Friday on CBS This Morning, former first lady Michelle Obama claimed falsely that people take to the street in Black Lives Matter protests because they have to.
Asked about the murder conviction of former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd, Michelle complained that “many of us [black people] still live in fear as we go to the grocery store, or walking our dogs, or allowing our children to get a license.
“Every time [my teen daughters] get in a car by themselves, I worry about what assumption is being made by somebody who doesn’t know everything about them,” the wife of a former two-time president whined. “The fact that they are good students and polite girls, but maybe they’re playing their music a little loud, maybe somebody sees the back of their head and makes an assumption. I, like so many parents of black kids, have to — the innocent act of getting a license puts fear in our hearts.”
Michelle is the one putting fear into hearts, stoking false narratives about blacks and the police. If her daughters obey the law, deal respectfully with cops, and obey cops’ verbal commands, there will be problem.
She added, “So, I think we have to talk about it more, and we have to ask our fellow citizens to listen a bit more and to believe us and to know we don’t wanna be out there marching. I mean, all those Black Lives Matters kids, they’d rather not have to worry about this. They’re taking to the streets because they have to. They’re trying to have people understand that we’re real folks, and the fear that many have of so many of us is irrational, and it’s based on a history that is just — it’s sad, and it’s dark, and it’s time for us to move beyond that.”
Those Black Lives Matter “kids” are violent, Marxist revolutionaries whose aim is the destruction of the capitalist West. Police brutality is merely the issue they hype, exploit, and weaponize to further that aim.
