MALIA OBAMA ANNOUNCES SHE’LL ATTEND HARVARD, RACISTS IMMEDIATELY START SLAMMING HER (TWEETS)

[Feeling the Bern]

The White House announced on Sunday that Malia Obama, the President and First Lady’s oldest daughter, will attend Harvard. She will start classes in 2017, taking a “gap year” off between high school and college, as many students do. Malia turns 18 in July and will graduate from Sidwell Friends School this month.

Malia’s parents both attended Harvard Law — after matriculating at Princeton (Michelle) and Columbia (Barack) — but Malia was considering several other Ivy League schools. She visited many on the East Coast last year, causing months of speculation on which she would choose.

As the child of a President, Malia was unquestionably at an advantage when it came to choosing a college. But she is not alone. Many presidential children attended prestigious colleges like Yale (Barbara Pierce Bush), Radcliffe (Caroline Kennedy) and Stanford (Chelsea Clinton). Twenty-three presidential children attended Harvard. Malia is in good company.

Of course, the racists and other nasty haters took to social media to insult Malia and her family. The ignorant bigots proved to the world just how low they can go.

I thought children were off limits

Fox News Fans Found Out Malia Obama Is Going To Harvard, So They Called Her A ‘N*****’

I guess that only applies to Bush's two drunken daughters.

2. Sick, twisted people. DUers are doing that too? I am embarrassed.

8. Since DU and the Dem Party took a hard righ turn, you should not be surprised there are...

...right wing attitudes and hate here now.

It is embarrassing.

10. The implication, lacking any supporting evidence is she did not earn her spot.

The implication, lacking any supporting evidence is that she did not earn her spot academically. No doubt that same avarice, cowering behind implication would have us believe Amy Carter did not earn her Master's from Tulane as it was simply 'given' to her due to family name.

3. I'm not surprised

These people are beyond disgusting, but consider the source.

Malia is a lovely, classy young lady.

4. Malia is bright, beautiful and the daughter of two Harvard Law grads. Ivy League schools wanted her!

Geroge W. Bush was the son of a Yale grad. He got in as a legacy after reportedly not being accepted by the University of Texas. This MF took a decent scholar's place at Yale. Discuss ~~

5. the ignorance and hatred is sad

6. Envy knows no race

well except sometimes.

7. Trashing her is the 3-way intersection of racism, sexism and intellectualism...

Did she get a boost because of her last name, maybe...but consider the broader picture.

Kid from a great school with a super educational track record.
Parents who are both smart as all get out. If she's half as smart, she's doing great (and if she's like my kids, she's probably twice as smart as her parents).
She probably works her a$$ off because of the societal pressure to do well (imagine if she had some of the escapades reported of the Bush twins).

Losers are slamming on her because she's a smart, capable, black woman. They're the kind of people who probably yell "privilege" at every smart, capable, black woman who succeeds because all they see is the black...they're too f'ing stupid to see the smart, capable part.

If she got any boost because of her last name, it was probably from being the 10th choice to being the 8th choice (I made those numbers up). It sure wasn't a boost from the "declined" to the "accepted" group.

I can't wait to see what the next 10-20 years brings for Malia. I have this feeling she's going to be a "change the world" kind of person.

9. Harvards a great choice. Good decision to take a Gap year, at the same time the family will be free

Free of White House work

I don't pay any attention to cesspools of twitter or facebook.

It's a shame real medias even re-report about any asshole raciest who uses the word nigger in comment section/twitter of republicans-fox-TV.

11. I applaud you, sir/ma`am

Think you for sticking to the topic and not getting in the hate/hate mode!!!

And Harvard is indeed a good choice for her, as well as taking a Gap year! She is a delightful young lady, and is about to start her journey of self discovery, and that's where the focus should be!


Ho!

12. I'm not thrilled with her, either

She threw Yale under the bus.
