I missed this last week, but former first lady Michelle Obama made quite the allegation. In an episode of her podcast, Mrs. Obama claimed that "white America" behaves as though black women don't exist. She shared a few anecdotes as evidence.
“When I’ve been completely incognito, during the eight years in the White House, walking the dogs on the canal, people will come up and pet my dogs, but will not look me in the eye," Obama said on “The Michelle Obama Podcast.” "They don’t know it’s me."
“What white folks don’t understand, it’s like that is so telling of how white America views people who are not like them. You know, we don’t exist. And when we do exist, we exist as a threat. And that, that’s exhausting."
Mrs. Obama then recalled another instance when she and a few friends stopped for ice cream, and a white woman cut in front of them. She “didn’t apologize, she never looked me in my eye, she didn’t know it was me," Obama said. "All she saw was a black person, or a group of black people, or maybe she didn’t even see that. Because we were that invisible.”

Worst anecdotal example of racism ever.
“When I’ve been completely incognito, during the eight years in the White House, walking the dogs on the canal, people will come up and pet my dogs, but will not look me in the eye,” Obama said on “The Michelle Obama Podcast.” “They don’t know it’s me.”
Anyone else think this a very narcissistic comment?
Is it really racial, or is this a matter of the famous Michelle Obama, 1st Lady at the time, being upset that some of her subjects didn’t bow down to her, didn’t realize who she was? Is that really what is upsetting her about such encounters????
Me, me, me! Look at me! “They don’t know it’s me!”
Michael, you’re not that important, get over yourself!
Projection. Black men certainly act like black women don’t exist. That’s fact.
Ironically, they seem to be the only ones happy about hooking up with white women too. They hit’em and quit’em.
Then the white women wonder why white male suckers aren’t continuing to line up to get eviscerated and enslaved by them any more.
Perhaps it was the squad of her fully armed Secret Service protectors surrounding her that caused people not to “look her in the eye” when she was out walking her dogs.
I wouldn’t spend much time on this. With a few noteworthy exceptions black women are just lost and unreachable. If Queen Obama wants to pander to black women it doesn’t matter much, the rats get ninety eight percent of that vote anyway.
So true, I guess she isn't too smart to offer up that ridiculous example as her best.
After eight years as the first lady. Or first whatever.
IF it even happened! Keep in mind, the accuser is a crossdresser. If Mike can’t be truthful about who he is; how can we believe anything else he sez? JMHO.
A couple of times I have bumped into famous people in passing. Did I ask them for their autograph? Gush and tell them I loved their work? No, I essentially ignored them and treated them as I would any other person I don’t know. I figured they get hounded enough as it is and don’t need it from me.
So if I bumped into Michael walking his dogs, I might comment on the dog, nice day, and that’s it. Anyway, what are the chances you see him without bodyguards? Seems unlikely.
"Someone didn't recognize me and feed into my blatant Racist Narcissism... So White people suck..."
Or did I miss something?
Unfortunately, we know you all to well. You hate America. And you hate most white “folks”.
Right...”completely incognito” on those dog walks.
With 6-8 Secret Service Agents in front and behind her.
As if anyone in the President’s family goes for a walk in D.C. without Secret Service protection.
Grenell said...”I saw Alice Johnson”
This tripe said by the first black woman to be the FLOTUS. Yep, she and her husband got ignored right into the White House for eight of the longest years of my life.
If I see one of them walking around... I'll let EVERYONE know.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Look in the DSM-5 and her picture is there.
Maybe she's been reading about Disney Princesses sneaking out of the Castle without her Guard contingent and having adventures...
