First lady Michelle Obama is encouraging students to monitor their older relatives, friends and co-workers for any racially insensitive comments they might make, and to challenge those comments whenever theyre made.
The first lady spoke on Friday to graduating high school students in Topeka, Kansas, and in remarks released over the weekend, Obama said students need to police family and friends because federal laws can only go so far in stopping racism.

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.

Didn’t the Nazis do something like that with the Jewish population in Germany and eventually elsewhere? Am I right?

“Maybe that starts simply in your own family, when grandpa tells that off-colored joke at Thanksgiving...”
First the health care thing and now this. Why are these fascists always trying to horn in on our family holidays and interject politics?

While they are at it search the house for crack and stolen property for the police.

Off-color means a little dirty, having noting to do with race, stereotypes, or bigotry. “Off-colored” means nothing, and I doubt it’s what she said.
To: demshateGod
Her comment is atrocious.

In my family it would have been tough because my grandfather told jokes about Christians but they were friendly jokes because we are a very mixed family with Catholic to Baptist and everything in between.

If the wife of a republican president had made a similar statement, articles of impeachment would have already been drawn up.

Whatever they are, they’re not a call for reporting racist family members. I think the better narrative is that she’s making these comments while sending her kids to schools that are almost all white.
