Default Inspiring? How?

I dont see anything special in her message. She has a regular, run of the mill, Tea Party speach.

What is the inspiration in her message that makes it different than any other TP speech?

Michelle Obama was looking at her country through the eyes of Black Liberation Theology.

Since the OP mentions racism I'd assume he thinks that since the speech giver is a woman of color the tea party embraces all types.

Edit........I guess the OP didn't mention racism but the word appears in the link so I stand by the above statement.

That's correct.

She's correct.

What she says shouldn't need to be said.....it used to be inherent in our culture.

That may be true, but Mrs. Obama is one of millions of black americans in the democratic party with differing views. Mrs. Obama does not speak for anyone but Mrs. Obama.

Way too many people associate the Tea Party with white racists. But I think that is just a rant. Of course there are racists members of the tea party, just like with any other party.
She just proves to some people ( the once who thinks otherwise ) that black people can think for themselves.

No.

I think that "black liberation theology", "social justice" and "fairness" where no fairness can be legislated is at the very heart of today's progressiveness.

It's clear she's a racist. She hates white people and is trying to disenfranchise us.
