Former First Lady Michelle Obama commemorated Juneteenth on Friday with a statement suggesting that those who have protested — in the past and present — have “led us forward.”
“Even though the story has never been tidy, and Black folks have had to march and fight for every inch of our freedom, our story is nonetheless one of progress,” Obama said, referring to her grandfathers, whom she said were the grandchildren of enslaved people.
They grew up in the Jim Crow south and “migrated north in search of a better life,” she continued:

Did she mention their African grandfathers that sold them into slavery and dragged them onto the ships? Probably not.
Hey, Big Mike, STFU! Joementia’s handlers are not going to make you the ‘RAT party VP candidate (wrong sex).
For a hulking homely woman of no discernible talent, Michelle Robinson Obama has done very well in life. Her key play: agreeing to serve as the beard for an ambitious but mediocre gay man - and then joining him on the world’s greatest-ever affirmative action ride.
Evil witch.
I wish President Trump would demand at least 5 debates with Biden that must least a minimum of 3 hours straight and be moderated by Tucker Carlson. I bet he would have Biden lost in a severe case of dementia and rambling like someone who belongs in a straight jacket before the first hour is up.
And this is from a woman who made $450,000 a year getting poor blacks evicted from prime real estate areas in Chicago.
Talk about a “race traitor”!
Has anyone EVER heard the Obamas or any other Black activists even mention “Juneteenth” before Pres Trump planned his rally on that day?
Juneteenth? What language is that? Are we back to Ebonics again? I have no idea what it is but I am sure its another made up holiday to try and make the country look bad. I have too much self respect to play such a stupid childish game with retarded liberals. F Juneteenth and the horse it rode in on!
Forward to what? Communism and destruction?
The Obamas are a mistake that keeps haunting us.
Spoken like a true,dyed in the wool commie.
So juneteenth is the day that Texas slaves were freed. Even though that day was actually the emancipation order 6 months earlier or the thirteen amendment 6 months later. Juneteenth is not actually celebrating anything more than Texas slaves being legally freed by a union general, not the state of Texas itself. How did I live 59 years and never hear of this.
Can I quote you?
Today I celebrated and honored Juneteenth by eating a double cheese burger.
The obamas are your enemy, folks. She is talking about the rioters.

Well said. In short, The beard of the usurper.
Put your weeny back in your pants and go away “Mrs Obunga!”
Did she even acknowledge this milestone date last year?
