I think the easiest way to get your way in America these days is to claim that someone has been racist against you. If you didn’t like the way your food was cooked at a restaurant, claim racism. If someone doesn’t agree with you politically, claim racism. If you are going to perpetually face backlash for sticking your nose in where it didn’t belong, that’s right! Claim racism…
Have you been missing Michelle Obama?
Not so much, right? The first African-American FLOTUS gave an interview where she talked about the racism that she faced while the First Lady.
From The Hill: Women’s Foundation of Colorado President and CEO Lauren Casteel said Obama broke a glass ceiling by becoming the first black first lady, and asked which of the falling glass shards from that glass ceiling cut the deepest.
“The shards that cut me the deepest were the ones that intended to cut,” she said, noting comments comparing her to animals and criticizing her body. “Knowing that after eight years of working really hard for this country, there are still people who won’t see me for what I am because of my skin color.”
She continued, talking about how ‘women endure so much.’
She said women endure those cuts in so many ways that “we don’t even notice we’re cut,” adding that women “are living with small tiny cuts, and we are bleeding every single day. And we’re still getting up.”
Here’s the thing. Barack Obama in eight years took every possible opportunity to play identity politics and to stoke racial division.
So now eight years later, we are worse off than we were before he came in, promising to heal division.
He catered to Black Lives Matter while ignoring and doing what he could to punish and blame the police. People gave him the highest office in the land because they were so un-racist as to believe his promises.
Many members of the black community when looking at the results of his presidency, see no benefit from it. He and Michelle were able to go anywhere, do anything, and they did, to the tune of millions on the taxpayer dime.
