I risk getting the Peggy Noonan Award for saying this, but I feel sorry for Michelle Obama. She obviously felt patronized and marginalized as a child, and likely as an adult, despite attending Princeton and serving for eight years as “First Lady”. Her bitterness over it has ruined her life, and it shapes her political attitudes. It would be interesting to know whether she came to view herself as looked down upon via her own perceptions, or whether someone gave her the gift of victimhood, resentment, and self-hatred. Most black people have been insulted, belittled, ignored, etc., at some time or the other, and the hurt from that lingers. Fortunately for them, most seem able to rise above it but you can’t see inside peoples’ souls.
I bet she was pretty ugly as a child, and that’s what made her so angry. She sure wasn’t good looking when they married either.
