Michelle Obama: Talk about race
POLITICO ^ | 5/16/14 | LUCY MCCALMONT

Posted on 05/16/2014 5:35:33 PM PDT by mdittmar

Marking the 60th anniversary of the historic Brown vs. Board of Education ruling, First Lady Michelle Obama said on Friday that racial and other prejudices still plague the nation and she called on young people to lead the way forward.

“This issue is so sensitive, it’s so complicated, so bound up with a painful history,” Obama told soon-to-be graduating high school seniors in Topeka, Kansas—the city that was at the center of the Supreme Court’s decision. “No matter what you do, the point is to never be afraid to talk about these issues, particularly the issue of race, because even today, we still struggle to do that.”

We need to start talking about ‘culture’. I do not admire a culture where the males wear their pants half way down their a$$e$. Don’t care what color their skin is.

he point is to never be afraid to talk about these issues

What exactly do you want to say?...Do we talk about how your kids wander the streets in gngs and attack innocent folk?
Do we talk about how your kids can’t read a book at grade level?

What the hell do you want to talk about?

STFU.

That said, I respect the 20% of blacks or so who aren’t like Michelle Obama and that culture of entitlement.

Percent of black voters who voted for Brack Obama:

That is pure racism no matter how they try to spin it.

“First Lady Michelle Obama said on Friday that racial and other prejudices still plague the nation”

Okay, okay, I admit it. I am bigoted against greentards and all other varieties of leftard. I just can’t help myself.

Stop me! Stop me before I discriminate again, in my thoughts and in my speech.

“LGBT”

Woah, there, Dallas: LGBT is not a race, nor is it analogous to race, nor is it similar to race, nor should it be treated the same as race nor mentioned in the same sentence as race. Except, perhaps, to say something like I just said.

Discrimination against people whose same-sex attraction disorder is out of control is an absolute moral duty. Only through discrimination can the young be protected from them.

I must agree with mochelle here.

Blacks are racist and I never fear talking about it.

Talking about race and all their triumphs (over whitey) is what they want to really say. Look how horrible we were treated by whitey, but we have overcome. I’m not saying that whitey did not treat them pretty darn bad and it’s just horrible, but to continue day after day after day in 2014 just seems to re-stir old pots that have long been moved on from and corrected.

“No matter what you do, the point is to never be afraid to talk about these issues, particularly the issue of race, because even today, we still struggle to do that.”

Oh really.. so how come racial categories of crime is no longer published? Here are DoJ statistics showing victims and type of crime. Table 42 shows crimes by type and by race of victim and race of offender.

1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008

I've looked at 2009, 2010, and 2012 DoJ Bureau of Justice Statistics; For example Criminal Victimization, 2010 no mention that I could find of the offender's race. Using Adobe Reader "Find" to search the pdf document for the word offender. And also search for the word race in a separate search.

The Obama/Holder Dept of Just Us pdf files now have a different format and omit listing races of victim and offender. That is what it appears to me. Simple logic says it's true because the facts are extremely damaging for the Victims Industry.

Example: by using DoJ 2007 Table 42 I was able to verify

Patrick J. Buchanan writings in Suicide of a Superpower, “An analysis of ‘single offender victimization figures’ from the FBI for 2007 finds blacks committed 433,934 crimes against whites, eight times the 55,685 whites committed against blacks. Interracial rape is almost exclusively black on white — with 14,000 assaults on white women by African Americans in 2007. Not one case of a white sexual assault on a black female was found in the FBI study.”

Others reported the FBI numbers.

But I could not find 'em in FBI stats.

Turns out that DoJ stats obtained from interviews with tens of thousands of victims of crime match those numbers.

Crimes of violence against whites 3,262,660 and 13.3 % were black offenders; that's 433,934 times
Crimes of violence against blacks 562,470 and 9.9% were white offenders; that's 55,685 times
Crimes of violence against whites by blacks is 7.79 times the number of crimes of violence against blacks by whites.

Also verified was "Not one case of a white sexual assault on a black female was found."

Are facts now considered racist?

Race is not sensitive. It’s a game the far left plays, where a few whites are sissies and fold as soon as America’s enemies mention race. Decent people don’t care about race and haven’t cared for many years. We can talk about race, but we have no interest in so trivial a topic.

As a cultureist, I feel comfortable making critical comments about the urban subcultures that have destroyed most of America’s once great cities. The fact the citizens in question are black is irrelevant to the cultural discussion

She, her husband, their friends and cronies and her two daughters at their swanky, elite private school seem to be doing very well. But in the alternate universe of the First Mooch, this is still a terrible, racist country.

The woman is an idiot.
