Michelle Wants Kids to Monitor Family for Racism

[HenryBHough]

Democrat Youth Indoctrination teaches children they need not think for themselves. Just kick back and let the party leaders do it for them and all good things will flow.

Sort of like the old-time Hitler Youth program which worked out so well for a generation. But not for two.

You cannot take Michele Obamas statement out of context with the rest of the things she has said since becoming a public figure. I have never been proud of my country of course is the winner. She has absolute disdain for the American taxpayer when it comes to her vacation junkets and clothes purchasing. She refuses to answer probing questions from reporters claiming she doesn't do well in such venues, basically shut up and listen to what I am saying. The woman has no bond with middle class Americans. She is the Marie Antoinette of our time.

Anyone who doesn't consider this subtle and purposeful progressive brainwashing directed at the easily molded minds of our politically defenseless children is refusing to recognize reality. Imagine Laura Bush suggesting that children tell their elders to read the bible more and become more Christian in their views. How would that be received?

This is why Obama wants every child in some form of federally funded child care and education. Every student continuing on in college aided by a fungible student loan, following the alinskys objectives of teaching young people what to think and preventing them from learning how to think for themselves.

yep, just like Obama told them not to fear government...who tells that at a graduation?
they are both evil in my book..
Obama tells graduates to reject cynical views of government - Politics - The Boston Globe

First Lady Michelle Obama said students should monitor family members, friends and co-workers for racially insensitive remarks and correct them as needed,

#####

Does that include racially insensitive remarks about White people?

Wonder if she's had her kids phone Chris Rock yet?

bigotry--as long as we have that--we will have this. Donald Sterling --to name one.

I assume MO is coming from this POV--and, yes--given that--I can live with what she said.

fwiw--I taught in an inner city--'paid the price'--still believe in the goodness of people---such complicated problems. Hating got me nowhere--health problems, etc.

I find that I am not the first to present the manifold forms of Burke’s Triumph of Evil quote. Lee Frank had already given his own list, The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

All that is needed for the forces of evil to triumph is for enough good men to do nothing.

All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

In order for ‘evil’ to prevail, all that need happen is for ‘good’ people to do nothing.

All that is needed for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

The surest way for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

All it will take for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing.

All that is necessary for the forces of evil to take root in the world is for enough good men to do nothing.

All that is needed for the forces of evil to succeed is for enough good men to remain silent.

All it takes for Evil to prevail in this world is for enough good men to do nothing.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. http://www.leefrank.com/9112001/into_war.html

This reminds me of several governments that asked children to do the same.

National Socialist Germany and Austria asked patriotic children to report Jews who had not previously been identified.

The Soviet Socialist Union had children groups where they reported to local political commissars who was not following the party line.

It's what EVERY tyranny does to try to keep its power!!!

 

[wavingrl]

so complicated--all I know.

A system of checks and balances---change.

just thinking to myself.

something major had better be done about the VA--all I know. 'The Bad Voter'--but ==yes, I will. You just don't treat people who have laid their lives on the line like this. No excuse.

snopes.com: Michelle Obama at Kids' Choice Awards

I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but I would like the ladies of USMB to weigh in on this outfit. To me yes, it looks like a coochie momma, and regardless of my feelings for her this seems to be disrespectful of the office of First Lady. I have no problems with looking cool but this shows a scandalous lack of class, but I will be the first to admit that I am no fashionista.

ok---around Thanksgiving there were lengthy threads on all of this. Every opinion imaginable was given.

In defense some said: ---???this was an evening affair??? cannot remember. She can wear what she wants--she is not just Mom.
I don't know --maybe someone else can remember. I didn't like that/those threads--nasty attacks for the most part.

Myself--I would have opted for something less adventuresome. I generally think she makes good choices---not a big issue for me. I don't attend galas---have no idea what others were wearing---might have been much worse.

Would prefer 'First Lady/Fashion Icon' to fade away.

here's another link --maybe some insight can be gleaned--

Media silent as Michelle Obama tells students to monitor families for racism - National Policy & Issues | Examiner.com

It almost sounds like something straight out of George Orwell's "1984." While speaking to high school graduates in Topeka, Kansas, First Lady Michelle Obama said students should monitor family members, friends and co-workers for racially insensitive remarks and correct them as needed, The Blaze reported Monday. Aside from The Blaze and various conservative blogs, no mainstream media outlet reported the comments as of this writing.

Obama also referenced this in remarks published on the White House website, The Blaze added.

“[O]ur laws may no longer separate us based on our skin color, but nothing in the Constitution says we have to eat together in the lunchroom, or live together in the same neighborhoods,” the first lady said. “There’s no court case against believing in stereotypes or thinking that certain kinds of hateful jokes or comments are funny.”

She asked students to “drag my generation and your grandparents’ generation along with you” in the fight against racism.

“Maybe that starts simply in your own family, when grandpa tells that off-colored joke at Thanksgiving, or you’ve got an aunt [that] talks about ‘those people,’” she added. “Well, you can politely inform them that they’re talking about your friends."

Radio talk show host Glenn Beck noted Obama's comments and sarcastically wondered if segregation was making a comeback under the radar.

"Michelle Obama gave a speech where… they’re worried about segregation again, and I don’t think that that was something that any of us worried about six years ago,” he said. “Was anybody on the, ‘Hey, we might all be segregated again?’ I don’t know. It’s strange how their policies to bring us all together is just driving a stake in our heart and a wedge between all of us.”

Obama is promoting what amounts to block monitors within the family, a favorite tactic of Stalinists and PC Nazis of the past century.

Good for her

Kids have always been the strongest monitors of racism

Daddy...you are embarrassing me.
I don't want to bring my friends here anymore

What does "common core" say? Turn in your parents to the nearest IRS office and get an "A" in social studies? I wouldn't be surprised if that might be the agenda of the brave new world of union based socialist liberalism promoted by the Hussein Obamas.

Do,you guys just make shit up about common core?

Is the common core as good as the school lunches Michelle makes the kids eat?

You tell me

when has Michelle Obama ever made a kid eat lunch?

Children should be seen and not heard. If I had made any correction of my grandparents, my parents would have been taken aside and told not to come back until I learned to behave.

Children get told that friends are unwelcome all the time. A girl is a skank. A boy smokes dope. It's part of making decisions for children they are too immature to make for themselves. Pop culture portrays children as the wise decision makers. It's not that way in real life.

There are times when 'children should not be involved'--I can go that far.

I am possibly certifiable--what I would take away from the message---'If there is an appropriate opportunity to discuss what you believe with members of your family who may believe differently--seize the day' I know she used different words--she is passionate and activism is second nature. A softer approach might have been better --but this was Kansas--Brown v Board of Education---dear to her heart.

The speaking of our truths. Become wearisome.

Someone I wholeheartedly admire---I would listen to every word they said. For me such people seem to be the kind that 'don't tell others what to do'---so she made the speech. School's out---summer fun?

 

[gallantwarrior]

she said something obvious and you all freak

do you even LIVE your own lives, or just vicariously through the obamas mistakes?

She said something that any traditional family is OBVIOUSLY going to take significant offense to. Where I come from, children do not attempt to "correct" or "teach" their parents ANYTHING. That's a one way trip to a very unpleasant (and quite painful) place for the child.

"Traditional" families punish kids by beating them?

You can save that tradition, thanks.

"Traditional" families are like that dimwad this week who's email was exposed to be calling Obama a ******, and if he's challenged by a kid who is smarter than he is the kid gets his ass kicked?

You can save that tradition, thanks.

Obama's a ******!!! I would never have guessed...

 

[gallantwarrior]

Challenging and correcting are far more expedient and productive than reporting.

When you report someone's supposed racism ... Then you hobble the effectiveness in correction through unnecessary litigation or process in determining fault. The administration would also have to take personal responsibility for how they handle ... Or fail to handle any such reporting.

So I assume the way the Government knows that my child has "challenged and corrected" me for something is when he/she doesn't show up for school multiple days because they've been locked in their bedroom for the next three weeks?

So essentially they get the kids to not only do their dirty work but to take the brunt of the retaliation from their parents. Neat idea. Another reason to NEVER send any child to any Government-run or funded facility (school, daycare, etc....)

It is a lot easier to incite a bunch of mush-headed children to become misguided race vigilanties. That way there no need to establish any kind of responsible response measured on actual fact of fault.

And more impotantly to get the kids to become the focus of the retaliation by the parents, rather than the Government.

Worse yet, the children will be indoctrinated to invoke government intercession to punish the parents.

So now Michelle had nothing to do with lunch menus in schools?
