Michelle Obama Says "slavery" - Republicans Lose It (again)

This is almost comical.

Michelle Obama once again mentioned slavery within the context that our country has made great strides forward in a very quick time and hyper-sensitive, politically correct conservatives were triggered and butthurt over it.

They are literally upset that she says America is making racial progress! They couldn't even comprehend it because the very site of her, and the mention of the "S" word was enough to send them into a TweetRage(tm).

Read the twitter responses - it's absolute comedy gold.

This is the reality of what a lot of people think. Not funny at all, if we're wondering what sort of world we live in.
