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 Ive 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 dont know its me."
What white folks dont understand, its like that is so telling of how white America views people who are not like them. You know, we dont exist. And when we do exist, we exist as a threat. And that, thats 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 didnt apologize, she never looked me in my eye, she didnt know it was me," Obama said. "All she saw was a black person, or a group of black people, or maybe she didnt even see that. Because we were that invisible.

Yup. Doris Day ruined any chance I would ever put any of them on some sort of pedestal when I was a little kid(early 1950’s). Never give celebrities a thought about their ‘status’. Passed Dog the Bounty Hunter in Vegas one time. Just a simple nod and “mahalo”.
“”walking the dogs on the canal””
We are to believe SHE walked her own dogs and OFF White House property? Some people just can’t stop lying. No way would she have taken her dogs and with Secret Service protection to where there ACTUALLY is a canal to walk by....
So, someone constantly fawned over by the media is complaining the don’t get enough attention.
I had bad experiences with negroes, Moochie.
Much, much worse than somebody possibly accidentally cutting in front of you at an ice cream shop.
Oh, and word of advice, lighten up on the Hagen Daz.
It raises your testosterone level.
I read this nonsense and I must shake my head.
What a load of crap.
Michelle Obama is one nasty piece of work.
I never ignored her before, not that I was ever in her august presence.
But if I should be around her in the future, I will definitely ignore her childish self.
Or, maybe she did recognize you and gave you the respect you deserve.
So invisible there’s a photo of her shorts clad butt walking the dog. Everything is racism to her. Her senior thesis at Harvard is case in point.
I cant imagine most people would pet someones dog without first acknowledging the pet owner to see if its OK with them. She would have us believe that this happened over and over. What do I know, Im not likely to pet a strangers dog as it walks past me anyway.
“stopped for ice cream, and a white woman cut in front of them”

It was probably someone buying two scoops for Trump. Alert CNN. https://www.cnn.com/2017/05/11/politics/trump-time-magazine-ice-cream/index.html
And that canal is a bit of a hike from the White Hut. Seriously doubt her fat ass got that far. Not only would she have a security detail, she probably had an army of dog-poop picker uppers. Can’t see her doing that herself.
“”Doris Day ruined any chance I would ever put any of them on some sort of pedestal when I was a little kid(early 1950s).””
Tell me why! She was always a favorite of mine and a perfect night is her movies one after another with Rock Hudson or James Garner AND her WARDROBE in all those movies was the absolute best that Hollywood ever came up with. But I guess being a man, the wardrobe wouldn’t have appealed to you but I dare any woman to say she wasn’t envious of her figure AND wardrobe...
And on the subject of wardrobes and the obozo woman - straight out of the worst nightmares of any fashion designer.
Go to your local Kroger, single out a large black woman, and stare at her. See what happens.
I doubt she ever walks the dogs without cameras present.
My gosh..she rode into the White House on the coattail of her husband, obtaining the high and privileged position of First Lady, left office now with Millions, properties and anything she wants ...yet she dare to plain!
By far she's the worst ever First Lady that came into office an angry black woman with a boulder on her shoulder and left with it there as well..
Walking their dogs on ‘the canal’???
What canal??? There is a canal on White House grounds?
I would think that she couldn’t go anywhere in those 8 years without a Secret Service agent at her elbow. If I encountered a well known person with obvious Secret Service in attendance-—I would not say or do ANYTHING that would get me i trouble. NOT EVEN A HELLO.
You’re obviously more familiar with the area than I am and I didn’t have a clue how far it would be - only know from a lot of reading that there IS a canal somewhere near there.
Tell me where it is, please. I’m curious now. I just read a book (fiction) that featured Venice, CA and I had a ball looking up all those canals; who built the area like that, how the water is drained out and tide brings it back etc. Very interesting. A guy from the East named Kinney is the one who built it all and I tried to find out if he was a member of the Kinney Shoe family but I struck out.
Of course, that’s detracting from where we started - sorry!
Sounds like woke-scold Michelle has a problem with white folks.
Maybe they knew exactly who you are.
But more likely is that both stories are fake. People would notice the secret service and I doubt they would allow someone to walk up and pet the dog.
