First Lady Michelle Obama urged students at Tuskegee University, a historically black university in Alabama, to remain involved in civic life during a time of tension regarding race relations across the country.
At the school's commencement address, the First Lady listed scenarios in which African-Americans feel they encounter systemic discrimination, such as "nagging worries that you're going to get stopped or pulled over for absolutely no reason." She said those feelings are "real," but disengaging is not an option.
"I want to be very clear that those feelings are not an excuse to just throw up our hands and give up. Not an excuse. They are not an excuse to lose hope. To succumb to feelings of despair and anger only means that in the end, we lose," Obama said.

Obama noted that events like those in Baltimore and Ferguson have generated feelings of futility amongst black men and women who believe the institutions of civil society aren't designed to protect or represent them.
"They're rooted in decades of structural challenges that have made too many folks feel frustrated and invisible. And those feelings are playing out in communities like Baltimore and Ferguson and so many others across this country," she said.
Obama pressed the students to vote to ensure those institutional systems work more equitably.
"The first thing we have to do is vote. Hey, no, not just once in a while. Not just when my husband or somebody you like is on the ballot. But in every election at every level, all of the time,"

This is a total 100% blatant, massive lie.
This lie explains and is all the evidence needed to show nothing will placate these people because facts do not matter. Reality simply doesn’t matter. Agendas based in liberal fantasy matter.
I wonder if she realizes just how many black groups, organizations, clubs, institutions, and non-profits she’s totally insulted by this flippant, bald-faced lie.
I wonder if they will realize this and be rightly offended.
That was only HALF of the info -
Here’s the whole rundown

And Booker Washington never got freed snd never got to go to school until he was ten and taught himself how to write like this eloquent quote shows. He wasn’t afraid his peers would accuse him of acting white.
Thanks for posting that link. It are helps to tell the story such that even the idiots should be able to understand.

From your link. The State Attorney Mosby sounds like an 9th grader when she speaks, and it appears she acts like one as well. That photo of her looks like something someone with the emotional maturity of an 8th grader would post on their Instagram account. She obviously thinks quite a bit of herself.
Does this token have any idea what white middle-class taxpayers have been feeling for decades (struggling to provide for their families - or even have them - while feeding, housing, and clothing so many of those invisible blacks)?
Watch TV commercials these days, and there absolutely has (HAS) to be a black man who is the good neighbor to the white guy, and they must depict black families as intact "Huxatable-esque" families. In Baltimore, for example, on 16% of black teens come from intact, two parent families, and I suspect that statistic is rather optimistically high.
The reality is that many blacks are the most racist people on the planet. Look at this news story about a Cheerios commercial. A white woman is married to black man and has a mixed race, cut daughter. They not only had to pull the commercial, but Youtube had to pull the link because of the hateful comments from blacks.

Remember, when Nicole Brown Simpson was beheaded and slaughtered by OJ Simpson? I listened to interviews with black women on the news, and they basically said the blond Nicole "had it coming for taking away one of their own men."
Literally. Unbelievable.
cut = cute
They got visible in Baltimore...not a pretty sight!
INVISIBLE BLACKS
Another “Invisible Black” who is always in your face - Oprah Winfrey
Two More “Invisible Blacks” who are always in your face - Barack and Moochie Obama
Moochie must not recall meeting or or even being aware of Oprah Winfrey - probably the most visible and most well know black woman in the world and worth almost $3 BILLION DOLLARS!
Too bad Moochie doesn’t recall entertaining Oprah at the White House multiple times.
Or watching hubbie Barack on Oprah’s TV show multiple times.
There are so many “Invisible Blacks” shoved in our faces all day every day that I have to watch old movies on TV to see a situation, a family or a story not stuffed chock full of gratuitous blacks.
She’s gone full retard.
Well said. The only thing that can unite diverse people is the love of Jesus Christ. Everything else is just a smokescreen and will be revealed as such.
So true; the feeble attempt at social engineering on TV makes it unwatchable. They completely control the airwaves, while more and more people turn on a computer instead of a TV anyway; they are left preaching to the choir.
IMO, she’s a common, hate-filled black woman, and America is filled with them.
She cannot live without jealousy, complaint and hatred in her heart.
They cannot accept or shoulder their own responsibilities, and so have destroyed their men, their children, their communities.
Shall we be honest about this?
I cannot believe that I'm agreeing with Michelle Obama. Hell must be having an ice hockey tournament today. However, my solutions would no doubt be different from most of whatever blather she put forth following those remarks.
Honorary Nanny State PING nonetheless.
Thanks for the ping!
I watched this mornings coverage of this speech on CBS This Morning. They celebrated this speech, however the speech was quite the opposite.
Michele was confrontational, divisive, angry, resentful.
It is no surprise rce relations are in the toilet, the Omaba’s are throwing gas on a dying ember and starting a fire.
For the first time, I am ashamed of my country for electing this horrible person president.
