Michelle's speech has everything to do with this discussion since she is a not only coming from an informed position, but she herself represents the female vote seeing as she is not only a US citizen, but is an active female voter. I don't necessarily agree with others that she should be president as I don't think inspirational speeches are enough to prepare someone for the presidency. However, I don't see how some idle conjecture about her views on white privilege aka alleged racist views has anything to do with this topic...

That said, one of your quotes...



It's like setting up a large fire in the center of a live protest and then turning to people and saying "Well I don't care actually care about what the protesters are talking about... I just didn't like your choice in speakers". Bullocks.

I don't think Michelle Obama was the trigger behind your "throw away comment". I think you made the post to derail the thread because you didn't like the discussion, and for what purpose, I won't even try to surmise.

Whatever turns you on.
