left religious. By the time she graduated, her fellow students who were conservative had turned her very conservative and had her eager to be a Traditionalist Catholic. She edited books for Conservative Book Club, very conservative Catholic publications, worked for Bill Buckley, now teaches about ten subjects at a very challenging Catholic school, controlled by the parents and generally makes me liberal by comparison.
Give the kid a break. If she turns out to be a windtunnel leftist weasel like Chelsea Clinton (just as likely, given their respective backgrounds) there will be plenty of time to run her down later. Chelsea's parents may have graduated elite schools and Chelsea herself graduated Stanford. Chelsea is still an insufferable vacuous airhead and is unlikely to improve at her age.
Malia has a chance. It is not easy to grow up in a fishbowl. If she punts and defaults stage left, that will be the time to go after her. In the meantime, nice is better than not nice.
Nothing.
perhaps they mentioned that she needs a year between high school and college...
Did she fail to graduate and needs more credits???
“Which is itself a case of “privilege” and rightfully the target of scorn.”
Malia doesn’t deserve criticism but I wonder why her parents announced the college choice, especially since she’s taking a year off before starting.
Do you suppose the elite schools have mechanisms for ensuring the security and “fitting in” of the children of the rich and famous.
