This is a very telling snippet regarding the FLOTUS, snipper...

Key quote... “There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.” — Booker T. Washington, Founder.

Truth be told, her intended audience outside the Tuskegee walls also have never read BTW, btw.

I wonder if her audience was disgusted with her remarks. The bobble head sitting next to her was agreeing. I hope that the young college graduates (which is no easy feat) have been raised to learn that you use your brain and not your skin color to get where you want to go. It’s very hard to feel sorry for the Mooch who uses their very own taxpayer money like an ATM machine. I would like to hear an audience member interviewed to see what they really thought of her self serving pathetic speech.

No worries...it’s the message getting out that I’m most concerned about.
