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 they’re 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.
“[O]ur laws may no longer separate us based on our skin color, but nothing in the Constitution says we have to eat together in the lunchroom, or live together in the same neighborhoods,” she said. “There’s no court case against believing in stereotypes or thinking that certain kinds of hateful jokes or comments are funny.”
To address these limitations in the law, Obama asked students to take steps to “drag my generation and your grandparents’ generation along with you” in the fight against racism.
“Maybe that starts simply in your own family, when grandpa tells that off-colored joke at Thanksgiving, or you’ve got an aunt [that] talks about ‘those people,’” she said. “Well, you can politely inform them that they’re talking about your friends.

Or anything disparaging against 0bama ....
What frightens me is that these people see our laws
as “limitations” on their behavour.
Continued leadership of this kind leads to oppression,
hell it IS oppression.
Executive orders are the Fuhrerprinzip writ large.
This is not, NOR the founders government and the sooner
we get back to it the better.
Next step is reporting the people who disagree. Name, address, etc. A simple datawarehousing app will check what their political affiliation is and the Democraps will take it from there.
... and this woman who brings up her race all the time calls “me” a racist when I say SHE is inciting racism by bringing it up all the time?
Sorry, nor=NOT...
My daughter’s mother in law said something racially inappropriate this weekend. She also doesn’t like gays. I thought “What the hell. It’s a wash.”
Hitler Youth returns - for our own good, I guess.
Mark
Or Pol Pot.
Thanksgiving dinners haven’t been tense enough since these turkeys began squatting in the White Hut?
Now they want the kids to rat out their elders. Yeah, that’s sure to bring us all together.
In other words, report your crazy assed cracka family members to the government.
“One of the hallmarks of a totalitarian regime: children spying on their families for thought crimes.”
Just what happened in Germany under Hitler.
Next, she will have a website where children are to report their parents and grandparents to the thought police.
Michelle - clean up your own act.
It will do a lot to decrease negative comments.
and the USSR
There have been several reports about universities mandating seminars and orientation programs about whit privilege. Pure institutionalized racism ....yet will they turn these racists in?
“With everyone from the NSA to local traffic cams monitoring us, do we need informants.”
Informants (e.g., your neighbor) are a key feature of Communism.
The sun on the meadow is summery warm.
The stag in the forest runs free.
But gather together to greet the storm.
Tomorrow belongs to me.
The branch of the linden is leafy and green,
The Rhine gives its gold to the sea.
But somewhere a glory awaits unseen.
Tomorrow belongs to me.
The babe in his cradle is closing his eyes
The blossom embraces the bee.
But soon, says a whisper;
“Arise, arise,
Tomorrow belongs...
To me!
