Ric Grenell Responds to Michelle Obama's Claim that America Ignores Black Women(photo warning!)

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.”

Projection. Black men certainly act like black women don’t exist. That’s fact.

You don't say.

Remember when we were supposed to believe that she slipped out of the White Hose alone to go pick up some necessities, like toilet paper, at Target? Supposedly some equally awful white person asked her to reach something for them that was on a high shelf, because they mistook her for a Target employee. How dare they!
The Democrats stated peddling stories like this back when the Clinton’s appeared on the national stage with their friends from Hollywood who taught the Democrats to stage political stunts and make up stories like this to prove the politician is “one of us” who “cares”. Remember “The Man From Hope”?

It’s the C&O Canal. Not very large. Think mule on path pulling small flatbed boat. It runs through Georgetown and is a popular spot for runners in the DC area. The path is nice and flat, although narrow as it winds through Georgetown. I believe it ran all the way to Lake Erie at one point in history. Lots of creepy homeless people living along it. I used to run there at lunch as there were lots of other runners and bikers so it was safe. No freakin way Michelle Antoinette every walked it!

I initially thought the conspiracy of Michelle Obama as a tranny, as outlandishly funny. But after watching that Ellen workout video at least a year ago, I have been completely convinced that it’s true! Until that is believably explained away, I will remain convinced that is a male human.

She should go to atypical theme park. Like Six Flags outside of DC. You just have to accept that roving bands of black teenagers are going to cut in front of you, and nobody is going to do a thing about it, because theme parks don’t like news reports of riots and stabbings.

Exactly.

One of my favorite TV shows ever was and still is Barney Miller.

Once at a restaurant in NYC, Hal Linden and his family were at the next table.

“Hey, cool, Hal Linden is next to us” I said quietly to the rest of the table.

That was the end of it.

“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,"
Perhaps as you say "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."

"Completely Incognito" - right.

For me, I'd pet the dogs, but not make any sudden moves and certainly not tell her what I thought about her hubbie to avoid being shot nor make eye contact.

For Hillary, as 1st "Lady" no one was to make eye contact with her in the WH. We peons are not worthy. ;-) "

Of course not. I can spot a female impersonator a mile away or at least across the bar. ;-)

C&O Canal - That is the name I remember from the books I’ve read...when it played a part in a story. Chesapeake and Ohio? It always included some of the history - cabins along the canal? I wish I could remember the author of the books that wrote about it - one character lived in one of them. The cabins all had names with plaques attached on them.

It very well could have run to Lake Erie. I grew up in upstate NY and I can’t even remember the name of the canal there - Erie Canal? There was a song about it! Yep - The Erie Canal Song - Low Bridge, Everybody Down. Boy - am I dating myself!!! I’m sure when we sang that as kids, we didn’t have a clue what it meant.

I’m with you - I don’t believe that obama woman ever walked her dogs - on the grounds of the WH or outside the grounds! That is what Mychal Massie calls her and it fits so I’ve adopted it!

Two room school house - that’s different and it had to be long, long ago - I’m sorry!! LOL - No doubt as old as me which is pretty darned old!!!

I’ve heard of one room school houses where I grew up in upstate NY but my siblings and I didn’t go to one. Had cousins in PA who did. My siblings and I started and finished 12 years of school in the same school - bused to town from our farm and then had to move to town because of my father’s bad health so I walked to/from school. Only two of us were left as the older two were married and on their own...BOTH locations had pluses and great memories. We were fortunate and blessed in many ways.

I didn’t believe it for a long time. Now I totally believe it. Those two are the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on this country.

Like 1955-56 or so 3rd grade if I remember right. (Yeah good luck with that.) My dad was from the Hudson River Valley area.

“”Like 1955-56 or so 3rd grade if I remember right.””

WOW - I do owe you an apology - I graduated from high school in 1954...Just the idea of a one or two room schoolhouse would indicate that it was eons ago - that’s really amazing especially for the Monterey area...
