Yes, Michelle, It's Because You're Black
Townhall.com ^ | December 17, 2014 | John Ransom

Michelle Obama wants you to feel bad for her, and for Barack, because they are black.

“I think people forget that we’ve lived in the White House for six years,” Michelle says in People Magazine. “Before that, Barack Obama was a black man that lived on the South Side of Chicago, who had his share of troubles catching cabs.”

Oh, the horror.

Why didn’t the emperor clean up Chicago neighborhoods with his pen and his phone while he was there? Cabs likely would have stopped more frequently if the city, especially the South and West Sides, wasn't infested by crime.

No doubt there is racism in Chicago, a city I lived in longer than Barack Obama did.

But much of it is the latent kind—and it’s committed by both whites and blacks.

Chicago, you’ll remember, is a city that is home to the Jesse Jacksons, both senior and junior.

And as a white man, remind me to tell you the times I’ve had trouble catching a cab in the rain or the cold in Washington, D.C, another city in which I lived longer than Barack Obama did.

No doubt there is racism in D.C. and much of it is the active kind.

D.C. is a city where Mayor-for-Life Marion Barry, despite his many crimes, succeeded as a race baiter because he was black.

Michelle Obama goes on to say that she’s been mistaken for a worker at Target.

Oh, the horror.

Why don’t you try being a worker at Target, Michelle, which after all is an honorable job?

Because there was the time I remember when I was flagged down as a bus boy at the Ritz Carlton. No mistake there. I was an actual bus boy at the Ritz Carlton as an adult because it was the best job I could get. And it was damn hard, honorable, good-paying work for someone who was a writer.

I was very happy to have the opportunity.

See, what Michelle fails to mention is how much she owes America for the opportunity.

What other country in the world would have given Barack Hussein Obama a chance at a time when the word is engaged in a vast war against radical Islam?

Then there is the matter of Obama’s mansion in Chicago.

What other country in the world would have overlooked the crooked payoff the Obamas got-- not just from Tony Rezko, who made their mansion purchase possible-- but from the entire Chicago Outfit, including major media, like the Chicago Tribune? The Tribune endorsed Obama despite knowing EXACTLY who Barack Obama was.

Yes, no doubt there is racism in this country. But it is a product of both sides, black as well as white. And most definitely, on average, the Obamas have benefited from such racism.

After all, they have not suffered from the real racism endemic to America: The education system has served them both very well; there have been no extended periods of unemployment for either of them; Barack has not been incarcerated over petty drug dealing; if Obama suffers from a shortened life span it will likely because of his smoking, not his race.

Where real racism amongst blacks resides is in education, employment, incarceration and longevity. And Michelle and Barack have no real experience in actually solving any of those problems. In fact, Obama killed the one education program in D.C. aimed at giving blacks an equal footing in regards to education.

And oh, let me tell you, that’s horrible.

And racist too.

The Obamas have received abundantly from this country because they are black.

It’s time for them to stop scolding a country that gave them so much.

And give back because they are black.

one of those leftie “Presidential historians” said on the IMUS show that Obama was a genius -

Imus asked “What is Obama’s IQ?”

- The historian said “I don’t know - but it is way up there!”

- (everything about Obama is unsubstantiated BS)

These delusional racist privileged blacks actually believe that they have been victims of racism.
There's nothing I or any other non-black can do to fix that.

But similarly, I am not going to accept restructuring my life, that of my family and my community, based on their dissatisfaction of their sheltered, pampered and privileged life. Or on their imagined victimization by people 2600 miles away.

As my favorite Dim California Senator is so wont to say, "Deal with it, Hussein!"

Years ago in NYC the media tried to invent a taxi scandal based on race; it quickly died out when it became clear that black cabbies were the ones avoiding them (because they were being killed by them).

Being dirt poor negroes and accustomed to being discriminated against, they were unable to pay the full $1.95 asking price and had to seek

Holy cra*! (pardon my French.)

$1.95?
Even for Chicago, that seem like a bargain. How long ago was that?

What gets me is, that it is exactly because of his race, that Obama hasn’t been frog marched out of the White House and tried for all of his many treasonous crimes, or at the very least, held accountable and brought up on impeachment charges.

Guaranteed, if it were a white man in office, doing the same things Obama has done, Democrat OR Republican, he’d be facing some serious charges and many more would be doing something about it. And if he were a white Republican....he’d have been sent packing 2 years into his first term. IMO

You probably meant "Hory Clap !!!

$1.95?

Just joking about the $1.95.

The Obama's Chicago home was actually priced at almost $2 million million and they were able to buy it for $1.65 million.

That didn't include the adjacent extra strip of vacant land they bought to expand their yard.

So their cries of being victims of discrimination are about as valid as Hillary's claims of being dirt poor and dead broke.

Remember this - wearing a cheap raincoat means you may be a hooker, no matter your skin color.

Yes, it's true.

Those cheap raincoats have gotten many a nice young lady in trouble.

The entire incident is what leftist call a DOG-WHISTLE.

Michelle Obama and the Hussein were not speaking to the entire country, they were only speaking to their black/brown base.

They could care less what the other parts of the electorate think about what they said.

The meaning of their statement to their black/brown base is as follows:

Yo, The man cannot see any of us as anything except servants/slaves. Even ME, I have to endure what all of US have endured, to be seen as the slave class because THEY are racist no-goods. So no matter how HiGH you go, you still suffer. We suffer with you, baby.

_________

No matter that these are blatant lies, that Michelle Obama cannot enter a building without the SS troopers wanding and only allowing fully vetted people near her. No matter that the president has never stood in front of a hotel by himself since entering the White House. No matter at all. The Dogwhistle is all that matters. Sowing more seeds of racial discontent and warfare.

Remember that Leftist care not what the white middle class thinks.

“How about pay to GET it??”

Once. I was at a hotel in Chicago after a business meeting and dressed in a good suit. I decided to have a drink at the bar before heading up to bed and ordered a Scotch. As I finished it a very attractive woman walked over to me and set down another. I thought she was a bar maid and told her I hadn't ordered another. She smiled and said that she had bought it for me. I said “Thank you, you're very friendly” she informed me that she could get a lot friendlier for the right price. I must have turned bright red and stammered and could hardly talk. I think she actually felt sorry for me! Anyhow, no sale.

She ought to be grateful for that. If I saw her while I was living on Mt. Lassen in California, I would have called in a Sasquatch sighting.
