Michelle Obama thinks it’s racist that someone at Target asked for her help with something.
Perhaps the most frustrating thing about Obama’s Presidency is the thing that makes it especially unique: his family’s race. It was certainly a factor during both of his presidential campaigns. And the Obamas are still playing the race card, despite holding the loftiest positions of power in the entire world. You’d think that between running the events at the White House and pushing health food, Michelle Obama would have something else to complain about besides being asked to help someone at Target. But during an interview with People, Michelle and Barack opened up about “racist” experiences they have had before and during their time at the White House.
Barack has been mistaken for a valet. Michelle wasn’t mistaken for anything besides being someone helpful. It’s almost as if human interaction that isn’t designed around them is necessarily racist.
See the interview on page 2.
Two things:
1) She should be thankful that people actually think she works for a living. That is, instead of doing whatever it is that she does.
2) With 50+ years of significant economic and social support, some socioeconomic groups have just not taken advantage and moved up the ladder as a group. The rest of society notices. Is that the fault of the rest of society?? Isn’t it natural to try to have your kids do a little better that yourself??
Perhaps the woman just asked the nearest tall person for help…
It’s definitely a case of Mrs. Obama jumping to conclusions, a.k.a. prejudice. Many accusations of racism are, in fact, racist. You interact with a person of another race, and ironically prejudge that person as a racist.
I can see someone asking her for help in getting an item down from the shelf. Jeez, she’s as tall as (and looks like) Sasquatch.
they are a disgrace to AMERICA get the f**k out!!!!! u aint wanted here in my country!
She is married to a public servant… just sayin.
what a joke these ‘people’ are.
What, didnt they have a ball protector her size?
Did it ever cross Michelle Obama’s mind that maybe she was asked to help get something off the shelf because she was tall enough to reach and not because she was black? What a POS
I’m white and from time to time people at a store to help them because they think I work there. And I’ve asked people for help thinking they worked there. They were white. It wasn’t racism, it was a mistake. But if a black person asked me for help I wouldn’t cry racism. If you want to see racism everywhere you look that’s what you’ll see. And how many of these stories are even true?
I don’t know if you are aware but many foreigners has labeled America as one of the most racist countries in the world & the mistake was allowing yourself to think that because of your husbands half breed ancestry you would actually make a difference sweetie this is in their blood their country was built off of it why do you think that NBA players took the stand that they did that cost that racist his whole team with his wife coming back begging the association to not affiliate her with his actions and to allow the team to be ran on her behalf these are millionaires just like you and right after your husband was elected you became the united states of america Whitehouse black monkey others have held the honor of just being the first lady but I will say that they did try to find a way to accept you by feverishly searching for any ounce of white ancestry that could possibly given your complexion be found in you found anywhere no matter the amount of generations they had to resort back to round of applause it took work but they came they saw and they found !
