Michelle Obama: White people are 'still running' from minority communities

a reply to: ChefFox

Pretty sure ya missed the 'best/worst' part of his/her speech.

She called me 'White Folk' - Seriously. That's as bad and the infamous 'N' word.

Pretty pissed about that I am.

Or I would be if I gave a rat crap what that 'thing' has to say.

Cuz Watts, in LA, USED to be hi-brow. Buuuuut.

I live just outside of Atlanta, GA in a predominantly Black neighborhood.

Mrs. Obama is grossly generalizing and, indeed, making some pretty racist comments in the quotes cited by CNN.

CNN is corporate media and I would love to see other verification for the accuracy of the quote.

I dont get what she's complaining about. White people move out so the rest of the fine people can have it all for them selves. Whites are cancer of the society anyway.

That's a good point. According to the SJW, we white folks ruin everything, so they should be glad we're leaving. It will let them build their bastions of Utopia as soon as we're gone.

Is it an authentically black neighborhood or just a bunch of blacks folks acting white?

I recall from my years teaching inner city that those poor black kids who worked hard to succeed at their studies were taunted like that -- acting white.

So there is a culture thing at work more than a racial thing.

Are you kidding me with that first question?

Jesus.

About as "authentically Black" (for about the last 30 years) as you get, whatever the hell that means.

as far as "Black folks acting White" ... I have no words.

Yeah , and She is Still Running from Her " Male " Past ....NEXT .

You have much experience with inner city minorities?

That's what they call it. Anyone out in the 'burbs is acting white. Even the white kids in the inner city avoid acting white.

Granted your neighbors aren't going to see themselves that way, but there will be cultural difference between them and the inner city blacks, and the inner city blacks would likely look at them like that -- with suspicion because they aren't living an authentic life. Some of those markers are poverty culture markers more than racial, but it doesn't matter.

You're applying your own definitions to Blacks ... we are "inner city" about 3 miles from Peachtree St.

You're probably thinking of the sterotypical "ghetto" scene from 70s movies and TV.

Doesn't exist in Atlanta. Your distinction is that there are differences in every community and that is generally true.

My neighbors work hard everyday, take care of their families, and pay their taxes. The artificial delineations that suit your argument are ... unimportant.

It isn't only "white people". I have a black friend who is a Mechanical Engineer. When a previous employer sent me to school to get my degree, he helped and tutored me. He moved his family from the neighborhood that he grew up in to the suburbs. He has offered to buy his parents a house near his, but, they don't want to leave the neighborhood. He will not take his children to visit his parents, instead he brings his parents to visit his children. There are people in his old neighborhood who say that he "sold out to Whitey" when he became a success. He is actually afraid that something might happen to his children if they go to his old neighborhood.

What do you have to say about that Michelle?

Yeah. Not all blacks are pieces of crap like the Obama's.

Are you being sarcastic :0?

Patrice o neal is great.

I think a big issue is that citys like Chicago much rather put money into areas that have higher income, than fix the poor areas such as the southside which has seen an increase of schools, hospitals and jobs moving away from the area.

It seems it basically comes down to the city/county favoring the higher income areas and forgetting about the lower income which is a majority black area in this case.

Didn't she send her kids to private schools?
Doesn't she have a home in Martha's Vineyard?

Anyway.
Hell yeah white people are running away from black communities.
Anybody will the ability would.

Gotta ask yourself, why Martha's Vineyard and not Chicago?
In fact, what does it say when even black families that can move, do, and live in the burbs?

Why Martha's Vineyard?

Martha's Vineyard has been the vacation spot for the black elite for more than 100 years.

Any black person that is a 1%er, professional, academic, businessman, politicians, etc vacations / has summer homes on Martha's Vineyard. The island is literally a who's who of black America. The black elite have been spending summers there for generations.

This is a good article on the history of Martha's Vineyard and why it is so popular with the black elite / upper class.

Why is Martha's Vineyard So Important to the Black Elite

I prefer being called racist and having a safe place to sleep if It means getting out of that hell hole.

that right there says it all. just because the parents in a "minority communities" are fine upstanding people doesn't mean their kids will be and that they won't drag all the crime and lawlessness that infects other neighborhoods to theirs.

And that seems to be the common denominator - grandma and grandpa are raising the kids because mom and dad are either in prison or dead, or out dealing drugs. So half of the kids (or more) get caught up in that cycle and it continues.

So that is a phenomenon that is not only worth mentioning, but we should be ashamed for not embracing the uh, culture, they bring to our communities.

But what about the tendency for blacks to run TOWARD white communities? Why is it that they run towards the evil racist white man? All over the world it's happening. They litteraly flock to the white man like a shepard.

And our dumb asses thought they would appreciate a helping hand.

oh come on bro, family dont matter. a kid can be raised by a grandma, a single mom, two dads, a stranger, or a pack of wolves and it dont matter none. your on that old racist bigoted patriarchy nonsense where you think a child really needs both a mom and a dad. a kid is like, a toaster. or a dog, or something else that is not human or does not have a soul, you just stick em in front of the tv and keep the fridge full of store brand soda and theyll be fine.

in fact, what theyre teaching nowadays is for the parent to make sure and Not influence the kids too much. cause what if your child wants to become an unhappy Muslim? Or a miserable LGBT person? If they so much as see a BIBLE in your house they might not feel comfortable with becoming who they truly are. So, just keep quiet, dont complain, and just open your front door and let the wide world of weirdos raise your child. Your main concern should be looking good for the opposite sex and defeating Trump. /sarc

What many of us consider to be good parenting, is quickly being labled as mental and emotional abuse.

So why did she leave? Oh that's right. B.O. is half white...Sheesh! These kind of "educated" racist can't just be an American. They have to color code everyone. She's part of the problem she's talking about. In reality, instead of raising them up, she's pushing them down. She makes me want to move from there and I have never seen the place!

Michelle Obama hate for White ppl continues to show. Someone should ask her what's it say when Blacks run from majority Black neighborhoods to White neighborhoods? I bet she would be speechless for once.
