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.

I am exhausted by the racist attacks on people. Michelle calls on white people to do the 'uncomfortable work of rooting it out’ - but won’t touch the statistics on who is conducting interracial attack on who. Which might mean that an awful lot of “the uncomfortable work of rooting it out” might fall on people Michelle thinks of as noblemen.

Police brutality is made neither better nor worse by the color of the perpetrators or the victims.

Blacks commit too much crime compared to other races.If they didn't commit so much crime the cops would be much more likely to leave them alone. It is cause and effect.

Mike is a racist. He’s HATES white America and has said so.

[Zirondelle76]

I’m exhausted by so called African Americans. Maybe you can root out the criminals, racist and communist.

Read my mind. Past exhausted, actually.

[Luke21]

Shut up, Mike.

Fear not.....the “Trump” FBI will find out exactly what happened from A-Z!!! This whole game smells dirty!!! Remember what I said. The Democrats are terrified that Trump will win re-election big time...so they are desperate that Trump will destroy the entire Socialist, Communist Party...so, the Dems are following their mantra of “Never let a crisis or a murder go to waste”!!! Like I said...stay tuned!!!

Michelle the militant.

I’m exhausted from hearing liberal platitudes. Like a one of them really gives a damn about what they are actually saying.

You can always count on the Obama’s to fan the flames. That is how we got in this mess in the first place. The Obama’s are pure racist.

I'm sorry, Michelle. You were saying?

[Albion Wilde]

It was one of the most horrific things I have ever seen, the knee on the neck and then watch him die.

I have great sympathy for anyone who loses a loved one to violence.

That said, the statistics do not support Michelle’s narrative. More blacks are killed by blacks than by whites. More whites are killed by cops than blacks. More blacks are killed by black cops than by white cops.

Let’s not forget the crimes against Channon Gail Christian and Hugh Christopher Newsom.

Or the actions of Jaydon Hayden, an avowed black supremacist

**Michelle Obama ......calling on white people to do the ‘uncomfortable work of rooting it out’**

1. What is Michelle’s evidence of racism as a motive for this single murder? .....especially, as her statement implies, institutional racism?

2. What, more than “whites” indicting this cop for murder, does she expect?

[gogeo]

This was racist...why?

This he/shew/it hermaphrodite needs to self-exile for the good of civilization. What a fraud and loser.

"she is 'exhausted' by the racist attacks on black people while calling on white people to do the 'uncomfortable work of rooting it out'"

She's no longer first lady. That's a good start.

She and Ann Coulter can actually get together drinking wine and whine like menopausal degenerates.

I love women but hate these type of women.
