CURL of the Washington Times: For Michelle Obama, world is black and white — but skin deep - "She talks about it often, incessantly, even, injecting race and racism into speeches and events in which they have no business." (School desegregation and neighborhood desegregation always fail because on a daily basis people prefer to be around their own kind and whites always move away from nonwhite dilapidation, corruption, crime, violence and threats of violence.)

CURL: For Michelle Obama, world is black and white — but skin deep



For “Decider in Chief” George W. Bush, the world was black and white. Good and bad, right and wrong, with us or against us.

For Michelle Obama, the world is also black and white. But her black and white is all about skin color.

She talks about it often, incessantly, even, injecting race and racism into speeches and events in which they have no business. And she did so again on Friday, when she traveled to Topeka, Kansas, to deliver a speech to graduating high school seniors.

First, a background note: Her speech was moved up a day after parents complained that her visit to a school district — just blocks from the historic schoolhouse central to the Brown v. Education Supreme Court decision that outlawed segregation — would focus on race, not their children’s accomplishments.

And that, in fact, is exactly what the first lady did.

“Today, by some measures, our schools are as segregated as they were back when Dr. King gave his final speech,” she told the 1,200 seniors and their families.

“Many districts in this country have actually pulled back on efforts to integrate their schools, and many communities have become less diverse as folks have moved from cities to suburbs And as a result, many young people in America are going to school largely with kids who look just like them. . . .
