This is pure rumor:
Reported verbiage from Michelle Obama’s tape
Michelle Obama, “Once again, the white man keeps us down, what’s up with Whitey, Why’d he attack Iraq, Why’d he let Katrina happen, Why’d he leave millions of children behind. This is the legacy the white man gives us.”
Again the above is an alleged quote from a rumored video featuring Michelle Obama.
“Why’d he” isn’t being confused for “whitey”, is it?
Well come back when you have some pure fact and then I'll get interested.
C’mon people. ~smirk~

This racist charge hit Hillary during her senate campaign against Lazio. Guess that she admired the tactics and is using it as a last ditch effort to smear Obama.
I hope no Republican would be so stupid as to break the story until absolutely necessary.
This is my selling point when I talk to democrats about the election. A lot of them don't like either candidate, so right there one has a foot in the door. I gently point out that McCain infuriates the right, that he has always reached across the aisle to compromise and work with Democrats, that there are rumors he once considered becoming a Democrat (untrue, I think, but no harm in pointing out the rumor to a Democrat!), and that his social positions are centrist at best, liberal at worst. I say he is the ideal candidate for them: he'll defend the country but has liberal social positions. In other words, sell McCain as a closeted Democrat.
This approach appears to be making some inroads with Democrat coworkers and neighbors in one of the most liberal counties in the US. Try it, it might work for you.
We deal with facts.
sw
I am not an Obama supported but I am so sick of the Clintons and their underhanded tactics. In the general, I will hold my nose and vote for McCain.
Or scuttlebutt...yup.
If this rumor proves to be true then Michelle Obama is clearly unbalanced.
General deportment issues:
1. The Obamas are much more successful financially than most White people. Only 20% of White people are equal financially or better off fianacially than the Obamas (and Rev Wright)... Most white people do not live in million dollar homes. For a demographic that ONLY encompasas 12% of the population, SOME Blacks especially those with money are always bitchen n moanin about something.
2. Natural disasters like Katrina happen. Government inaction in times of disasters happen. And, in the case of Katrina, more Black people were given assistance than White people especially in Mississippi.
3. About all those children left behind --> What do the Black communities do to ensure that their children get a good education and a normal childhood? Do they work with their children as my father worked with the 7 of us on our school work every single night of the school year? Do they look for opportunities to enrich their childrens' lives? Do the teach their children deportment and manners?
A child is ONLY as great as his/her parent(s) make him/her.
That said --> Take responsibility for every aspect of your child's life.
And, don't give me the BS of a single parent household because after my childrens' father died, I finished the job of raising a 12 and 13 year old alone. Both finished college, love their jobs, and have happy lives.
It takes one to know one.
This puts the tape after August 2005. But, speaking of leaving millions of children behind, she could also be talking about black fathers. One who left his black child behind was Barack Obama's father.
The so-called Rev. Wright and his predecessors have not only extended their “justified rage” back to slavery in the South - a tenet of their cult/religion is that their victimhood extends back through the time of Jesus (The Romans were white Italians, Jesus was colored) and all the way to Pharoah and Moses. You didn’t realize it - but white guilt is 4000 years old!
“Why’d he” appears in the quote three times already. “Whitey” only once. And the one time it appears it’s in context. I think you’re stretching.
The tape is a fake, but the information is accurate :)
There is a NEW AMERICA.....arising...
They have been saying it all along. We thought what they meant was a better AMERICA, a new and improved AMERICA.
NO NO NO remember G** D*** America!!
THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT A NEW unrecognizable America that wipes out and disrespects, in the name of making up for the white mans past, the old America.
We will not recognize our country after the Obama and Co. take over
That's my guess.
So says the primary rumor monger. Take whatever Larry Johnson says with a salt-lick.
Yeah, the more I look at the quote the more damning it looks. If that is the exact quote, her specifying “the white man” twice makes it impossible for her to wiggle out of it. If this is the actual quote then they will try to say that she meant Bush and his policies specifically, then why equate him to all white men?
Did you hear the rumor about N.Y.'s Governor and the prostitute?
