    "I know Michele to be racist because of her words and actions."

    Xrandadu:

    "No you don't. You're just saying that because you, yourself, have made up your mind about something that you have no evidence for. You have absolutely nothing to go on here. This article pretty well debunks the idea that Michelle's college thesis is in any way racist. So what else do you have to go on? Almost everything cited as evidence for Michelle's "racism" has turned out to have no substance."

    Michelle Obama:

    "There was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the black community, I am obligated to this community and will utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit the black community first and foremost."

    How is this not racist?
