Must be a black thang, 'cause I sure don't get it.

...Not necessarily.

I am a Black woman and for one, cannot stomach the incessant bitter vitriolic bile that comes from Michelle Obama's mouth. It sickens me that someone who makes six figures as an Administrator at a major medical facility in Chicago can have the audacity to say the things she's said out on the campaign trail. If you believe what she tells you, this country's headed straight to H*ll in a hand basket.

...Of course that will be the case if her husband is elected our next President.

I think she beats him. Just a hunch.

T Lady, I appreciate your perspective. (I am a white male) Have you been able to convince any of your contemporaries of your view of the Obamas? How does the rest of your family feel? I think it is a very sad commentary that skin color seems to trump all else in regards to choosing a president. Are they so blind to not see the road to hell we are merging onto? Negotiating with suicide bombers that kill women & children by choice? Training their children to HATE from infancy?

It is my fervent hope that the "normal" & true Black Christian Churches will unite against the false prophets, Obama, Wright & now, Moss. Nice to have you here! You are a FReeper first here, so you ARE NOT in the minority!! Thank you, bL

I'm gratified by your comment. As a blue-eyed devil, I'm happy to embrace Dr. King's precept that we judge a man by the content of his character. On that basis, I cannot support Obama. (In Obama's case though, it seems that Dr. King's maxim has been reduced to simply "Don't judge".)

Michelle was quoted more than a year ago saying "Barry could be shot while pumping gas just for being Black in America..." Statistically speaking, the rest of that sentence should be "...by another Black man", but of course that wasn't the implication she was trying to convey.
