Michelle Obama to the NAACP: ‘Now is Not The Time to Rest on Our Laurels’

I wish Sunlen Miller had found the space to report how MO called the Tea Partiers racists during this same speech.
It’s always helpful to further post-partisan politics – like her husband promised to do – by calling people you happen to differ with politically, racists. Hope & Change!

Andrew Breitbart offered $100,000.00 to anyone including the Congressional Black Caucus who could provide video evidence of racial epitets at the Tea Party rally during the Heath Care Bill vote. No one came forward! Michelle, do you have any??? Andrew Breitbart is now offering $100,000 to whoever can provide him with the “full JounoList archive.” Those talking points on labeling the Tea Party as racist could earn you a hundred grand, Jake whatda ya say?

I’ve always been skeptic of someone who is soooo coward that they projects their thinking and beliefs on to someone else. Mike, CO: The “real” truth/NEWS is that the First Lady Didn’t EVEN Mention the Tea Party “movement” in her speech. Did you take the time and read the story! Or listened to her speech? I doubt it, when your brain is the Liars on Faux News, the republican channel that does not report ANY news, any positions, but Promotes Racism in our country. Read the story or listen to her speech, and report back to Faux News and let them know that YOU WANT “REAL NEWS”!

OUR COUNTRY HAS BECOME A LAND HIPPOCRATES. WHY IS OUR FIRST LADY SPEAKING AT AN EVENT FOR THE NAACP. IF ONE OF OUR OTHER PRESIDENTS PLAYED GOLF AT A COUNTRY CLUB THAT DIDN’T HAVE ANY BLACK MEMBERS HE WOULD BE CRUSIFIED. YET WE’RE SO POLITICALLY CORRECT THESE DAYS WE CAN’T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. IF THE PRESIDENT AND HIS WIFE WERE SO CONSERNED WITH THE AVERAGE AMERICAN THEY WOULDN’T BE WORKING SO HARD TO CAUSE THE RIFTS THAT ARE HAPPENING. I’M 47 AND VOTED FOR THIS PRESIDENT WITH THE HOPE OF A UNITED COUNTRY.TODAY I FEEL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE MORE FRACTURED THAN ANY OTHER TIME BECAUSE OF THIS PRESIDENT AND HIS AGENDA I MADE A MISTAKE. HE SAID HE WOULD BRING US TOGETHER BUT HAS ONLY FORCED US APART. IF HE WERE PRESIDENT FOR TWO TERMS THE U.S WOULD MOST LIKLY FACE EXTINCTION.

Next, maybe she can encourage the Black Panthers to step up on their poll patrols for November.

I FOR ONE DON’T BELEIVE ANYTHING OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE THEY ARE ANTI WHITE BUT THEN THE FOOLS IN THE MEDIA WILL COVER FOR THEM

I FOR ONE DON’T BELEIVE ANYTHING OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE THEY ARE ANTI WHITE BUT THEN THE FOOLS IN THE MEDIA WILL COVER FOR THEM

This proves who the REAL racists are in America!

The left has to spread lies about the tea party because they know in November their sorry socialist, progressive, marxist butts are going to get whipped be they black or white or Muslim.

Why Michelle? What is it exactly that are doing to blacks? What? What is it blacks must “fight” for in the post-racial Obama America?

What I don’t understand about the NAACP (and it is nothing but a bunch of racists) is if blacks in this country (yes I said blacks as opposed to whites and not “African Americans”) are opposed to the term “colored” then why don’t they change their name to NAAAAP (National Association for the Advancement of African American People)? N quadruple A P, N quadruple A P. Sounds pretty catchy if you add the ebonics slang to it. Would make a nice sounding march chant don’t you think.

This just makes me sick. Nothing has changed since the sixties.

Now who is the Racist? Who is Playing the Race Card? If Laura Bush would have given the same speech to a white audience, how would it be received?

Are you *really* worried about inequalities in education, Michelle? Fine, then tell your husband and rest of your fellow Dems to stop thwarting the establishment of voucher programs so that inner city blacks can finally get out of your failed government schools!
Are you *really* worried about inequalities in income, Michelle? Fine. Tell your husband and the rest of your fellow Democrats to stop messing with the free market system. Demand they rescind government-mandated minimum wage hikes, which cause small businesses to either drop current employees or find themselves unable to hire new ones!
Are you *really* worried about inequalities in wealth, Michelle? Fine. Tell your husband *not* to reinstate the death tax and to *not* let the Bush tax cuts end on New Years Day 2011. That way blacks and *all* Americans will be able to keep more of their wealth and stop being punished for their success!
What I’m saying in a nutshell is that it’s those liberal ideologues like Michelle and Barack Obama and the NAACP which have *caused* the inequalities they are allegedly so intent on rectifying.

As far as I can tell the Obamas have lived a life of privilege more than anyone I have known, certainly more than my family. When will blacks stop sniveling.
Michelle , when Barrack gets honest about smoking I will actually have some respect for your nagging.

The ignorance demonstrated by so many of these comments is disheartening, deflating and speaks ill for the future of our country.
White Americans who cry “racism” are pathetic phonies, little people with little understanding of our past and present.
You will get a Palin or Barbour in The White House and your lives will be no better, but at least you’ll have “one of your own” at the top. Best of luck to ‘ya!

MO is as nuts as her husband:
documentation not yet available includes Obama’s kindergarten records, Punahou school records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, passport, medical records, files from his years as an Illinois state senator, his Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records and his adoption records.

The Obamas are clueless.They think we are all still living in Selma,Alabama circa 1820.

Never ceases to amaze me, how an
organization such as the Naacp is
given a pass, and high profile
people like Michelle Obama can
speak at this forum. As first Lady,
she represents all of us now and
it’s time for this to be recognized.
Yes there has been inequality to the
African-American communities. But its
time for accountability among those
communities.
Even accomplished African-Americans
such as Bill Cosby are calling on
(right-fully so), for accountability.
I am so sick of the Black/White/Latino
conflicts. We are Americans! We have
greater dangers in front of us!
IRAN for one!!
Certain alliances being created between
Terrorist states and Border line
Communist states (Venezuela).
Wake up America!!!!

It is sad to think that without explicit quotes, many have jumped to the conclusion Michelle said anything in this speech about or against the Tea Party. Was it off tape, off the record in the comfort of NAAPC company?
It is also sad how she makes the comparison that statistics of peril in the Black vs. White communities do not include a basis where that responsibility lies. If anything the fight for equality in this regard has much to do with what has been bred into them by their own in blaming someone else. The struggles are in disipline and self reliance, not redistribution as an equalizer. Welfare roles support and sustain generational poverty as a cultural fact. Why support more of the same?

Reads as if a line has been drawn in the sand….

I wonder if Reverend Wright wrote her speech?
She should stay with her gardening..

Michelle Obama is a racist. She should be speaking to all Americans, not just a subset of Americans with difference colored skin.

Looks like the Black Panthers, Nation of Islam and the American Communist Party couldn’t hardly be working any harder to destroy the country but I’m sure her little pep talk will motivate the corrupt robbers, looters and thugs to carry out the Obama agenda.
I have never seen such a pathetic excuse for a “first lady” that brings such dishonor to the country. This is what happens when the “useful idiots” in the media fail to vet and report the very basic facts that the Obama regime is nothing but a communist front for the Jihad on America. We have the enemy with in that is far more dangerous than the radical black Araba Muslim terrorists we are figting all over the world. We have the vile and trecherous enemies in and around the Obama regime.
– As a Russian leader once said, “we will destroy you not with missiles but from within.” We are now beginning to see the handwriting on the wall. This was our first inept and uneducated generation and they only needed a slick and glib flim-flam man

Michelle,
How about stressing hard work, education, strong families and good parenting instead of victim hood?

I can appreciate the approach the First Lady is taking to change the culture of African Americans. However, wouldn’t reducing illegitimacy do more to progress the cause? Illegitimacy in the African American community leads to generational transmission of poverty. Poverty leads to poor health from dietary causes. Poverty leads to death from drugs and violence. How does baked chicken vs. fried chicken compare in its impact??
Is a poor diet a problem for African Americans-absolutely! It is for ALL Americans.
Keep your eyes on the prize. Dietary changes will fail as long as illegitimacy thrives.

Michelle Obama is a New Black Panther, Black Theologist, radical racist. She sides with the groups that want to kill all white people and kill their children and babies. She is evil as is her husband. And this is coming from an black man who’s was raised by a racist, white-hating dad, so I know how to recognize the hatred. You Democrats and especially black democrats better wake up and realize what and who you are supporting. This isn’t JFK’s democratic party any more. These are radical Marxist and fascist and will take America down the same road as Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia.

I think we forget the acronym stands for the National Association for the ADVANCEMENT of Colored People. In the beginning, the advancement part was about equality; not it’s about special privileges because equality was denied them by people most of whom are dead.
African Americans rightly claim they did not immigrate to America — that they were brought here. If that’s the case, reparations are reasonable so long as they agree to REPATRIATE to Africa.Those who do not wish to to return (with a whole lot of money) should be considered intentional immigrants and welcomed with open arms. It would solve a lot of problems between the races.

Where is the National Association for the Advancment of White People ? I am not a racist. I have never owned a slave. I have no guilt what so ever for what previous generations have done. I control what I do and no one else. I try very hard to be fair and equal and to follow the teachings of Jesus and to treat my fellow citizens with respect. America is divided and doomed and will never be a great nation again if this continues. Americans are crying out for Leadership and all we end up with is the same old people with the same old politics. Wake up America. Be responsible for yourself and help those that cannot help themselves and allow the ones that can help themselves but do not to fail. Government is not the answer.

What people of this type, race base comments, do not fully understand is that our children…all children, our future, are beginning to sit up and take notice of our society’s one-sided favoritism toward one group over another weather it be through the media or through a position of power….And there will be a time in which those future generations will say enough is enough…history simply repeating it self….Basically if someone threaten to do harm to my child….well…..

What they always or never EVER mention is that Obama was raised by WHITE folks. His grandparents (communist sypathizers) raised him for the most part with a few Marxists thrown in for him to emulate.

What is so funny is Barrack is half-white, raised by whites, educated by whites…and he is where he is because of the NAACP?
Yeah Right!

Being a diabetic myself I am very interested in how the onset of diabetes evolves. No Black person or White person since the early ’60s has had much difference in the “rate” of the increase in this disease. The races seem to be fairly the same, buoth bad. Only in recent times has the white rate gone down very much.
Why? There seems to be less avalibility of Glucose drinks to the White child. (notice I said glucose, fructose and NOT Sugar) …… Splenda can be used safely by the diabetic. and I’ll bet you if the manufacturers on America wentdiabetic rates would drop in the US for black people and white people. and

Yeah, more pity, special treatment, and social prejudice. That’s going to bring equality for the black man.

I wonder if Laura Bush had stood up and said “white pride…rhetoric…” would she be called a racist? Quoting from the article, “…When stubborn inequalities still persist — in education and health, in income and wealth — I think those founders would urge us to increase our intensity…” in her own words, proves she’s a racist, a socialist, and has this “Holier than Thou,” attitude. I guess you can take the African American out of the ghetto…but you can’t…

I condemn the racist organization, I condemn the race baiting, turkey-neck talking and I condemn the racist SociObama family. WHITE PEOPLE need to increase the intensity, especially on the borders.

If those aren’t racist comments, what are?
I guess Angela Davis is back again.

I listened to the entire Speech by Michelle Obama, and found no reference to where she referred to “tea partiers” as racist. Would someone please point this out to me where in her speech this occurred?
Her speech was pretty begnign, and was about “fat” America. (I guess obese is supposed to sound better than “fat”?) She states that black america has a higher ratio of “fat” folks. Probably true, they have a higher ratio of diabetes, and high blood pressure too. All pretty much due to diet.
However, a lot of Southern folks regardless of race have the same problems because they have decided NOT to eat in a more healthy way. The information on a healthy diet has been available for years. Folks of all races and economic levels still choose to ignore the benefits of a healthy diet and continue to abuse their bodies, not realizing or caring the cumulative effect it has on health.
Our health system with all of its “medical” solutions(pill for everything) perpetuates the issue). Type II diabetes can pretty much be eliminated by a better choice of food, modest exercise and thus eliminate the need for medicine.
(But….yet…what do we see on TV…the old white guy (Wiliford Brimly,)pushing the best way to get your diabetes meds in the mail on the cheap. Didn’t this same guy used to push Quaker Oats? I liked him better in that role. We see commercials advising folks on how to get a “hover round” for free…most are due to obesity. We see folks claiming that it “isn’t our fault” that we are fat on talk shows!
Our public school system provide “junk” menus for the kids on a daily basis….pizza, pasta, sugary syrup fruit, junk, junk, junk, but no decent excercise program. If your child attends a public school all you can to combat this garbage is to pack a healthy lunch and hope that your child will eat it, and see to it that they get outside everyday to get fresh air and excercise.
I find fault with much that Obama and Michelle are doing, with their socialist/fabulist agenda….but I don’t find fault with her goal of getting the kids off their butts and out in the yard playing. I find no fault with her wanting healthier diets.
As she stateed in this speech, “The government can’t do this” (and I would have added “shouldn’t”. It is a parents’ responsibility to provide excellent nourishment for themselves and their children. It can be done on a low budget too. I know because I did it. Just go down any aisle in the grocery store and compare. Garbage food is just as expensive as whole healthy food. Don’t believe me…do it yourself.
I have no issue with assisting folks that have a need for help with food purchases (i.e. food stamps). If however, we as taxpayers, are going to pay for the food folks purchase with food stamps, then we should have a voice in what is purchased. I don’t want to subsidize poor health choices.
The poor food purchases of many food stamp receipents only furthers the amount of money we pay out, because it translates down the road to necessary “medical” visits due to these poor food choices…i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure….etc. If they receive public health assistance, we pay twice.
It is a cycle of insanity.
Here is an idea, if you are receiving food stamps, you must enroll in a “healthy diet” program. The purchase of crappy high sugar foods should not be allowed with food stamp purchases, no sodas, no potato chips,no high sugar cereals, no high sodium products.
If they do not like the govmt. interference in their food choices…..then can opt out of food stamps program. This is the only instance in where I would see a govmt. dictate on what you eat.
Logic and Reason dictates that this should be an imperative. Political correctness however wlll win out over Logic and Reason. I await the onslaught of criticism.

People just don’t get it. NAACP was started with white people also, so all these ignorant folks talking about how racist an organization is that try to bring equity to past/present economic/social status quo don’t have a clue. They try to look at things from a distorted paradigm that says it is racist to point out what your eyes can see. If a group traditionally was excluded from education, employment, housing, politics, communications etc. When they decide to organize to see that’s not racist that’s called social justice. Much like unions against unfair employment practices.

Who cares about anything she says. She was not elected and needs to go get a job somewhere. Why in the world does anyone give her any credit at all? She just happens to be married to some guy that gets a lot of attention.

Seems like a racist speech to me. As to “lower life expectancy” the Obama health plan will shorten all American’s lives because it will cost more, ration care and if you are old, expect to die sooner than you would have 10 years ago because of it…whatever happened to “content of character rather than color of skin” to judge people by…all the Obama’s appear to do is judge by the color of the skin and ignore content of character…

The original NAACP was started by The National Association for the Advancement of the Communist Party. It’s true look it up. But it was changed to Colored people because the Communist reference would have been shot down quickly back then. History is interesting. So I guess all you Shabazz followers on this site think like he does. Michelle did not take the time to condemn his words. Maybe she doesn’t care much for Crackers either.

One term of these jerks is enough…

None of HER speech refers to the Tea party as racist. Stop the spin. I have served with some of the bravest men and women in the world. When you are on the front line there is no color. Only Americans.

If there are still inequalities it is because of 70 years of Democrat policies, from FDR to the present, designed to keep blacks on the plantation and dependent on government handouts, instead of truly independent.
And as far as people just scraping by, Obama has done nothing the last 18 months to fix the economy to make things better. He’s only made it worse. So look to the White House Michelle, if you’re looking for someone to blame.
Obama has done nothing for blacks except give them a false sense of hope and manipulate them for his own purposes.

AA’s are the ones feeding their kids crap. Yes, healthier food costs more and takes more time, but it can be done. My mother did it and had no help from food stamps, welfare or any other government agency.
They have no one to blame but themselves. Get off your a$$es and take the time to cook heathly food with that money and free food you’re given.

Unfortunately, people have started to realize that what has been going on for the last several decades was not a struggle for equal rights but a struggle for power. Anyone who has been a student of power knows that power never seeks equality but dominance. Equality is simply not a feature of power. If you hand someone power on a silver platter they will not stop at a sense of equality because that is undefinable. They will continue to seek dominance. This is true of any group.

Right – take NO responsibility for your own behavior and future. Blame blame blame EVERYone else EXCEPT the black leaders who work very hard to ensure that blacks STAY down. The black men and women in the US need to STOP listening to these race baiters and realize these people do NOT have their best interests at heart – if they did they’d tell folks to stop making excuses for the destructive behavior of the “gansta” culture that only kills young men, destroys their future, and ends their opportunities.

Decades beyond slavery??? Huh

The nerve of this woman, who stands here as FIRST LADY and has the unmitigated GAUL to say she lives in a racist country. She has been afforded EVERY opportunity and she and her husband occupy the White House, for Chrissakes. Does she really believe there is no opportunity for blacks (or half-blacks) in America today? I really don’t like the Obama’s but it’s because of their beliefs and their policies, not the color of their skin. THEY would never believe that. They would think I was racist because I think they are HORRIBLE AMERICANS.

STOP your complaining and whining. Do something positive! This November vote ALL Obama supporters out of Congress and in November 2012 vote him out of office!

More race bating by the Obama trying to turn the nation against whites.

Sending someone back to Africa is racist. Calling someone a monkey is racist. Why would anyone want to do this? Are these liberals who are trying to paint the right as racist. If you are on the right side stop doing this. Our arguments are sound and this is unnecessary. Fight for the right to a “Happy” meal. Individual freedom and responsibility are the keys to unlocking our greatness as a society.

I personally don’t care what Michelle is selling today. I think she’s a bitter person.
I’m very tired of this race card being played consistently. I believe the NAACP is a racist organization also…kind of like the pot calling the kettle….

who is keeping the the blacks on the economic plantation? Ask jessie jackson, it’s the democrats. Who voted against the civil right’s act, demorcrats. Who wore white robe’s to KKK ralley’s in the south, democrats. Who’s educating the childeren, Democrats. See the pattern Michelle.

Was this an Audition tape for increase Racism in order to become the official Black Panthers/New Acoern Leader???

obama couldn’t organize a tea party

What’s the latest on the Michelle Obama patient dumping scandal at Chicago Med. Ctr? $350,000.@ year to dump patients off in ghetto streets because they didn’t meet Obama’s revenue criteria. Is that how she lost her law licence? Just another Obama scandal the MSM has buried!

NAACP has supported genocide against blacks for 37 years.

She’s just another white-hating racecard baiter like Sharpton and jackson …disgusting!

Michelle Obama and the NAACP – Setting race relations BACK 50 years. Congratulations!

My problem with organizations like the NAACP is that there was a time in the past when they provided a legitimate “solution”, but in today’s environment they are outdated, one-sided and rascist. Can you imagine how fast I’d be labeled a rascist if I created an organization called NAAWP or hosted a television program called WET or sponsored a beauty pageant called “Miss White America”. It’s hypocritical and rascist for the NAACP to even exist in today’s world…and yet, Mrs Obama touts their value.
Michelle – you seem like a nice person, but your values are outdated, bigoted and rascist at heart. After 2012 you’ll have to go back to work and get a real job.

Wow. Just wow. The First Lady of the U.S. asks a one hundred year old organization, which was originally founded by blacks AND WHITES to combat LYNCHING of black Americans, to increase the intensity and discipline in order to address the issue of childhood obesity, and this blogger decides to focus on the 1 word which he believes will have the most negative connotation for his right-wing readers. What craven crap. Just wow.

And the Obama’s contributed how much to charties or even their OWN color in 2009. ZILCHhhhhhhhhhh Talk about a couple of Crackers !!

Barry, Michelle, Saul Alinsky and Co. — fanning the flames of racism. Sad.

Just what does this woman want? She had all the benefits this country has to offer–and most likely a free ride. What does she want? Does she actually believe white people don’t have to work for what they have? Meanwhile, she vacations almost every other month–on the dime of ALL Americans–white and black. She is ungrateful and an ELITIST!

What’s the latest on the Michelle Obama patient dumping scandal at Chicago Med. Ctr? $350,000.@ year to dump patients off in ghetto streets because they didn’t meet Obama’s revenue criteria. Is that how she lost her law license?

She only sees the world in black and white and her manifesto is getting stuff for her people instead of looking out for the general welfare of everyone. Shes as dumb as Barak.

Odd isn’t that racism only applies when the proported victims of such debauchery are black. I heard no mention of Ms. Obama’s condemnation of the New Black Panther party’s racist chant to kill “crackers” and to kill “cracker babies.” How do you give credibilty to a group such as the NAACP who want to infiltrate and destroy the tea party movement because they are “racists” but are more than willing and have ignored the New Black Panther rants as mentioned above? The very idea that the president’s wife would align herself with a racist organization such as the NAACP is repugnant. President Blamebush is alledgedly the president of all the people, not just black people. Michelle and Barack Obama take their marching orders from Charles Ogeltree a member of Black Power who edited the Black Power newspaper, member of the Ella Baker Center for Social Justice and fouder of the Reparations Coordinating Committee who advised Michelle and Obama during their years at Harvard and advises them today. The Obamas are racists, radicals and do not have the best interest of the United States at heart. When do they object to the rants of the New Black Panther party? I won’t hold my breath. Michelle Obama is a racist first as is her husband Barry. Impeach this fool before its too late (if it isn’t already).

Do you people who are commenting realize that if Black People were to follow Michelle’s inputs, they will be better off, and it turn, we would all be better off (less crimes, welfare, etc).
Which side are you on? The problem, the solution, or useless spectator?

Just the other day, I read an article that said the latino community were hit the hardest by the downturn of the economy. So which group is it?
Always good to see the first gardener play the race card—–she is very good at that——–
Never Never forget that the non citizen and the first scowler hate this country.

“first of all…it was the AFRICAN slave traders who sold their own people…it’s a fact..look it up. and second of all, all we need to do is go to the local ghetto…..garbage in the streets, children running amuck, no dignity or pride. yet they have more resources than i or my family will ever be entitled to all because of the color of my skin.and don’t take advantage of it… want the handout….”
WHY WAS THE ABOVE POST DELETED, ABC!

I’m white, I’ll turn up my intensity too!

The black community does need to get active but instead of making it a purely race issue relating the poor achievements of blacks educationally on whites, they need to look at themselves, their communities, and most of all parenting. That advice isn’t just for the black community but for every community. Like the new anti-drug campaigns, it’s time to stop trying to be your kids friend and become their parents.

The Obamas are starting a race war. Barry is using the Justice Department on his end with the Black Panther Party voter intimidation charges being dropped simply because the defendent was black and Michelle, who was never proud of her country before until a black man won the Democratic Primary, is using the NAACP. Tea Party Patriots are peaceful. Look how the left act whether in protests or in celebration like every time we have a new NBA Finals Champion. Riots and looting and people go to jail. Not one riot in thousands of Tea Party Patriots protests. Not one FOOTLOCKER has been looted at a Tea Party Protest. The left is violent. They are angry. They are lashing out because we all see Obama and his vision for America as a failure. Liberals could learn a lot from the Tea Party Patriots if they would attend one of our peaceful protests. They would get a chance to see how decent, civilized people act out in public. Not one FOOTLOCKER has ever been looted at a Tea Party Protest, unlike the left. The Obamas are racists and bigots…

When African American communities are still hit harder than just about anywhere by this economic downturn, and so many families are just barely scraping by.
Illegal Aliens take away JOBS from African Americans and drive rents up. Tell President Obama to drop his Lawsuit against Az.

A just society will strive for “equal opportunity”. Given the inherent inequities in life it will probably never be 100% attained. Nevertheless,in a just society it remains the goal to seek. I believe there is no other country on the face of this earth, now or in the past, that has done more to make this goal a reality than the U.S.A.
Yet, when I hear Black activists, such as Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and now unfortunaely, albeit to a lesser degree,the First Lady bemoan that the underachievement of Blacks as a group being evidence of existing racial injustices in our society, it is clear to me that they are seeking something other than equal opportunity.
THEY WANT EQUAL RESULTS!
This is not what our country’s Founders sought. Equal results is a goal espoused by communism. They promise every one will share equally. Although there are many examples of communistic societies, there is not one example where their goal has ever even remotely been achieved. The most notable example is the former USSR. The majority were the “have nots”, and the privleged class called the shots for their “comrades”.
When we as a nation wake up to the fact that “Equal Opportunity” is the only realistic goal to seek, our nation and its peoples, including the Blacks, will begin to thrive!

“I think those founders would urge us to increase our intensity, and to increase our discipline and our focus and keep fighting for a better future for our children and our grandchildren.”
THOSE FOUNDERS… rather our country’s founding fathers… Oh keep on there fighting and fighting rather than being productive and grateful that our nation offers anyone a chance (not right) for self achievement, prosperity and a better life for our children’s children.

Michelle ” For the first time in my life I am proud of my country “. I wonder if that is still true. She is obviously the most racist first lady this country has had in my lifetime. Why is she so mad looking all the time.

For the first time in my life, I weep for my country. This administration is creating racial tension by using unjust accusations against white people.

Increase our intensity to be AMERICANS, undivided by skin color!

Thanks Michelle! To you and your husband! For helping white America begin to get over silly white guilt. We now know there’s nothing we will ever do to get along with people who think like you. Your husband was elected on the goodwill of whites which want to see and believe blacks can make it in our country. Yet, you still seem to hate us. I noticed Oprah, another black that was made rich by whites who want to see a black person do well in America, is seeing her popularity decline also. While we watch your husband’s administration ignore Black Panthers that intimidate at polling places, and express the need to kill white people and white babies; Immediatly issue opinion that a white cop acted stupidly, while waiting weeks to say a word about a black soldier that went on a murderous rampage. Etc. Maybe, one day, you WILL get to at least see a White America that doesn’t see blacks as anything other than fellow Americans who are no more deserving of any goodwill than any other race. Then, you’ll know what what the score really is.

there can be no true honest dialoge as long as ABC is censoring the comments…just know that what you are still allowed to read here is what they deem accptable. as long as someone says something with a factal, checkable source, they kill the comment…take the pill… and stay in the matrix people….

I am no fan of the Obamas but there is nothing wrong with anything Michelle Obama said. Everything made sense–even to me. Some of you people need to stop with the hateful, racist comments–they serve no good whatsoever.

Michele IT’S your HUSBAND that is the IMPEDIMENT to all children’s’ success! YOUR husband disbanded a very successful Washington DC educational voucher system because the Teachers’union demanded it. YOU and your husband are LEFTEST IDEOLOGUES surround by same thinking elitist that believe they know what’s better for an individual than that which individual desires.

I’m a die-hard conservative who is no fan of the Obamas but regarding Michele’s comments on diet and exercise, she is on the money, it makes sense, and her audience needed to hear it.
Speaking of losing dead weight, come November, let’s cut off the liberal fat off our bloated budget before the USA becomes a carcass.

Just who keeps bringing up the issue of race? I thought this administration was to unite, not divide. We’ve been sold a bill of goods.

I am a conservative. I believe that the founders, with divine help created something special. As for blacks, many of us (in my circles) are conservative and just dont know it, nor do we have the time to figure it out because our emotions are constantly being played on by groups who have competing interests, contrary to that of my people and to a larger degree the American people (My people)as a whole. We are pitched against each other so that (A house divided…)they can conquer/subdue the most influential threat to their interests first (small business/middle class){Boxer the horse from George Orwells Animal Farm}; then the rest will be easy pickings. In Military circles we call that a “Deception Plan”.
In Closing..
What we need to be speaking reconcilliation, what we believe and why, rather than accomplishing their mission/spreading that virus for them within our own circles.

SO SORRY!!! Wrong poster! I misread who wrote what. What I said was for CAROLE.

No matter how you polish a turd…Its still a turd!!!!

NAACP – the external struggle is won. Focus on the internal struggle – personal responsibility means putting down the mac and cheese, the guns, and the drugs. It means breaking the cycle of ignorance and poverty. PLEASE turn your attention and resources to the internal struggles of the black community

November 2012 is comming. We will have a REAL president then.

No, Mrs. Obama, obesity is not the problem in the Black community that will be killing the young Blacks of America. Have you try looking into the Black on Black crime wave? The lack of respect that blacks tend to have for one another? The lack of respect that young blacks have for young black girls which they view as a sex object to be used and go on to their next conquest, while the child that is born as a result is raised by the girl’s grandmother and the government,and add on to that, the lack of a father figure in a lot of black families. This is not racist, this is fact.

Laurels. Laurels…..
Well I think you’ve done a truly amazing job turning Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream into a nightmare. Content of Character, indeed. NO it’s all about the color of your skin. I have always been a great supported of your cause, and still am–but what you are doing is taking completely the opposite attitude needing to arrive at racial equality and understanding. us white folks are not stupid–we know when we are being taken for a ride. Shame on you for the pain and anguish your quest for power is wreaking on both sides of the color barrier. SHAME ON YOU.

She is correct that inequalities still exist. Unfortunately, she is all wrong about what those inequalities are. The war on poverty has been going on for decades now. Has anything gotten better? No? Well I’m pretty sure it’s not the white man’s fault. The highest cause of death for a young black man is to be murdered at the hands of another young black man. Is that the white man’s fault? Why doesn’t the NAACP address the actual issues instead of denouncing a graduate’s greeting card that says ‘black holes’?

Who is Michelle Obama and what is the NAACP? Are they still relevent? Do we still care what that group of racists think or say?

After seeing the election results where 96% of blacks voted for Obama and only 55% of whites voted for McCain, the calls of RACISM from Blacks falls on my now deaf ears…
I also don’t adhere to the policy that Blacks can NOT be racists, because they have been persecuted in the past…
The country is waking up. I only WISH that they had LISTEN to conservatives WARNING about a candidate who was unqualifed. Maybe next time they will?

“When African American communities are still hit harder than just about anywhere by this economic downturn, and so many families are just barely scraping by, I think the founders would tell us that now is not the time to rest on our laurels.”
Right, but if you think about a “pathway to citizenship” for countless millions of illegal aliens — mostly unskilled and uneducated — it suddenly IS a good time to forget about all those African American communities that are still hit harder than just about anywhere by this economic downturn, and so many families that are just barely scraping by.

Here we go again… the Race Card!!!! Has either of the Obama’s ever thought about trying to represent this country and not just the Browns and the Blacks. Wow, what a concept. the president of the United States actually concerned about the Citizens of the United States and not just Blacks. Well when you got nothing else I guess you have to use what you got and the Race card is all they have left. Honesty, integrity and fairness is not in their box of tools.

scott, the problem with obesity is a combination of eating the wrong foods and not enough exercise.
Many of the poor are overweight because the food they can afford to fill up on is high in carbs and fat but low in protein. Protein is necessary to build muscle, skin, blood,hair, etc. When the body is short on protein, it will give out hunger signals even though enough calories have been consumed for the day.
We need children and parents to be educated about the importance of protein and veggies in our diet.There are inexpensive choices like many varieties of beans combined with rice that are affordable and healthy.

I am surprised at the amount of racism in some of these remarks.
Folks, Michelle was addressing the NAACP. Just like if you were addressing a meeting of business owners, you would tailor you talk to address their concerns.
Mrs. Obama made many good points. I challenge those who are racist to actually listen to what she said. Her concern for obesity in our country was addressed as worry for all of us, black and white, since obesity increases the risk for diabetes, heart problems and even cancer.
The more people know, the better.

Now that we know Obama has proven himself to be a Marxist/Socialist racist hellbent on supporting the Black Panthers and running our country into the ground, the people that’ll be standing in line to vote for this madman dictator are either insane, massively ignorant, or want our country destroyed as well.

Hey Michelle if you or your husband cared about education he wouldn’t have stopped funding the DC vouchers. It was proven to work. But noooo, no poor black kids going to the same school and your chubby darlings. You idiot. Also mind your own damn business. If I or my kids want a coke we are having one. If we want desert every single night we are having it.

If michelle feels so sorry for the blacks, why doesn’t she and obama part with some of their money and give it to the needy?

Just before the Nov. election, get ready for a major assualt from Obama’s brownshirt gestapo’s; ACORN, SEIU, the New Black Panthers, etc. Although Obama’s AG Holder won’t prosecute them, the local authorities will; protect yourself and have your cell phones ready to collect picture and video evidence.

You people have got to be kidding.
No one gets it.
Not one of you

The NAACP helped a Kenyan national get elected to the U.S. Presidency? Isn’t that against the law?

We have a delusional madman for President attacking our individual rights by forcing laws down our throats that most americans don’t want and don’t need, he’s attacking our Constitution, he lied about swearing to uphold and defend, now he’s now attacking his own states, siding with a foreign President …All this, and the corrupt Dem. majority won’t even consider a special prosecuter for impeachment, it’s a very scary time for our country.

It’s a sad delusion that Democratic Party big government policies, high taxes, unionization, massive immigration, minimum wages, gun control — have done anything other than keep African-Americans down in this country.
Unfortunately, President Obama is among the worst sophists of the progressive movement.

Is this woman advocating or encouraging violence against the TEA Parties? It sure sounds like it to this American. What do these people have to do to be impeached? Start a race war?
This AFRICAN Communist has taken race relations in this country back decades in only 2 years. Don’t fall victim to his bait.

MEchelle must still think that “America is a mean country!” Even after she was ‘proud of America for the first time’ when B.O. was elected, she still doesn’t like America; not does he. He was going to ‘unite’ this country; instead they continue to divide along racial lines. Why is the NAACP still a recognized organization? How about a NAAWP? B.O. and MEchelle are taking us back years in the racial structure. I meet so many people that question why we had to elect B.O. If we wanted a black president, there were other options other than this inexperienced, inept, arrogant America-hater. I’m glad their reign of terror is almost up!

The Obama’s are singal handedly putting race relations in this nation back 40 years. Way to go “the most transparent President of our time”. They have got to get the blacks angry again so that they will show up at the voting booths to keep the Dems in power. God help these poor misguided souls.

How can black kids have an obesity problem if they are supposed to be poor and starving? How does that work Mrs. Obama?

The Obama’s stand where thry do today because of Whites voting for Barack. Impeach

Hooray for the race baiting first lady, America is a dead nation.

Life is like a box of chocolates, black chocolates, white chocolates, and brown chocolates. Inside everyone, a little racism.
Want to understand racism? Read African history from a 1000 years ago, 300 years ago, 100 years ago. Read what the blacks did to whites and mulattoes during the Haitian revolution. Read what is happening in Africa in Somalia and Uganda. Read about what the Indians did to the settlers or soldiers did to the American Indian. Read about Palestine and Israel or Shiite, Sunni and Kurds.
This Flotus and Potus are not the cure to racism in America, they are the problem. They are out of Chicago, home to J Jackson, Farrakhan and Jerimiah Wright and associates/friends of each. They sold their souls a long time ago to the “movement.”
Get rid of special interest groups in Washington? Isn’t the NAACP the special interest the of the Flotus herself? Not hypocrisy. Either stupidity or intentional. You decide.
Box of chocolates. Mama always said. Ain’t gone to end. But before it pauses, it usually gets very bad.

Is Obama and the First Lady pushing
for a race war? Sure seems that way.
Well,before they out number us let’s
get it on. Whites with real #####
and backbone can be pushed just so
far.

Wow, these are all negative comments about flotus on a liberal news website. Maybe the country is listening to Fox after all.

I see what Michelle is trying to do. Pitting people against each other. Which is wrong. Where is the unity they campaigned on. All a farce..

When you are on the front line there is no color. Only Americans.
—————————————
This is true, even in Vietnam in 68-70 That was true, we were all brother at heart. The color of a mans skin, politics, or religion never mattered. It is not apple pie and Mother I was fighting for, it was my fellow Soldiers and the same with them.

hey michele, you and the traitor you call a husband have done more to hurt race relations than has been done in the last 50 years. I will make a hasty generalization and say that it will be a long time before another black person will be elected – AND you and your husband are the reasons. Unfortunately you are the ones that give the black race a bad name. on another note. we the American people are up to your game. wait and see what happens in November. wait until you and yours are thrown out of the White House, and it will come sooner than later I hope

Sorry, lady. Your husband is not President because of the NAACP. He sits in the White House because of George W. Bush. After 8 years of that incredible, moronic, incompetent clown, those who hardly ever vote and those the liberal media have brain washed (younger whites) into thinking blacks are superior to other ethnic groups, came out in droves, hoping to elect the exact opposite of George W. Bush. If George W. Bush had not become President, we would probably be looking at a female President occupying the White House by the name of Hilary Clinton AND she would be doing a much better job of running the country by her actions rather than Obama’s slick talking. According to the polls, most of those regret voting for Mr. Slick and if the economy doesn’t improve by November, a tide of white anger will sweep across Washington. Of course, if it happens it will be called racism. My own feelings are you will not see another black President in this country for 100years…if then.

This is race baiting, pure and simple. If you have to do this to get elected, maybe you should rethink what you stand for.

“I will always be black first” – Michelle Obama.
Michelle Obama has a history of anti-white and anti-America tirades. In her Princeton thesis paper she really lays it all out. She praises radical “black power” Marxist leaders, expresses joy in the fact that America lost the Vietnam War, describes herself as a segregationist, and attacks black people who “act white.”
The leader of the violent New Black Panther Party (NBPP), a splinter group of the Nation of Islam, vowed to take on Glenn Beck and the TEA Parties. Recently the NBPP hosted the “Atlanta Black Power Convention,” where they called for a “declaration of war” against the TEA Party movement. Numerous black celebrities, including grammy winner Andre 3000, spoke at the radical conference.

If a Tea Party attendee said the same thing to white people, he/she would be accused of inciting violence.

Michelle – you seem like a nice person, but your values are outdated, bigoted and rascist at heart. After 2012 you’ll have to go back to work and get a real job. Posted by: Dave | Jul 13, 2010 12:22:22 PM

This is where I must disagree, the Obamas are lining their own nests now so that work is something they’ll never have to get too involved in. Barrack is building his own little empire, and probably plans on living there once he’s voted out. Sad part is probably Sorros, or one of his minions, will pick up the tab for this fraud.

Here we (blacks and WHITES) elect this man to the world’s most powerful office, and instead of taking this great opportunity to lead, we are still listening to this whining about the past. My God, what will it take? What will it take? Does he have to listen to this at home? No wonder he’s not a leader. He’s henpecked.

Notice how Michelle said, the “founders”….when I hear the founders I think of George Washington, etc. But that is HER founder!!! She should be ashamed of herself!!!! And Obama is henpecked that is why he can’t lead!!!!!! Michelle has brought the race relations back to the 1950′s….get them OUT of our white house.

Especially when considering the challenging current state of our economy, I find myself compelled to agree fully with Michelle that “now is not the time to rest on our laurels.” Although much has been accomplished these past few years, we must remain vigilant and tireless in our efforts to improve social and economic conditions for all races and creeds within society.
