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 ...

The 2012 duo’s plan is out – they can’t hide it now! Ah, NeverTrumpers. We may never understand how there could be Republicans that are opposed to Donald Trump’s massive success. But, despite his record first term, people like Mitt Romney still seem determined to stop him. It seems he’s got a new ally in Paul Ryan, former Speaker of the House turned lobbyist. Don’t forget how these guys just handed Obama a second term in 2012. Well now, there’s a report that is claiming they are trying to get Trump removed for real. From Wayne Dupree: Robinson, who covers D.C. politics for One America News Network says that Romney and Ryan have teamed up to take down President Trump  and they only need about 10 more votes to do it… According to the report, Ryan and Romney are  pushing a “Pence presidency”  as the best reason to dump Trump, and Robinson insists that their efforts are working. According to a reporter from OANN, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are...

Little Adam Schiff Says Trump Could Be Heading To Prison

California  Rep. Adam Schiff  has made it known that he is not going to stop harassing President Donald Trump after he is not president. Some representatives, like Texas Rep. Al Green, want to  impeach  the president, but Rep. Schiff wants him in prison. “I mean, it’s been clear, you know, from Bob Mueller that he felt and the  Justice Department  feels bound by this Office of Legal Counsel opinion that you can’t indict a sitting president,”  he said  on the CBS program “Face The Nation.” “But he is a- essentially unindicted co-conspirator. He’s been identified as an Individual One, as the person who directed Michael Cohen to commit this fraudulent campaign scheme. “And I assume that all this means, in terms of the Southern District of New York, is that the case will be reopened when he leaves office, providing the statute of limitations has not run, and the Justice Department will have to weigh whether to indict the former president. ...
