Michelle Obama Would Like Students to Monitor Family Members for Racial Insensitivity

May. 19, 2014 9:57am Pete Kasperowicz

First lady Michelle Obama is encouraging students to monitor their older relatives, friends and co-workers for any racially insensitive comments they might make, and to challenge those comments whenever they’re made.

The first lady spoke on Friday to graduating high school students in Topeka, Kansas, and in remarks released over the weekend, Obama said students need to police family and friends because federal laws can only go so far in stopping racism.

“

• ur laws may no longer separate us based on our skin color, but nothing in the Constitution says we have to eat together in the lunchroom, or live together in the same neighborhoods,” she said. “There’s no court case against believing in stereotypes or thinking that certain kinds of hateful jokes or comments are funny.”

This bitch (and the left) are so delusional it's not even funny anymore.

Unrelated, but have you guys read about the push to make Nintendo and other video game companies include gay characters and scenarios in their games.

“Children, like soft wax, are very malleable,” Soviet propaganda during the Stalinist period declared. “We must rescue children from the harmful influence of the family… We must nationalize them. From the earliest days of their little lives, they must find themselves under the beneficent influence of Communist schools.”

Is it delusional to think that if some young person in this police commisioner's family had spoken up about his racially offensive language he might not be out of a job today?:

Well, the guy who was forced to resign, for one.   What do I win?

And really, SC, who gives a shit?  lol 

I'm surprised at this response from you since "Who gives a shit?" is the best response to at least 85% of the posts you make, ya nutjob.

She didn't use the word monitoring but her speech was the typical whiney trope.

I am a fast reader.   Some of your ancestors have been here for generations, other came in chain(paraphrasing)... typical stuff.  Without slavery blacks would have no appreciable history, therefore, its all they can focus on.

great point

I see what you mean now

what a whiner (though I'm not sure I see the trope)

It sounds even worse in context

does she ever stop whining?

I mean, just look around at this arena.  Not only are you beautiful and handsome and talented and smart, but you represent all colors and cultures and faiths here tonight.  (Applause.)  You come from all walks of life, and you’ve taken so many different paths to reach this moment.  Maybe your ancestors have been here in Kansas for centuries. Or maybe, like mine, they came to this country in chains. Or maybe your family just arrived here in search of a better life.

But no matter how you got here, you have arrived at this day together.  For so many years, you all have studied together in the same classrooms, you’ve played on the same teams, attended the same parties -- hopefully you behaved yourselves at those parties.  (Laughter.)  You’ve debated each other’s ideas, hearing every possible opinion and perspective.  You’ve heard each other’s languages in the hallways, English, Spanish and others, all mixed together in a uniquely American conversation.  You’ve celebrated each other’s holidays and heritages -- in fact, I was told that at one of your schools so many students who aren’t black wanted to join the black students club that you decided to call it the African American Culture Club so everyone would feel welcome.  Way to go.  (Applause)

She has no concept of bondage and has no grounds to claim the misfortune of others as her own or draw any personal meaning from individuals long removed from herself.

where did she claim misfortune ?

Who are you to say that she (or anyone) can't draw personal meaning from their ancestors ?

[Soul Crusher]

Oh please - she is nothing but a grifting bitch living the life on taxpayers dime that the next million people could not even fathom.

You cant because they arent you and you are to far removed from the experience.  You can understand their experience intellectually but you can never legitimately feel it because it didn't happen to you personally. Whatever you feel is a product of your own mind and imagination, it's not even an echo of the original experience.  All I'm saying is that her speech is the typical leftist rhetoric.

I know what you're saying and I disagree

I don't see typical leftist rhetoric nor do I see how you are able to make judgments about how anyone should feel about their ancestors

You are free to disagree.  People are going to feel what they want to but they must acknowledge those feelings arent real but a product of their imagination.  What is worse is that peope form opinions and make decisions based on those feelings.

so you're saying that whatever feelings that Michelle Obama has about her ancestors is not "real" but just a product of her imagination?

dude - you started off just calling her very mundane address to these students as  "typical whiney trope". I looked at the section you offered as an example and I didn't see it but now you're just getting nutty with your judgement about how other people should feel about their ancestors.

Their ancestors are basically strangers.  The significance they give an ancestor isnt a real relationship based on genuine personal feelings.

great point

you are aware that she is talking in Topeka Kansas on the 60th anniversary of Brown vs. The Board of Education (that would be The Topeka Board of Education)

Of course you do since you read her entire speech

This thread does have a lot of examples of typical partisan whining but none of it is from Michelle Obama

I think about my mother, who, as a little girl, went to segregated schools in Chicago and felt the sting of discrimination.  I think about my husband’s grandparents, white folks born and raised right here in Kansas, products themselves of segregation.  (Applause.)  Good, honest people who helped raise their bi-racial grandson, ignoring those who would criticize that child’s very existence.  (Applause.)  And then I think about how that child grew up to be the President of the United States, and how today -- (applause) -- that little girl from Chicago is helping to raise her granddaughters in the White House.  (Applause.)

It is her imagination.  She grew up no different than anyone else.  She just uses it to grift and exploit situations for her benefit.  now she lives the life of a billionaire and is still a big mouth.
