Former first lady Michelle Obama addressed the current state of U.S. politics during an appearance on The Diary of a CEO podcast, calling for "empathy."(snip)

Speaking on the podcast about the current state of political leadership in America, Obama said, "You are not mad at me."

"You don't understand a lot about the world," she continued, "You've been told a lot of things about who people of my skin color are. You've been taught to fear me, because of what you're going through."

"'Business leaders, and people in power, who want power, and haven't understood their 'why' can lead us down some dark tunnels, right?" she said, adding, "But it's the empathy for me."

"That ability to give some perspective that allows them to not take all that hate in and to really see the light in people. It's just a better way to live," she said.

Obama also addressed her decision not to attend Trump's second inauguration, which led to speculation about her marriage on social media.

"As a box-checking person who has been checking her whole life, doing the right thing, trying to always be an example...I think I just told myself, 'I think I've done enough of that.'"
