Michelle Obama has spoken out against the killing of George Floyd, saying she is 'exhausted' by the racist attacks on black people in America, while calling on everyone to do their part in 'rooting it out.'

The former first lady shared an Instagram post on Friday saying she was 'pained' by the recent string of tragedies in the black community and the 'heartbreak that never seems to stop.'

'Right now it's George, Breonna, and Ahmaud. Before that it was Eric [Garner] Sandra [Bland] and Michael [Brown]. It just goes on, and on, and on,' she said.

'Race and racism is a reality that so many of us grow up learning to just deal with. But if we ever hope to move past it, it can't just be on people of color to deal with it.

'It's up to all of us—Black, white, everyone—no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out.'

Obama urged Americans to start with 'self-examination' and to listen to people who are from different walks of life.

'It ends with justice, compassion, and empathy that manifests in our lives and on our streets. I pray we all have the strength for that journey, just as I pray for the souls and the families of those who were taken from us,' she added.

Oh that’s right, you can really use that to flame race relations.

FBI stats claim that 3-4% of the population, black males between the ages of 15-35 commit the VAST percentage of violent crime, burglaries, rape, assaults, murders, muggings etc etc etc in the USA...
Maybe Big Mike should address THAT issue.

...

I suppose the list of blacks killed by blacks or whites killed by blacks is too exhausting to mention. Or maybe Big Mike is a racist.

Screw you, Moose! You and B-HO had 8 years to inspire the poor black community and you squandered it! You’re utterly useless.

Shut the hell up, Mooch.

You and Obambi have always looked to divide people.

It’s what your election strategy is based on.

Thing is, having a criminal record is something just about all these “victims of police brutality” seem to have in common. Maybe if crime was rooted out of the inner-city community, we’d have an easier time rooting our own “racism” (uneasy feeling we have—usually justified—around large groups of inner-city types.)

If true, this bixxx is assuming racism even when there is no evidence it exists in ab particular instance.

And she’s a lawyer?

Thousands of nameless whites are robbed, assaulted, raped and or killed by blacks every year. No one notices or cares.

Oh that’s right, you can really use that to flame race relations which is all you care about. You do not one give only flying F for black people you damn fraud so quit with the BS. In only 3 years a nut like Trump has done more for the black community than you and your husband have done in 8 and here you have the GALL to flame race relations further which only harms the black community further? You are absolutely pathetic.

Both she and her beard made comments about the killing of Floyd, but did either call for peace or blacks to root out their violence and hatred? Blacks are much more likely to hurt whites than the other way around. They are encouraged by these two idiotic, vile creatures.

FUMO ..... I’ve disagreed with excessive force but I don’t “need” to do any rooting out of anything. Why don’t you root out the cause of insolent and criminal behavior among your followers and put a stop to it.

No of course we do not want to dwell on the facts of the Michael Brown case.

Whenever there is a conflict between the facts and the liberal Narrative of an issue, then the liberal narrative is going to be the official explanation which liberals will adhere to.

Yeah, well we know that you and your husband hate this country and those who founded it. The same country that worshiped you and made you rich. The one you tried to sell out to iran.
