In reply to the discussion: Michelle Obama at Bowie State: Too many fantasize about being ‘a baller or a rapper’ [View all]socialsecurityisAAA
(191 posts)5. Mrs. Obama needs to justify, not I.
The women is so economically disconnected with the desires and needs of the black community, then for her to broach this subject simply on the basis of her skin color???? Now that's Racist, racist and patronizing. When she and her husband open up a free college for black underprivileged kids or volunteer to work with underprivileged individuals every day I might consider her to have have an inkling. Till then she should remain free from judgements about things she can't possibly comprehend.
