Older, but telling: Michelle Obama and Race

OK, after watching the last video I posted on the Democrats who took MONEY from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae covering up problems, I scanned down the sidebar on YouTube and this video caught my attention. It's Michelle Obama talking race during the Primary. After you watch this tell me that every single friend you have who's black is feeling this way? I had conversations with some of my black friends back during the Primary who talked about how they couldn't even bring up a negative about Barack Obama without being ostracized by their friends! They couldn't say the word "Hillary" without having their families practically boot them out. What is this woman talking about???? I HATE it that race is still something to be USED. I grew up military, never even thought about the color of someone's skin, it was all about what you could do and your core values. I never heard this kind of poor me crud until I heard it from the blacks who make money by playing the race card. Oh man, am I going to be jumped on by racists on both sides of the so-called divide now... I don't want to hear it. I have too many black friends, good friends, who have climbed above the poor-me, everyone is dumping on my cause of the color of my skin. Michelle Obama is an example of the American Dream and she should be able to rise above playing the race card.
