Maybe they need to dress better so nobody thinks they are working folk.

Mistaken for a valet-happens to all professional black men!

Yes! very true!! Rick white men and women are always looking for a black man that they can hand their very expensive car key to.

I’ve seen that all the time but usually at gun point.

I am white and I have been mistaken for:

Valet
Grocery clerk
Best Buy employee
Waiter at a wedding

I’m sure there are others but, unlike Obama, I don’t pay that much attention to them because I don’t walk around looking to be offended.

What Mooch just doesn’t get, is that she is nothing more than a servant to the people. Yes, we pay her lavishly but without us, she is out of work. I think she has herself confused with Queen Elizabeth.

I want to read more details, too. While I was in a grocery store, I was mistaken for an employee of that store. I didn’t complain, and I answered the question.

The pair of them just can’t help insulting people that work for a living, or those that assumed that they do honest work.

I was asked to help a lady find something at a Walmart just the other day. I never realized I was black before.

Blaze TV

Listener Calls Into Glenn Beck Radio Show With an Incredible Allegation About Michelle Obama’s Race Story
Dec. 18, 2014 11:27am Erica Ritz

A listener called into Glenn Beck’s radio program Thursday with an incredible story that contradicts First Lady Michelle Obama’s example of racism at Target. The caller said her sister was the person who asked the first lady to help her reach something, and the shocker is the woman allegedly voted for President Barack Obama — twice.

For those not familiar with the story, the first lady took a trip to Target in 2011. In a subsequent interview with David Letterman, she joked that someone didn’t recognize her and asked her to help her get something off the shelf. But in a recent interview with People magazine, Obama cited the story as an example of racism, saying the woman “saw me as someone who could help her.”

The caller, identified only as “Donna,” first called into TheBlaze Radio’s Pat and Stu on Wednesday, outraged that her sister was being painted as a racist by the first lady. TheBlaze has made multiple attempts to contact Donna’s sister since then, but was not able to reach her to independently verify her claim.

Speaking on Beck’s program, Donna said: “The funny thing is, my sister didn’t even know it was Michelle Obama until she was laying in the bed with her husband watching David Letterman and heard Michelle Obama tell the story. And she looked at her husband and said, ‘That was me!’”

“Michelle Obama told it accurately the first time, but she is twisting it now to make my sister out to be a racist,” Donna continued. “Now, her name isn’t out there. But I just got furious on my sister’s behalf. I can — we have political differences, big time, but my sister is not a racist.”

Donna said her sister is a “huge” Obama fan, and Beck said she told a Blaze Radio producer that her sister’s husband works at MSNBC.
