Michelle Obama Says Racist Attacks that She Faced While in the White House 'Cut the Deepest'
The Root ^ | July 26, 2017 | Breanna Edwards

Former first lady Michelle Obama was a breath of fresh air as usual while making a public appearance in Colorado since leaving the White House for a live armchair conversation with The Women’s Foundation of Colorado President Lauren Casteel. But even as poised and graceful as always, Obama touched on some tough topics, speaking out frankly about the hurt she felt from the racist attacks she received while in the White House.

“The shards that cut me the deepest were the ones that intended to cut,” Obama said when Casteel asked her about the trials of being the first black first lady, according to the Denver Post. “Knowing that after eight years of working really hard for this country, there are still people who won’t see me for what I am because of my skin color.”

While her husband served as President of the United States, Michelle Obama has been mercilessly been the center of the hateful attacks and comments. She has been called an ape (and everything in between but a child of God), her body size and type made fun of... the list can go on and on forever....

It seems that Moochelle is still carrying that racist chip on her shoulder even after free-loading millions from the taxpayers on junkets around the world for her and her sycophants for eight years.

So, “Sasquatch”, “Mooch” and “Tranny” are all racist terms now?

I am sure Melania feels the same way about the left “racist” attacks on her.

Oh wait... it’s only racist when a wookie on the left is being attacked!

SHUT UP YOU AMERICA HATING MORON!@

Was she clutching her gun and her bible when she said that?

Basically any criticism was racist.

The same with her husband.

Still beating the drums of racial division, I see.
How about you ‘just beat it’, Michelle.
You and husband have done enough damage.

There are still people out there who won’t see her for who she is?

You mean an angry, thin-skinned woman? That’s how I see her, plus a liar and a leftist ideologue.

When the heck did she get bashed at all, much less for her color? Touchy, touchy, girl.

Same ole song and dance from that bunch.

Spouting racism is protected under 1st Amendment, seems to me it’s a social issue. They used racism for 8 years.

Treason however.... Started with the comment, 1st time happy with the US was when Soetoro was elected and continued on for the duration.

Michael must be upset with no trannys in the military.

Any respect for her ended when she said....."For the first time, I am proud of my country". The most unworthy FLOTUS ever.

Hillary was just a plain hypocrite with her sticking by her perverted husband as being something decent.
