During a passionate address at historically black Tuskegee University Saturday, Michelle Obama said she refused to let the "sting" of racial bias define her.
"Over the years, folks have used plenty of interesting words to describe me. One said I exhibited a little bit of 'uppityism,'" the first lady said. "Cable news charmingly referred to me as 'Obama's baby mamma.'
"All of the chatter, the name-calling, the doubting, all of it was just noise," she said. "It did not define me, it didn't change who I was, and most importantly, it couldn't hold me back."
Conjuring up the incidents in Ferguson and Baltimore, Obama told graduates, "Here's the thing, the road ahead is not going to be easy. It never is, especially for folks like you and me.

See she’s to dense to realize that nobody disliked her for her skin color, but because of horrible mean-spirited personality.
BLAH BLAH BLAH ,YAWN
“I’m a victim, I’m a victim; look at me, look at me”
Her color didn’t hold her back from getting that plush job at the hospital.
What does that moron know about racism..meanwhile two officers were murdered last night by her “sons and daughters” will she be contacting the families of the officers slaughtered..yeah I didnt think so
Because of her Affirmative Action benefits, she didn’t have a choice about being held back. Hello Princeton, hello Harvard, hello 6 figure jobs without working, hello White House, hello Dolly!
I’ve already had one post pulled over this... this thing.
Gordon Sumner is definitely a racist.
Glad he couldn’t hold Michelle back.
First Lady: ‘Sting’ of Uglism ‘Didn’t Hold Me Back’
The Queen of the Victims speaketh.
Did the sting of racism get you a six digit job where you did practically nothing?
I call bull.
Michelle is a liar. I want to see a video of a cable news anchor referring to her as, “Obama’s baby mama.”
She and her husband are lying, race-baiting scum.
And because of that perpetual thundercloud frown that says "You white bastards, I wish you were all dead."
"Fist-bump Mama" is just the beginning of what she is. The New Yorker had it right the first time.
OMG, if the worse thing that ever happened to you in your charmed life was that someone called you a name, you will never get sympathy from me. Get over yourself, lady.
Get over yourself,WOMEN
