I'm glad you are challenging me on this, because it's forcing me to think things through.

There exists more ignorance in our country than racism without a doubt. She doesn't care about her own race, she's an opportunist and her past actions give plenty of evidence to support it. If she cared half as much about poor black folk as you make it out to be there'd be a lot more progress. The fact that she took 350K a year re-directing low-income patients in Chicago to "community" hospitals while reserving its own beds for those with big insurance plans and/or money is outright shameful. This policy of patient-dumping is something that normally is reserved for crackas, that's about the only reason I can think of to explain why the media chose not to go after UCMC's racist policy...

Yeah, and my posts are filled with worry over what Michelle Obama is secretly concerned about.
Do you make sure to tell everyone you know that the First Lady doesn't care about her own race and did a lot of "shameful" stuff in Chicago, or do you save all of your outrage for this board?
why do you worry about what I'm worried about

Wait a minute, I thought she married a Muslim.
MUSLIM!!!
Michelle Obama has been the most targeted and attacked First Lady in history. "Moochelle," "Munchelle," altering photos of her, outrage over her clothing and wearing dresses without sleeves, and now the manufactured Olympic controversy, ignoring that Laura Bush did the same thing and it's tradition among First Ladies. More racism and hate at a strong African-American woman.
However, she has handled all the vitriol with grace and dignity.

Wait, didn't your first post in this thread say that the problem with racism was that people cited it in instances where it wasn't present? You follow that up by accusing Michelle Obama of holding back the black community by perpetuating racist policies? Kind of seems like you're contributing to the very problem that you cited. Nicely done.

you mean the first lady who went on the Today show to discuss that?
Not even close. More fiction and fantasy from fiction and fantasy boy. Not even close. She can't even go on a kids TV show or Letterman without the mainstream connie media making up things about her. Please provide links to any major left wing columnists who attacked Laura Bush, news shows dedicated to attacking Laura Bush or Democratic reps who attacked Laura Bush like the righties have Michelle Obama. TIA.

I start with the following: - Humans prefer to associate with and depend on folks who are culturally and racially similar to themselves - Humans are naturally suspicious of folks that are culturally and racially different from themselves - thus it is easier to assign ill intent to any given set of actions - The ability of any given human to overcome this preference and suspicion varies from one human to the next
I came across this article: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/michelle-obama-lead-u-delegation-olympic-games-opening-172541213.html
What got me was the comments - from the mild: - Another taxpayer-funded vacation for Michelle. - This is the same as giving Obozo the nobel peace prize - Did this make anyone else nearly smack their face on their keyboard in shock at how utterly moronic and hypocritical this woman is? - That's funny, It's called, Follow the BIG BUTT - Last I heard Mooochelle isn't the President
To the factually incorrect: - She is not even an athelete. This is an honor accorded to an athelete - vacation#500 in 3 1/2 years in the white house - I wont tune in to watch Michelle lead anything Nor Her Anti-Christ Husband (I could be wrong here...maybe Fish knows if the POTUS is the Anti-Christ?)
To the downright offensive: - Sasquatch leading humans. - a monkey leading great OLympians - It's just another tax payer paid vacation for Chewbaca Obama - Chewbacca with a watermellon, leading the pack should be funny - Bob Cook · Top Commenter · The Ohio State University...Nice they have opened it up to sasquatches too - More vacation time for the first Wookie.
Barbara Bush, Laura Bush, and Hillary Clinton all represented us at various olympics....I suspect if I could find comments on articles related to them I'd find both mild and factually incorrect statements mixed in there, but I doubt we'd see the sort of virulent personal attacks...so why I wonder does this first lady generate such passionate hate....I think the simple answer is racism?

You're trying so hard to be balanced that you're overlooking the basic facts: the Republican Party (especially the conservative wing) consistently campaigns against issues that minorities support, they loudly voice their outrage over multiculturalism, immigration, affirmative action, etc
