WASHINGTON -- For her own Women's History Month assignment, first lady Michelle Obama visited Anacostia High School, on the poor side of town, where on Thursday she surprised a group of students. One of her goals is to demystify the White House and make it more accessible to the people who live here.
Mrs. Obama told the youngsters she felt isolated from an institution in her own community when she was growing up and that she suspected they may view the White House and the Capitol the way she saw the University of Chicago as a young girl -- a place for other people. She shared her story of how she was taunted for talking "like a white girl."

Interesting that it took until almost the very last line for the reporter to explain Meshelle meant this as a compliment...

Yes, she gave up a lucrative legal career (avg $120k) to go into “public service” (where she “earned” > $300k).
Her salary just happened to geometrically increase as her husband’s political career took off.

Wouldn't this be an indictment of her black peers?

So speaking in a grammatically and phonetically correct manner is to speak like a white person? What am I missing here?

The horror! /s
Could this family be any more divisive and idiotic? I'm so ashamed to have these buffoons in the People's House. So ashamed.

So, Michelle, at least at one point
in time you sounded intelligent while
you were flapping your gums and someone
called you on it?

She shared her story of how she was taunted for talking "like a white girl."Just how does a "white girl" talk Michelle?
Not everyone sounds the same!

I’m not any more fond of the Obamas than you are, but I don’t get the problem with this remark. Seems to me she was trying to say that people gave her a hard time, but that didn’t stop her from being a good student and succeeding in life, even if that meant being accused of “acting white.” Seems like a good example for kids who might be in danger of succumbing to ghetto culture.

You’re not missing a thing.
That is exactly what is meant by the phrase.

Mrs. Obama told the students it's cool to be smart.
Not that she would know anything about that.

Let it go Michelle, take your big girl pill!
Good grief, these two are still stuck in adolescence.

teased for talking ‘like a white girl’ ...eyeah, let's discuss this Michelle, why are blacks the only race that I know of that ridicules anyone of their own race for working hard and getting ahead? Calling them all SORTS of names. Why did certain prominent blacks, ones that you look up to, wonder if your husband "was black enough"?
