Michelle Obama Cries “RACISM” After THIS Happened at a Target store.

The Golden Rule or ethic of reciprocity is a maxim, ethical code or morality that essentially states either of the following:

– One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself. (Golden rule)

– One should not treat others in ways that one would not like to be treated (the Silver rule).

Michelle Obama worked her way through college compiling poorly written essays on racial discrimination. Now, she is talking to People Magazine about a tour she took recently as the First Lady of the United States at a Target store. At 5 ft. 11 in., someone didn’t recognize her, and asked Michelle to help her grab something off of a shelf.  And she calls this racism… or something.

What was the purpose of the tour?  Where were her secret service agents?  Did she film this episode with the woman?   Is she angry that no one recognized her?  Lots of questions and no answers.  This happens to me all of the time.  I have even had little old ladies asked me to stoop down to the ground shelf and grab something for them.  What would a person do – why, stoop down and get it?  Who would say, “Get it yourself.”  Maybe in New York – but not Texas!

The Obama’s talked with People magazine about dealing with their “own racist experiences,” as the magazine described.

Michelle Obama told one story that recently took place, even as she was first lady of the United States.

“I tell this story – I mean, even as the first lady – during that wonderfully publicized trip I took to Target, not highly disguised, the only person who came up to me in the store was a woman who asked me to help her take something off a shelf. Because she didn’t see me as the first lady, she saw me as someone who could help her. Those kinds of things happen in life. So it isn’t anything new,” Michelle Obama, who is 5’11”, said.  Many times in Wal-Mart I have people ask me – if I am familiar with the store and where a particular item is – since they change things all of the time.

She also said that her husband, Barack Obama, was asked to get coffee when he was wearing a tux. “He was wearing a tuxedo at a black-tie dinner, and somebody asked him to get coffee,” she told People.  What he should have done is use common sense and turn around and find a waiter and direct them to this person’s table and flabbergas the people by introducing himself.  Obama missed a teaching moment.  Where were the secret service agents?  Do you think for a  minute the agents would have let anyone even get close much less ask him to serve coffee.  Was a film made of this to prove both of these happenings? With the experience the American people have had in the past six years – being truthful for these two has not been a virtue to say the least.

The president told his own experiences. “There’s no black male my age, who’s a professional, who hasn’t come out of a restaurant and is waiting for their car and somebody didn’t hand them their car keys,” Obama told the magazine.  Another teaching moment – saying to the people – Are you giving me your car?

Because racism is so bad in America… That her husband became the President of the United States?

What is shameful about this story is how detached Michelle Obama is from basic, polite gestures of civility. People in stores can be friendly, and now someone who made an unassuming request is now used by Michelle as the poster child for bigotry.

This so-called woman has no class if you can help some one by getting some thing off the shelve they can’t reach that’s not racism it’s common courtesy.

I do it all the time when I’m shopping at Wall mart. It makes me feel good that I can help someone. I pick up merchandise that people drop on the floor and put it back where it belongs. I watch other people walk right by it.

Sometimes people actually need help. Asking the First Lady wasn’t racist. she was just tall enough to reach the item. Does being the First Lady mean you are above helping others?

How is asking someone to get something off the shelf that they can’t reach is Racism give me a break.

Everything is racist to a racist.  I wondered if Michelle has heard of the Golden Rule?

Why did she try to fool the people by going incognito?  I certainly would not have recognized her.  I think the joke is on her!  As famous as she is – why didn’t she go as herself?

These two need to stop playing the victim game.  With the special needs they have received in life – they have ridden the gravy train all of their lives. Quit wearing their feelings on their sleeves.   Get over it – God has been good to both of you and your two young girls! But that way of life doesn’t make news.
