Remember how some people used to talk about President Barack Obamas rise as post-racial? With bracing candor, Michelle Obama has begun to open up about how post-racial her White House life wasnt.
In an appearance at the Womens Foundation of Colorado in Denver, the former first lady, who memorably advised Democrats when they go low, we go high, offered a painful glimpse of how low the insults could go and how it felt to be on the receiving end.(snip)
The shards that cut me the deepest were the ones that intended to cut, she said, according to the Post. Knowing that after eight years of working really hard for this country, there are still people who wont see me for what I am because of my skin color.
Sad, but true. Along with the privileges of the presidency comes a breathtaking burden on presidential families. But so far, only one first family has had the added burden of being African American and facing the prejudices and cheap shots that come with it.(snip)
Yet, despite the many outrages against her and her family, the former first lady remained resolutely upbeat about this nation as a land of opportunity.
Women, we endure those cuts in so many ways that we dont even notice were cut, she said. We are living with small tiny cuts, and we are bleeding every single day. And were still getting up.
The people in this country are universally good and kind and honest and decent, she said. Dont be afraid of the country you live in. The folks here are good.
Indeed, most of us are, even if some of us still need to learn a few things like better manners.

Who cares about his burden?
Our burden was putting up with Michael and nobama (don't they make a cute couple) during which they did damage to our precious country that will take at least a generation fix.
Some things never change. Always the victim. Maybe her version of racism would diminish, if she wasn’t out there stoking the flames of victimhood.
“All this for a flag?”
her look only bothered me when the press kept insisting on comparing her to Jackie O. Jackie was a teeny tiny person who just exuded class and MO, not so much.
The beard.
“”there are still people who wont see me for what I am because of my skin color.””
Doesn’t have anything to do with the color of her skin. She’d still be a pain in the **** if she was purple....She went into the White House resenting everything about this country and that never changed. Who does she think she’s kidding? I guess the people who show up to listen to her aren’t able to see her for what she is/was.....
What about all the expensive vacations she took? What about all the fawning from the media about how she was the most beautiful, gracious, and stylish first lady since Jackie Kennedy? All the airbrushed magazine covers, appearances on Ellen’s show, etc. Yeah, she got some criticism, but so does every first family. Why should the Obamas be immune?
I wish this whiny, racist b**** would just go away.
Nancy Reagan and Laura Bush never complained, did they?
After eight years of working really hard for this country.
Keeping lobster and off shore resorts businesses busy.
Thanks. You beat me to saying exactly that.
This ignorant cow, the queen mooch of the land, really is the worst kind of ingrate who uses the melanin in her skin to cry victim every chance she gets. She was on an 8 year vacation flown to all manner of places and countries while being treated like a queen yet all she can do is bitch about being black. If I were black I’d be ashamed of that Mooch and crybaby. On top of that she forced school kids to eat crappy food. She literally punished them for something they never did. History will not be kind to that cow and it certainly makes me hope we never see another black couple in the White House ever again. They simply can’t help but make everything about race which is a shame because there are some decent black people who don’t think that way but the obummer’s ruined it for them. What a shame.
I wonder how many speech writers she had to come up with these little bullshit pearls of idiocy.
“Now, if only they would just shut up and go away.”
We don’t hear much from ex-president Obama. I expected him to have more to say to his adoring public.
“my skin color” Michelle Obama
Au contraire, Chewie.
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
America has been listening to such high-flown talk now for over fifty years.
You talk about your dreams from your Marxist father.
You get through Princeton writing about how difficult it is to be you.
We have watched the grievance-mongering preachers inflame and create social problems out of whole cloth.
Our hard-earned wages go to support generations of helpless citizens.
We see daily the violence done by minority thugs against us.
Now you say the problem is still that we are racists.
We tried to set aside the prejudice. We have been judging the content of your character all the while. That’s the problem in 2017. We reached a verdict. There it is.
I thought this was about her massive backside
We see her for exactly what she is, a no account mooch. That relative who is always demanding room, board and money.
“”We dont hear much from ex-president Obama. I expected him to have more to say to his adoring public.””
SHHHHH! PLEASE! Don’t wake him up. It’s like heaven not to see his face or hear his voice! But he’s plotting - no doubt about that.
I don't wish ill upon the obamtards, what I wish is that they live the life of all the poor people they supposedly represented in Chicago.
Believe me, the “man” is awake.
“He’s” doing in “his” new job- Leak Coordinator and Chief Propaganda Manipulator.
He’s as busy as a “beaver” keeping the swamp wet.
Prison for “him!” And “his wife”!!
C’mon Sessions! C’mon Trump!! Enforce the law! Is that too much to ask?!
