Michelle Deserves Pity, but the Rest of Us Deserve More (We do indeed deserve more!!!)
American Thinker.com ^ | September 12, 2020 | Mark DeVine

The equation "racial disparities = systemic racism" has achieved axiom status in the science of social justice. Recently, Michelle Obama upped the ante of racism's reach by lowering the bar for its detection even farther. Her recent podcast interview detailing the many racist blows and jabs she's absorbed and the pain inflicted thereby should evoke pity for her — and also for all who must contend with the societal fallout Michelle's particular brand of "suffering" portends.

Consider the white racist attacks Michelle recounts. "Daily slights. People talk over you." Buckle up. There's more. "People will come up and pet my dogs but will not look me in the eye." Then this: While waiting in line for ice cream with her daughters, Michelle O. tells us, "a white woman cut right in front of us." She reports that white students assigned to room with her in college changed their dorm assignments because they did not want to room with a black person.

With eloquence and feeling, Michelle describes the devastating impact of the "daily slights" received from white people — they "change the shape of your soul." In the parlance of social justice ideology and Critical Race Theory, the "soul change" Michelle undergoes is called "inheriting the wound" of America's systemic racism. Its effects are real in the sense that they may be sincerely felt.

Michelle's recounting of her experience of being a black woman in America is disturbing and even moving. "When I'm just a black woman, white people don't even see us. That is so telling of how white America views people who are not like them. We don't exist. And when we do exist, we exist as a threat. And that's exhausting."

Self-pity and self-loathing are a couple of the major problems in the dysfunctional black culture. Michelle and the Left don’t help - they fan the flames of degradation.

Those blacks who have walked away from that quagmire should do more to call out those and other traits of the dysfunctional black culture that binds so many blacks to the low-life they don’t have to live.

As far as I see, the way to prevent racism is segregation by country border

This is Mrs. Obama hiking in Spain a few years ago...the people around her are her security detail.

Racism is real and it's ugly. So is lying.

Yeah, poor thing. Never was able to attain her proper position in the world, because, well, we all KNOW why. Yup, crap attitude.

I have NONE to spare.

And I care deeply that she’s trying her best (with that spouse of hers) to stir up muck again and again.

Mooochelle lives a rich life of privilege, and all she had to do was pretend to like someone who got elected president through his rich life of privilege.

Thanks to their rich lives of privilege, they feel they can condemn us as racists.

Well, remember she had to live in a house built by slaves. This allegedly caused her great agony.

On a 1-10 scale, with 10 being violent death and 1 being an up-down glance, I would guess Ms Obama has suffered no offense over a three.

Spare us.

The female Wookie is so unique and distinct, that everybody should instantly recognize her to pay her the respect she’s due.

I guess I didn’t know she was tatted. Not to be judgy, but I wonder what she chose to put on the guns.

To: Coffee... Black... No Sugar

Yes. That surprised me, too. I detest tattoos. Defacing your body with ink is just stupid. Most people regret it, a few years later. But it I surely a sign of ‘wokeness’ for the bleating masses.

My heart bleeds. Wait... that’s a lie. In truth, I have no sympathy for Marxist scum, regardless of skin color.

Michelle Deserves Pity....

Pity? No. Sympathy? No. Scorn and derision? YES! This is a woman who has benefited from all the best this country has to offer - Princeton, Harvard, lucrative employment (in some cases consisting of no-show jobs), and eight years as First Lady with perks most of us can't even dream of and now cushy highly remunerative board positions ..... but it's not enough?! F*** you, Mike!

"People will come up and pet my dogs but will not look me in the eye."

Lady, I'm going to look past you or over you and treat you like you're not ever there. It has nothing to do with race. I do that to all democRATs.

Looks like she peed her pants. No wonder why no one wants to look her in the eye!

Hey perpetually sad and mad Michelle, how is your Martha’s Vineyard estate doing?
