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.

Um...what racism was involved in the Minneapolis incident, Michelle?
I wonder if she can recall some names of blacks killed by blacks, even just those killed today. I’ll wait.
Whitey is excluded.

“”saying she is ‘exhausted’ by the racist attacks on black people in America,””
She’s lying as always. Happy as a clam that the hatred her husband set in place wasn’t forgotten when he left office. She needs to thank him for what he did to/for blacks in this country! Those years weren’t wasted after all.
So, so, so shameful that there are people in this country who actually believe all that racist talk. They would like to believe that THEY occupy 99% of our thinking but they’d be wrong. It’s only when stupid people say and do stupid things that we are reminded they haven’t learned a thing at all but fall for the same old tired lines! Racial inequality - like living in the White House for 8 years!
“”It just goes on, and on, and on,’ she said.””
No, it doesn’t go on and on and on...It’s your mouth that goes on and on and on - no one cares what you think so save it. Don’t poison the minds of blacks who have common sense and see the truth...you’re using them..
Very well said....and so true...
That was his job - what he was chosen for and there’s no doubt he succeeded at it...why don’t they sit back and enjoy the chaos? They wanted it - they got it!
“”Um...what racism was involved in the Minneapolis incident, Michelle?””
Good question...I haven’t heard any reporting that doesn’t use the word “racist”. I say it was stupidity - the cop had the same mentality as the voters who put Ilhan Omar in office. So sad for so many people - the ones losing because of the criminals rioting in the street. I also don’t hear the word “rioting” - it’s called “protesting”....
3 minorities and one white guy and The Moose can only see white - who’s the racist again?
Michelle Obama is wrong. She needs to denounce the looters.
