Michelle Obama Mentions Racism, Fox News Elevates
Angry Black Person Threat Level to Super Uppity
From Daily Kos. When the First Lady delivered the commencement speech at Tuskegee University this past weekend, she described her experiences as a black female successfully navigating the biases in the academic and legal corridors of power. Immediately, the right wing erupted in disapproval: she's angry, she's divisive, she's a product of affirmative action, she's blah blah, and yes, blah. It's not enough for them to slander the President. They have to go after his popular wife. It's what you do when you're out of ideas, out of step, and projecting your own anger and hatefulness on others.
