Michelle Obama spoke out against "white flight" in a recent interview, saying she experienced it as a kid and that it remains a problem.
"As families like ours — upstanding families like ours who were doing everything we were supposed to do and better. As we moved in, white folks moved out because they were afraid of what our families represented," the former first lady said Tuesday at the Obama Foundation Summit in Chicago.
"I want to remind white folks that y’all were running from us ... This family, with all the values that you read about, you were running from us. And you’re still running because we’re no different than the immigrant families that are moving in," she continued. "The families that are coming from other places to try to do better. But, because we can so easily wash over who we really were — because of the color of our skin, because of the texture of our hair — that’s what divides countries, artificial things."

She now has a fence around all of her homes.
And we still are
Shut up Moochelle, or should I say, Michael.
You're just blathering on to try to become relevant again.
The reason "Whitey" moves out is because you park yall's hoopties and donks on the front yard, play your ghetto trash music too loud, sell drugs, carry guns, never talk but holler everything you say 'cuz you didn't get enough attention as a child, let your property fall into ruin, let your garbage cans overflow, and make hard looks at white folks like we're supposed to be scared of you. Get over it. Stop bringing up the color of your skin and start acting non-third world.
See how I generalized there?
I've got Haitian neighbors on one side and Hispanic neighbors on the other and we all respect each other and are friends. I am a white conservative, by the way, so just shut you mouth and get over it.
Racist.
Michael ur day is coming WITCH.
Salisbury is a prime example!! Who the F*** in their right mind would want to stay around??
Hell , black folks are afraid to live in black areas , what a stupid statement she made , 93% of all shootings occur in black areas by 30% of the u.s. population which is black .
Moooo fella.
Yes, this is. I must go vote for Obama immediately and give him all my money's, this is what you will be saying when they get your minds. In 2011, the Brain Initiative was launched. The purpose is clear, it's for brainwave communication. Since the 1960's (cathode Ray tubes) the government (secret cabal, LBJ, Clinton, Pelosi, Mr. Rogers) have sought to infiltrate the mind. Propaganda will be nothing once they accomplish this initiative! See with minds eyes!
Actually, that is why I don't go to south WaWa anymore....
I notice she didn't go back to her old neighborhood. You don't have to be afraid of people who live in Martha's Vineyard do y'all.
So hey MB why not let the real texture of your hair show through?
@1:15- Jim Jones! There you are!
y’all ....what a dope
Are you kidding me ? The two of them are Whiter than Wasps . That's why they were so hated by their own and whites alike. Not because of their race but their denial of and the mockery they made of low class whites with their educations and privilege being well spoken and articulating pandering poster children of change. Trump does the thing dumbing it down and tapping the emotions of those that feel disaffiliated post Obamarama. It's all a pitch and always has been. I wonder when we will wise up and not take them all so seriously ? They only seek to divide and distract WE THE PEOPLE. We are the work force and the tax base that pays for their reality shit show. They come and go and we are in the trenches working to keep together what it is they seek to rule over.
@2:49 p.m.
Typo, DB.
The majority of blacks want to live near other blacks. Italians by Italians, orientals by orientals etc etc etc. so what, it doesn’t make you racist, it just makes you typically normal!!!
12:57 PM - The difference lies in this: you're either conveniently black or inconveniently black, depending your upbringing, social status, education, motivation, character and geographic location.
I have a great idea for ya michelle. You need a break fro your lying husband. I will buy you a ticket for a vacation in syria
Salisbury's demographics have definitely shifted. I've never seen such lazy ass people that think it's okay to just trash everything in the area their living in
What a hypocrite! You live in white neighborhoods. And you have done so for several decades. Move to the ghetto and see how long it takes for you to flee with you armed guards!
I personally just choose to live among fellow Caucasian. You can have the ghetto rap rattling the windows and the trash thrown out all up and down the roads. My right- my choice!! Don't needs the drama
My main issues are they don't take care of their yards and always, always scream when a civil low tone could be used. Always screaming at each other...
She should talk to Jessie Jackson about that.
last I checked Kalorama and Martha's Vineyard aren't hotbeds of black or immigrant populations...practice what you preach sweetie
Chewbacca is straight up nasty. Gansta NASTY. STANK nasty...
Exacty 2:15..chicago is where they really belong..but instead they live in a gated community
Yep there a rooftop waiting for him to take that leap of faith
Evil, vile,Deceptors, LYING POS
Running away from the crime and squalor that the black bring in.
It's not race. It's culture!
“It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.” -President Ronald Reagan
Fellow travelers, we wish that Reagan's words still rang true like they did when he was our leader. But as evidenced here, the liberals have morphed into Moaists, Leftists and centrists. How do you know the difference?
We should not vilify the true liberals. The ones who care about rights and freedoms. Soon, they too will be disgusted by the Maoists and Leftists. It's just a matter of time, you have seen their reaction the the post-birth abortion laws in NY and Va.
The Maoists and Leftists, my listeners, have the eyes and minds of Satan. You can identify them so easily. They are clearly part of the realm beyond which humans, regardless of religious beliefs, would identify as even remotely moral. Their consciousness has been replaced with Alinsky, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao's Little Red Book.
They make even Barack Obama look like a centrists. We have entered a dark era.
6:09-JIMMY JONES!!! Getting better! I could even understand what you were saying this time.
Running from the gunfire in the neighborhood, won't you be my neighbor?
You're damn straight we are. Who in their right mind wouldn't be? Bet she wouldn't dare walk in any of their neighborhoods either without all her armed body guards. She's such a bigoted hypocrit.
She can lie and deceive all she wants but statistics don’t, Where there is black, there are significantly lower property values and significantly more homes in disrepair. Period. Prove me different.
100% Oreo, both of 'em.
I've got to tell you, so many of you are so horrible.
If someone treated Melania the way you treat the former first lady, the outrage would abound. It's sad, actually.
It's also embarrassing.
Fine, don't agree with her ideas, that's completely o.k.... engage in the marketplace of ideas with new data, facts and ideas to change minds.
But this vitriolic frothing at the mouth nastiness I continually see, just as on display here is disheartening, and I think un-Christian, and un-American.
You treat people with common decency and respect. I'm sure that's what Jesus would do.
I have lived as a white person in a almost exclusive black neighborhood all my 49 years in Salisbury what have you got to say about that? Want to share stories?
8:36AM - THEY DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So that makes it right to treat someone else poorly?
Northwest Woodsman: I read the following comments on other sites which I am unable to recall. Nor was there any credit attributed to the author or I would credit him for this accurate submission.
" I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give
thanks for the many great contributions of the Black community and their
culture to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature make them ideal
neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and
parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. Their commitment to
academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who
hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real Estate values are fueled by
the influx of African Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful
nurturing of these communities, an example of all they have achieved by their
enthusiasm for self-improvement through hard work and a self-reliant can-do
nature. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would be poorer,
as a nation.
Presently enriching the cites of Spokane WA, Chicago IL, Philadelphia PA,
Washington DC, St. Louis MO, New Orleans LA, Los Angeles CA, Flint MI,
Baltimore MD, Pontiac MI, Gary Ind, Newark NJ, Cleveland OH, Atlanta GA,
Richmond VA, Memphis TN, Birmingham AL, New York NY, and let's not forget
Detroit, the tourism capital of the World!!!!!!"
Go eat some veggies from her garden hypocrite.
Practice that democratic BS much 836am, you sure talk the talk, but I bet you don't walk the walk.

And just where did you and that fool husband of yours buy your homes? Me thinks you fled the black neighborhoods too. She is an absolute idiot.
@ October 31, 2019 at 5:48 PM
I think it's quite telling that instead of address the obvious poor behavior and bad treatment of the former first lady, you choose to attack the person who speaks sense here, and curiously call into question their character. It makes no sense.
Content of character matters. Disagree with the ideas, that's fine. Offer up better ones.
But the poor and horrible treatment of the former first lady, or the current one for that matter, is really inexcusable.
I agree. These people are cancers
Uh, take the time to look at what your people do to neighborhoods when you start moving in. I used to live on Green Street in Fruitland. Quiet and peaceful until they moved a black family in 3 houses down from me. Next thing I know my windshield in my car is cracked from a stone throw by one of her kids. I know because I saw them several times throwing stones at a neighbors house and all up and down the street. The I see her oldest kid and a friend spray painting cuss words on someones house down the street. Then I see them taking things out of a boat in the parking lot of a business there. The I see her littlest kids trying to tear the street sign down. They were too small to get it all the way out. The city fixed it, and a week later they do it again. Then one day there are two cars full of blacks parked outside my house yelling and cussing at the black woman that lived in the house and threatening her that they were going to come back later and get her. Cops came from everywhere. The woman told the police they had a gun. Then another family of them moved next to the first black family and the entire street changed then. All hours of the night, yelling and cussing, playing in the street and not moving when a car comes down the street, and cussing the driver if they blow the horn to try and get them to move. Absolute animals. That's when I decided that I had had enough and started looking for a another place to live. In the country so there would be no thugs around. I went through that crap first hand and know others who experienced the same. YOU are the reason people leave neighborhoods. And I know there are a lot of others on this site that have seen or experienced the same. So don't blame us for your ignorance.
Totally agree!
I bet you have some stories
Do we still say oriental ?
Ok, let's get to the root of this. First of all Barack Obama is not black. He is both white and black from both black and white parents. He chose to be black for political purposes. He continues to sell his black origins, but he neglects to say anything of his white half. He is mad at himself for not being one or the other, yet he could be so much more. He married a hate-filled woman, angry at the world that has benefited her in so many ways thru education and employment. Still resentful that these generous gifts from both black and white, she feels ENTITLED to even more. Nothing can temper the resentment that permeates the very being of these two. It is best they fade into future being remembered that greed, avarice and failed power plays do not work.
Many of us don’t want Trannies in our neighborhood. We are Christians.
When those neighborhoods are the source of the most murders per capital in the entire nation....yes no one would want to live there regardless of the residents that do live there. I haven't seen the Obama's purchase a slum riddled house in Chicago since they left the White House. So it seems they don't want to live there either. Practice what you preach. Mic drop.
Moosechelle's only legacy is the great success she achieved in the filling of school cafeteria garbage cans.
Because your race is a violent race. You have no respect for yourselves, your neighbors or life in general. No body including black folks want to live around black people.
People that feel a need to ignore facts would be offended by what she said. There has always been a serious issue with race and understanding change.. people (Cacassian) claim to give fair treatment to others when in fact you judge and accuse anyone of color for all types of stereotypes instead of getting to know the person as a human being.
@3:04
No typo you dope DB
Wow - too many comments to read. Seems everyone figured out the Obama's the hard way. We wanted a Black President (not me) and we caught exactly that! No Presidential skills - just "Community Organizer". Used his position to get wealthy while leaving those stupid enough to vote for him high and dry. He was typical - position due to skin color - that's all. So MA go back to where you came from because their are a lot of Americans who don't got a shit about you. Thief!
That’s a racist statement right there and you did what you accuse white peoples of doing so take your own advice
Not all black people are like that, though.
Apparently, yes.
What about Christian trannies?
A hundred years ago we were chasing THEM and they were the ones running.
Just putting that out there.
No such thing. Just ill tranny's.
The hell they aren't!!
They should lobby their “leaders” for programs to attract whites to black areas. Since us leaving makes their schools go to sh1t and their neighborhoods dangerous. Why aren’t they doing al they can to convince whites to come back and improve the neighborhoods so the are livable for all?
Where ever we go, is where they want to be. We move away they follow and demand to be right there. I think they love us. Or maybe depend on us.
