Michelle Obama says she "can't make people not afraid of black people," but can "pick away at the scabs of discrimination" through her life's work.
"As people doubted us coming through — 'Are you Princeton material? Can you really make the grade?' Can you cut it?' — what do you do in those instances? All you can do is put your head down and do the work and let the work, your truth, speak for itself," the former first lady said Tuesday at the Obama Foundation Summit in Chicago.
"I can't make people not afraid of black people. I don't know what's going on. I can't explain what's happening in your head," Obama, 55, continued.
"But maybe if I show up every day as a human, a good human, doing wonderful things, loving my family, loving our kids, taking care of things that I care about — maybe, just maybe that work will pick away at the scabs of our discrimination. Maybe that will slowly unravel it.
"That's all we have," Obama said to applause. "Because we can't do it for them, because they're broken. Their brokenness in how they see us is a reflection of this brokenness. And you can't fix that. All you can do is the work."

Still beating your husband Michelle?
I have more distrust of someone with tattoos all over their neck, face and hands
Yes, I’m afraid I’m an Inkophobe
I distinctly remember back in 2008, that Moochie had said that she was surprised that she got into Princeton with the SAT scores that she had.
Not kidding. She didn’t realize she was an affirmative action promotion.
This is an obsession. No Michelle, you are not that important to me even though you think that you are.
Now if you want to discuss this topic without insults, we can have a fair discourse and we might learn something from each other. However if you start out with the premise that I am a racist, then you won’t get very far.
But she CAN help makE some black people stop hating white people.
But if she’s telling blacks to get their lives in order, take responsibility for themselves and stop expecting/demanding the gubmint to foot the bill, she has my vote for Pope.
“The advice she’s giving black people so white people aren’t afraid of black people is for black people to act responsibly.”
And anyone can make a good first impression of being a responsible person by not looking like a thug.
Data shows that “black” people commit crime in a higher percentage than their percentage of the population. That is why people are “afraid”. It is called “facing reality”.
What does he mean by this?
I quit reading her thesis after the first couple pages because I found several grammatical errors. That told me all I needed to know.
Princeton material, indeed.
“There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.” Jesse Jackson
“Because we can’t do it for them, because they’re broken. Their brokenness in how they see us is a reflection of this brokenness. And you can’t fix that. All you can do is the work.”
Cow? Or Bull?
Here she blows!

Isn’t it a shame that someone put a microphone in front of his mouth?
WTH? Uh, tone deaf moochie? Fookin’ idjit.
I know several blacks that are afraid of other blacks in certain situations.
“Let the Wookie win.”
I suppose that Hitchens found it inscrutable.
So does Michelle happily walk around high crime areas in Chicago and feel safe?
