Former first lady Michelle Obama spoke out about the Supreme Court’s Thursday ruling against affirmative action, recalling her own struggle to feel a sense of belonging as one of the few Black students at her university.

The former first lady recalled her experience as one of the few Black students on campus during her undergraduate years at Princeton University, explaining that she sometimes questioned if people assumed she had only been accepted because of affirmative action policies.

She is dipping her big tuchus into the Democratic presidential race.
Hey Politico, many of us don’t give a damn what that fat ugly pig thinks. And no she/he is not going to step in for Xiden so quit trying to float that idea to the rats. Besides, Barry Hussein Soetoro would never stand for it.
Two Ferraris and a Kenworth.

She grew up solidly middle-class. One or both of her parents had a government job, IIRC.
I always find it funny that if someone brings something up and no journalist is willing to dig deep to verify or debunk.
Have to wonder if there’s any merit to what the judge is saying

So the future Democrat presidential candidate is admitting she couldn’t do it with out favoritism.
“Michelle Obama speaks about how affirmative action personally affected her college life”
We always knew she didn’t get through it on merit.
She flunked the Illinois Bar exam which aint easy to do.
People like Mooch don’t write books. She had ghost writers.
My favorite Michelle Obama times are the long, silent ones between her comments on affirmative action and angry black women.
