Michelle Obama talks candidly on race in America
The first lady's commencement address at Tuskegee University Saturday touched on her personal experiences of being black in America.
Instead of giving them so many negatives, why didn't she give them
positives? Why didn't she encourage them to go into the world and try to
get along with all people regardless of race or color of skin and just
always do their best? If she is for all Americans, why is she trying to
promote the divide among communities instead of encouraging them to blend
into any community they may want to be in? I am not ignorant to the fact
that their is still racism in America, I just understand that all races do
it. Unfortunately it is still acceptable and encouraged in certain groups.
+Nancy Rigsbee Right. She runs on emotions. You don't want a leader who runs on emotions and feelings. That's not the leader you want. Believe me, alot of these fucking women rising into leadership run on emotions. I honestly believe they think their good pure heart will carry them through their political careers. Fuck that. Hillary pulled that shit when she was being questioned about Benghazi. Everyone stop, it's Hillary time, she had to hug the family members of the killed Americans and stand by the coffins. That was traumatic. Ask her if she knew the dead Americans personally. Maybe the ambassador. Women aren't the ones ya want as leaders. The one's who gave the orders to bomb the retreating Iraqi soldiers running out of Kuwait are the ones you want as leaders.
+Bayan1905 Funny how even being in the White House isn't enough to stop some people from bitching about how hard life is. Give me a break, and nice way to wrap up a graduation day with a sourpuss, depressing tirade.
All this Racism she is talking about.........Does that include a 6 Ft 9In
Black guy looking down at me and telling me He Hates White People......or
is that not Racism because I am white and he is black.....So in her mind
that is ok?
+Angela Sachs they divide us on purpose.. because the day we stand together as AMERICANS instead of white black or brown is a day the government don't want .. because if we stand together we wont put up with there shit in D.C.
You forget.....There are a lot of White people doing that also. Welfare abuse is done by many people of all colors. The day we Stop calling ourselves Black, White, Red, Brown, or other and Start calling ourselves Humans is the Day all the Stupid Hate will end.
+Angela Sachs I agree, and blacks sitting around on their fat asses collecting welfare and doing drugs and eating junk foods and attacking one another on white peoples dime is to say they have enslaved white people by forcing whites to work for them by paying their benefits with whites taxes. Now really...who has enslaved who???
+Asha-Anna Doniel just see what IS for once. You blacks MAKE YOUR OWN BEDS IN THIS. STOP BEHAVING LIKE WILD ANIMALS AND LEARN SOME SELF CONTROL THEN THIS WOULDNT BE HAPPENING. MONKEYS, UNCIVILIZED...
+Asha-Anna Doniel you are full of shit, literally and your people play victim eternal so you don't have to try or develop or evolve...so shut the fuck up.
Open a History Book........The Irish Slave Trade – The Forgotten “White” Slaves ...www.africaresource.com/.../the-irish-slave-trade-forgotten-white-slaves/Oct 28, 2008 - Many people today will avoid calling the Irish slaves what they truly were: Slaves. ... thousands of Irish slaves were sold to both America and Australia. .... starting from over forty thousand years ago to the first time that gene,
Explain to me what white people go through exactly? Blacks are more likely to be profiled, get pay less, native women and people are being killed and oppressed in their country, so explain to me what you as a white person go through? I think it's funny how whites bring up the most simple things and say discrimation when there are people of color being killed just because they are not white. I would love to go through your "discrimination" I would switch places with you in a heartbeat.
Oh and seriously boo hooo. White woman MAKE MORE than black woman on average doing the same work. Native American women in Canada are 4 TIMES more likely to be raped than white women even though they make up less 4% of the population. But it's funny how white feminist never bring this up.
I never said black people only. I just brought blacks up because we are being discrimated against. Let's not sit here and pretend that whites are being profiled at high rates when we both know that it isn't true. Minorities go through a lot but you as a white person don't see it that way.
+Asha-Anna Doniel and another thing........We are the only ones getting Attacked by the Atheist for being Christian........I am yet to see the atheist come after a Christian Church or group that isn't White. And yes White women get sexually harassed and discriminated over jobs and most men in the same job with the same experience and education gets twice the pay as any women no matter her color. Do you even see the Hypocrisy in your own Statement..... "most white people do not experience racism or any discrimination" That statement is DISCRIMINATION against white people. You who are not white automatically Proclaim to know what white people have or have not gone through Based on THEIR SKIN COLOR.
There is no such thing as Reverse Racism...that would imply that white racism on blacks is straight and therefore ok........NO RACISM IS OK>....HATE IS EVIL>I brought it up to show that people of all races have been discriminated against in one place or another. And if you can't see that then maybe you are racist against other people.As for jobs, that depends on who is doing the interview. And if you can prove racism Sue the mess out of them.I can tell you that around here in NC it isn't skin color that gets the job first with women. It is Beauty at least when a man is doing the interview.And by the way that isn't the only time and not just a black person. I have been discriminated by Orientals, Mexicans, Native Americans, and others.Now days HATING the WHITE people isn't considered Racism.....Even you called it "Reverse" to imply that it isn't the same as when someone judges you by your skin color. See what I mean.MLK said We should all be judged by the Content of our Character, not our skin color. And in his day People of All Color Marched together on DC.If we don't bring back that united front against ALL racism, we are all doomed.
I will never understand people like you most white people do not experience racism or any discrimination. White woman has the higher rate of getting a job than a black woman and white man with the same credential of a black man has a higher chance of getting a job. That's reality. Whites would bring up the time a black person called them a cracker and be like "reverse racism" while I as a black woman have a low chance of getting a job. I think it's funny.
