Michelle Obama To White People, ‘Ya’ll Are Still Running’ From Black People


             “I want to remind white folks that y’all were running from us…” ~Michelle Obama
Michelle Obama, the wife of former President Obama, said it is her “life’s work” to help to remove the “scabs of discrimination.”


It is a noble cause and one that everyone should support, but her way of doing it is to continue to blame white people.

“As people doubted us coming through — ‘Are you Princeton material? Can you really make the grade?’ Can you cut it?’” she said.

“What do you do in those instances? All you can do is put your head down and do the work and let the work, your truth, speak for itself,” she said.
“I can’t make people not afraid of black people. I don’t know what’s going on. I can’t explain what’s happening in your head,” the former first lady said.
It is presumptuous to assume that every white person is afraid of black people, but she takes it further by saying white people run from black people.
“But maybe if I show up every day as a human, a good human, doing wonderful things, loving my family, loving our kids, taking care of things that I care about.
“Maybe, just maybe that work will pick away at the scabs of our discrimination. Maybe that will slowly unravel it.

“That’s all we have,” she said. “Because we can’t do it for them, because they’re broken. Their brokenness in how they see us is a reflection of this brokenness. And you can’t fix that. All you can do is the work.”
“Being the first black first family gave America and the world [the chance] to see the truth of who we are as black people, as others.
“That we are just as, and often times better than, many of the people who doubt us,” she said at the Obama Foundation Summit in Chicago.
“As families like ours — upstanding families like ours who were doing everything we were supposed to do and better — as we moved in, white folks moved out because they were afraid of what our families represented,” she said.
“I want to remind white folks that y’all were running from us … This family, with all the values that you read about, you were running from us.
“And you’re still running because we’re no different than the immigrant families that are moving in,” she said, omitting the world “illegal.”
“The families that are coming from other places to try to do better. But, because we can so easily wash over who we really were — because of the color of our skin, because of the texture of our hair — that’s what divides countries, artificial things,” she said.

How inspirational and unifying…

Shifty Schiff May Have A Celebrity Challenger – Fox’s California Doctor Should Make Adam Nervous

I’m sure you haven’t forgotten about Shifty Schiff. Adam Schiff made a mockery of impeachment during the entire inquiry process. He denied basic rules of fairness, while making up a false version of Trump’s phone call with Ukraine. It seems like he did everything in his power to turn impeachment into a circus. But it looks like he’s already in deep trouble. He and the rest of the House Democrats must have forgotten about the upcoming elections. Must be, because why did they ram through such an unpopular, one-sided impeachment? And now, Schiff himself could lose his coveted seat to a man many people know well. From The Hill: The next prescription “Dr. Drew” Pinsky writes might be for his own congressional run in Southern California… “I was watching all the impeachment proceedings and I was going, ‘oh my God, our Congress is tied up and we’re dying out here in California. What are these people doing?’ ” Pinsky, 61, says he soon realized he’s lived for ...

After Squad Member Ilhan Omar Defends Iran – She Pledges To Help Them Stop President Trump

Unlike Obama, President Trump is taking strong actions against our enemies. He struck back after Iran threatened our people and our allies in the Middle East. How has the left responded? Did they thank him for preventing another Benghazi? Were they encouraged that a top Iranian leader is gone? Nope! They actually seemed  upset  that American lives were spared! In fact, Democrat congresswoman Ilhan Omar is taking it even further. She made a wild claim about why Trump is defending our people. And has made one sick promise. From Washington Examiner: Rep. Ilhan Omar accused President Trump of trying to create a “distraction” by killing Gen. Qassem Soleimani in an attempt to ignite a war with Iran… “Real question is, will those with congressional authority step in and stop him? I know I will.” Wow. Omar accused Trump of trying to create a distraction. She even said she’d use her “congressional authority” to stop Trump. Um, excuse, Omar...
