PHILLIP:
Your comment that if your white you can't understand is in itself a racist comment. You just lost all credibility.

As I review the recent comments about Obama's wife, I find myself agreeing with both Phillip and appletart2. Anytime we apply charateristics to a large group of people it is racist. For example all chinese people are smart, all blacks can dance. None of us know all chinese people, and none of us know all black people. I know whites who understand racism, just as well or better than some blacks. But I also agree with appletart2, the history of blacks in America has been so horrible until about 30 years ago when there has been some improvement. There have been many incidents in America history when blacks have done just as well or better than we see today, just to have it all destroyed by whites. Remember the very prosperous black towns, with doctors, lawyers, school teachers, businesses, run and owned by blacks that once they reached a level equal to or better than whites, were attacked, burned to the ground, with black men, women, children, old people, even black with disabilities murdered in cold blood, not ten or twenty, but 1000's. This did not happen in Russia, the Middle East, 100's of years ago. It happened here, next door, down the street, and within the last 100 years. After all of this I think Michelle has the right to be a little angry. If we want to go destroy an entire country because of 911, I think that we are blessed that Obama and his wife want to help our country rather than nuke it!!!
