Michelle Obama says as Black Americans, she and former President Obama "never could've gotten away with some of the stuff that's going on now" in the White House because their "community wouldn't have accepted that."
The former first lady opened up about race in an episode of her eponymous Spotify podcast released this week.
Speaking with her mother, Marian Robinson, and her brother, Craig Robinson, in a show focused on parenting, Obama recalled the time as a child when her older sibling got stopped by the police.
"You were riding down the street and you got stopped by the police, and they accused you of stealing your own bike," Obama remembered. "And they would not believe you, to the point where you were like, 'Take me to my home.'"
Craig Robinson, now an executive director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, said the incident when he was 10 or 11 years old was "terrifying" and left him "heartbroken," especially because he was "always taught that the police are your friends ... and they'll believe the truth."
"What a lot of folks who are not in our position don't understand is that this is such a way of life when it comes to interacting with the rest of the world," Obama said. "It doesn't matter who you are and what kind of values you have, nobody thinks about the fact that we all come from good families that are trying to teach values."

P.S. Uh, moochie. You do know berry is half white right?
Big Mike mad!
Well if you did what Trump is doing the Dem Party would have Hung you
She brought bammy to that "church".
She's the black nationalist at heart and in action.
Shut up you big wide ass clown.
LOL!
I smell fear in Big Mike
Barry with his feet on the Resolute Desk told me all I needed to know about him.
Trump’s got to be the most investigated president in history, and they still got nothing. With Obama, however, everybody was curiously incurious about what he was about.
Hey, Michael! How many “czars” has President Trump appointed? Dickwad!
To quote the fruitcake lady from Leno’s tonight show:
“Some people are both a**holes, live their whole lives a**holes, and die a**holes.”
That story doesn’t sound any different than Obama’s view of ‘holding to their guns and religion.’ He is as biased and stereotyping as those supposed policmen. He should check his hypocritical privilege first before lobbing mortars at the police.
“What a lot of folks who are not in our position don’t understand is that this is such a way of life when it comes to interacting with the rest of the world,” Obama said. “It doesn’t matter who you are and what kind of values you have, nobody thinks about the fact that we all come from good families that are trying to teach values.”
13 do 50. There are plenty of places on the planet where there are basically no white people. We are only about 11% of the world’s population, and that’s falling rapidly. Go someplace we are not. Like Detroit or Memphis, for instance. I would love to go somewhere you are not, but that is increasingly not an option.
Lucky for us the democommies now want to investigate the investigation of the investigation to see if the investigation was investigated properly. Or something. IOW, russia probe, muledeer investigation, Durham investigation........
Benghazi
FU Chewbacca!
What in the blazes is she ranting about? Liar.
Yes, curiously incurious. Or maybe just agree with his Marxist agenda.
She is such a moron!
I’ll tell you what you did not get away with, Michelle.
The ATTEMPTED COUP that you and your fellow perpetually unhappy co-conspirators.
Thank Heaven you did not get away with it!
