Welcome to AmeriKa 2014. We are governed by a Regime that thinks itself Royalty. Is this nation ever going to wake up? It is shameful that we and our Congress have allowed it to get to this point. Children turning-in parents is exactly what Nazi Germany did and what Pol Pot had children do in Cambodia. Wake up, AmeriKa!!!
Who the hell is talking about children turning in their parents. She told Seniors grauating high school to say something to the person if they make a racist comment in the workplace, at the dinner table, etc.
Seriously there is nothing even remotely Controversial about her comment, et the righties go ape s***.
Perhaps because it was in relation to the 60th Anniversary of Brown vs the Board of Education in Topeka??
Fair enough......just today she ought to give them joy, not victimhood. Tell them what they can be, not that she comes from slavery, right here in the United States. Any where else she probably would not be First Lady.......she acted as if the USA hasn't advanced much.
There are not many points where I would agree with Michelle, but I think she's !00% right on this one. If you let someone slide for dissing someone based on skin, you're letting them diss a fellow American and brother/sister. Why let them get away with that unless you're some kind of wuss who can't speak up?
Only caveat is that this is vanishingly rare, at least among my friends and family. Even homophobia is on its way out.

Where does "brother/sister" come into it? Oh, do you mean "brotha" and "sista"? In that case, right on my ****a! Keepin' it real!

We have gone a long way, but aren't completely there yet, and you have the power to help make that change complete is victimhood?? On what planet??
You've said that a few times in this thread which leads me believe you want someone to ask you what turned you into a racist. So I'm asking...... I'm more inclined to believe that you just came out of the closet as a racist. It's been there all along but you didn't show it, maybe didn't even know your true feelings until a black family moved into the White House.
Could it be a personal experience......one can say things, doesn't mean they have to share. Not everything results in hating the President.

"Let someone".....that could be a bad conversation.

Why don't you actually read the speech and get back to us. It was all about advancement and how far we've come in 60 years since the Brown vs the Board of Education decision that actually started at the school she was speaking at. And why is it that so many Obama haters on this thread assume she was speaking to a mostly black audience? I've seen nothing to back that assumption up.
You both seem angry, after listening to the First lady her hateful views of America have not changed. She doesn't believe America has come any farther than the 50's why is that? Oprah is rich, rappers are rich, NFL/NBA players are making $$$$ where is it that blacks are still in the 50's stuck in the soup line?
Some people cast stones about the past and forget they told everyone else to move forward. What's up with a depressing speech, about the 1950's.
You didn't listen to her speech did you? In no way was it depressing.
