The Obamas talked with People magazine about dealing with their "own racist experiences," as the magazine described.
Michelle Obama told one story that recently took place, even as she was first lady of the United States.
"I tell this story I mean, even as the first lady during that wonderfully publicized trip I took to Target, not highly disguised, the only person who came up to me in the store was a woman who asked me to help her take something off a shelf. Because she didn't see me as the first lady, she saw me as someone who could help her. Those kinds of things happen in life. So it isn't anything new," Michelle Obama, who is 5'11", said.
She also said that her husband, Barack Obama, was asked to get coffee when he was wearing a tux. "He was wearing a tuxedo at a black-tie dinner, and somebody asked him to get coffee," she told People.
The president told his own experiences. "There's no black male my age, who's a professional, who hasn't come out of a restaurant and is waiting for their car and somebody didn't hand them their car keys," Obama told the magazine.
Do wookies work at Target?
“And anyway, what the hell is wrong with helping someone get something from a top shelf.”
Mochelle is a rather tall woman. I’m a 6’1” tall man. Shorter people have occasionally asked me to help them get items off high shelves. Surprise!! Somebody politely sued her fort a similar favor. Her vile attitude shows what a complete racist she is.
Target has top notch security loss control camera systems, they would have video of this event for sure
I’ve been asked to get many items off of shelves for old ladies. I guess I missed my opportunity to make millions by yelling discrimination and filing suit...what is it with these people? They sound like broken records...
I thought it was because I'm tall.
I didn't realize that it was racism/sexism.
Oh the horror! I hope the the peasant was promptly executed.
LMAO! Yeah, right...
"Oh, let's hand the non-uniformed black man our car keys."
Well, here is another coffee story.

NOTE: the survival of our Republic is threatened by two things — fundamentalist Islamic terrorists and Hillary Rodham Clinton. President Bush is leading the fight against the terrorists. It is up to those of us who know the real Hillary Clinton to lead the fight against her. We must shine the light of truth on this dangerous woman so that all Americans may know the real Hillary.
#3 in a series.
This comes from someone I know and whom I trust. No, I am not making this up. You know Hillary. It is not necessary to invent anything.
It is an honor to be a Marine stationed in the White House as a guard. Isn’t it? Well, if you are in the White House when Hillary Clinton is there, perhaps not.
This true story comes from a woman who is very proud of her Marine nephew. I am sure you have heard the stories from Gary Aldrich about how ranking officers were used to serve food in the White House. This particular young Marine, proud to serve his country, was on duty near Ms. Clinton, the first evil lady at the time. It seems that her coffee cup was nearly empty and she had the audacity to tell the guard to go get her more coffee. His proper response with both dignity and respect was, “Ma’am, I’m not allowed to leave my post, ma’am.” But Hillary wouldn’t quit. She ordered him again and he gave the same response. So what did the first evil lady do? SHE THREW THE REMAINING COFFEE FROM HER CUP IN HIS FACE!!!
I have been asked by smaller and older people for help getting things at stores and I have asked others to help me when needed instead of waiting hours for store personnel....never got made or had anybody else get mad but then I am not black or have a chip on my shoulder.
The racist bs is getting very, very old and just pissing me off now....wonder how many other people are having this reaction now. I think the more they push this racist garbage the more they are creating it...and that is the desired effect.
couldn’t have simply been because she is 5-11, most likely taller than the person making the request...nah! had she been 5-4 it might be credible, but... i often get asked to help people get stuff from the top shelf.. and i’m not black.
Wow... She 5’11 right?
Well I am just under 5’ and have to ask ALL THE TIME for strangers to help me get something off the higher shelves.
I don’t care if they are black, white, green, or purple! Did she ever stop to think the person asked ...not because she was BLACK, but because she was tall?
Barack and Michelle are doubling down in their endeavor to create race riots in 2015.
The Rev Jackson and Rev Sharpton School of Race Hustlers probably has a contract with the White House to provide ideas on what the Obama’s need to say to anger the Blacks in the Democrat Ghettos.
What's different about going to a bank or a jeweler and not surprised to see a Jewish person.
Or, go to the county fair and expect to see a red-neck pig farmer.
Or, go to Ninfa's Restaurant and expect to see a Mexican person.
We're being forced to PRETEND that Black people aren't who they are...you know, like the other pretend, "Hands-Up"!
Go get a job and shut-up whining!!
Stories such as this bullshit simply vindicate Joe Wilson.
I’ve been asked to take something off a shelf also. I never assumed it was because they thought I worked at a store. I assumed it was because I looked like a kind/helpful person.
She really does consider herself above us, the little people.
Sucks to go through life with an attitude like she has.
Trevino said, "Well, it depends. In this case, the lady who lives here lets me sleep with her."
The woman rolled up her window and sped off.
Only to someone desperately looking for an opportunity to be offended could that be regarded as even remotely "racist." It sure as hell couldn't have anything to do with the fact she's a tall hairy amazon who was given the chance to actually do something constructive and helpful, could it now... What a b!tch.
If I were there shopping, I would not ask her to get something on the shelf. I would ask her to leave.
By someone who didn’t know the price of arugula, no less!!!
The nerve!!!!!!!!
Obviously Michelle hates little people.
