Barack’s wife has decided to make herself an authority on white flight. The problem is that she’s utterly misinformed about it.
SNIP
Of Michelle’s many hypocrisies — Gilbert documents them all — none struck me as viscerally as her self-appointed role as the Torquemada of so-called “white flight.” In her 2018 bestseller, Becoming, and on the arena tour that followed, Michelle laid out her version of “white flight.” Although largely progressive boilerplate, Michelle added her own angry edge.
At a 2019 Obama Foundation Summit, Michelle was at her finger-wagging best. “As families like ours, upstanding families like ours, who were doing everything we were supposed to do and better, as we moved in, white folks moved out,” she dissembled, adding, “They were afraid of what our families represented.”
Lest her liberal white audience think themselves exempt from her scolding, Michelle reminded them that they were and are part of the problem. Pointing to herself and to her older brother Craig, Michelle continued in a black patois only slightly less grating than Hillary’s, “I wanna remind white folks that y’all were running from us, and y’all still runnin’.” Among the things that scared white people, Michelle imagined, were “the color of our skin” and the “texture of our hair.”
The 50 or so people I interviewed for my book had a slightly different take on white flight. One lifelong friend nailed that take in a single word. When I asked why he and his widowed mother finally left our Newark, New Jersey block in the early 1970s, twenty years after the first African-American families moved in, he thought for a moment and then simply said, “It became untenable.” When I asked what “untenable” meant, he answered, “When your mother gets mugged for the second time, that’s untenable. When your home...

The same Michele Obama who said her great-grandparents rode the Underground Railroad????
“I think it’s more a case of running from people who demonstrate low impulse control.”
The murder and violence reports on our local news involve blacks 90% of the time.
If Big Mike had a clue about what the hell she’s talking about, why did the white people and others find it so easy to colonize Africa? We don’t GAS about the color of their skin and the “texture” of their hair. Never did. The hair thing is good for a lot of laughs these days. “Crowns”. ROTFL!
White flight began in earnest in Detroit when communist Coleman Young was elected Mayor. He told white people to “hit Eight Mile.” Eight Mile Road was the northern border of the city. Over the next couple decades, there was mass compliance with Coleman’s wishes.
I lived north of Eight Mile Road but went to school a mile south. It was one of the last stable neighborhoods in the city, populated by many members of the Police and Fire Departments.
At the time, they were required to live in the city. When the courts changed that policy, they moved out and the neighborhood became a dump like the rest of Detroit.
White people were clearly unwelcome yet they were blamed for leaving.
It’s Producer Flight.
Successful black people, don’t want to live near them, neither.
Worst mistake in human history
I observe the bammy’s have a home in Hawaii, lily white mass and they don’t live in da hood in chiraq. Seems the bammys have practiced black flight. Most people who are financially able do the same.
“Michelle Obama: The Black Face of White Flight”
Says the stealth Democratic candidate for the 2024 Presidential election.
and maybe her penis
She is not in a position to speak about white flight.
BTTT
Reminds me of the story about the man that spent thousands of dollars to cure his halitosis. After all that it turned out that it wasn’t his breath - people just didn’t like HIM.
I don’t blame them. She was probably a horribly mean mother.
Words of wisdom from a disbarred lawyer.
Michelle Obama
I do everything I can to avoid all contact with black people that I don’t already know, and will continue until I die. After Burn Loot and Murder came on the scene, I have radically changed my views. So be it.
“I wasn’t a racist until you started calling me one.”
My point exactly, you have learned well grasshopper.
Just imagine this vengeful, hate-filled entity as President.
Such BS. We lived in a fine neighborhood recently (just moved out of for other reasons.) We had black people living there. They were fine, non violent, took care of their home, even served on the HOA board. Very nice to work with. Great. No problem. One was a retired police officer. All fine upstanding people. None of them robbed anyone, raped anyone, all had steady jobs, were never violent.
She is simply a government grifting shit disturber, and nothing more.
Whatever the historical racial correlation, it’s not “White” flight any more. It’s “whoever can afford to” flight.
