Every thing is about race with this family! Actually museums have always welcomed everyone, you have to act accordingly in one. You must be quiet and show respect. I am sure some parents know it is not a proper place for their children at an early age. But as a child grows they are able to follow the rules and enjoy all that a museum has to offer...Not sure why Michelle never felt welcome in one.

“Obama said she grew up thinking that museums were not places “for someone who looks like me.”

Well, too much of the old writtings in a museum are in cursive, so we understand.

I am so damn sick of the black crap. God bless every Black conservative - it can’t be easy for you to watch this garbage either.

OMG I can’t stand these race-baiting - woe is me - morons.

[SampleMan]

Museums are not looter friendly. Draw what you will from that.

[TomGuy]

she grew up thinking that museums were not places “for someone who looks like me.”

That statement is about as ridiculous as BJ's 'I have to pay the bills' and Hillary's 'We were flat broke ...'

What is it with politicians and their families that they have to lie and exaggerate?

[GOPJ]

Michelle Obama’s basically right on this one.

Most museums are the equivalent of private clubs for liberal elites... They open the doors to the public to keep their ‘nonprofit’ IRS party rights. Fashion show and dinner anyone? Think 'private club' - that's run 'tax deductible'... And it's true better museums aren't thrilled with children unless they're on a tight leash...(that part I agree with...)

If children don't know how to act and behave they don't belong in museums or concert halls...

[Jack Hammer]

Michelle’s fulla sh*t - just like her husband.

[OttawaFreeper]

Hey people, she raises a valid point (if you consider that Wookies probably have never really belonged in museums).

To think that during my lifetime, the United States actually had someone like Pat Nixon as a First Lady that many greatly admired and respected (as opposed to this “beard” around nowadays). I do not like expressing harsh sentiments like these, but what else can you think or say concerning the narrow minded, puerile worldview she has.

[headstamp 2]

What an utter race-baiting moron.

[Feckless]

just don’t welcome non-white visitors – especially children – the way they welcome whites

Try acting like civilized human beings....

[Frank_2001]

Well, maybe she has a point..I mean look at that name...Whitney!!! Sounds VERY suspiciously WHITE!!! Is it derived from something like WHITE-KNEE??? Racism! Oppression! Eurocentric privilege and elitism! The poor woman has been a victim of Microaggression this day! She needs all of you to send her some reparations! /s;)

[mojito]

I can see how museums might be intimidating for someone utterly ignorant and contemptuous of art and culture, like the first so-called lady.

Maybe some day she'll become interested in this thing called “civilization.”

[Stand Watch Listen]

No Michelle, museums, concerts halls expect certain poise and decorum. Respect, appreciation for the arts, for the artists, to increase one's knowledge are the reason one visits these venues.

"Thugs in-training' of any age, any gender, any race are not appreciated. Perhaps Michelle should revisit the upbringing by the parent(s), any culture that obviates respect.

Stop this constant 'bleating' of victimization. Just take advantages of the many, various opportunities this country offers, as many of poor non-English speaking immigrants have done for ages.

[Clintonfatigued]

It’s official, Michelle Obama is the second-worst First Lady in American history. The worst wants to be the next President.

[parisa]

You must be quiet and show respect.

And therein lies the rub. This duo believe being quiet and showing respect are being forced to act "white".

[Trillian]

The stupid is strong with this one.

[Amagi]

... among the more vile things this despicable FLOTUS has uttered.

[Ghost of SVR4]

“Museums and concert halls,” she said, just don’t welcome non-white visitors – especially children – the way they welcome whites.

Kind of the same way Obama's son's don't even think about them during riots. Or any other time for that matter.

[Altura Ct.]

Museums are for white people

Really? Good! At least they will be safer,

[<1/1,000,000th%]

That’s racist!

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Wasn't Mrs Obama's brother the head basketball coach at a major university and is now I believe on ESPN.

I can understand the First Lady's mental distress.. they never had a real chance having been un-welcomed at the elegant or refined features of our culture.

Just think what they could have been if America wasn't so racist.

[Ditter]

OMG! How did this woman get a degree from college and get into the WH with an attitude and world view like this. She might as well still be living in the ghetto (or as we say in Texas, the quarter) because if she truly believes this then mentally she is still a slave.
