    Michelle Obama complains that she is no "angry black woman" and is tired of the rumor that she is.

    But a Google search does not turn up any other reference to her that way except by her.

    That is pretty much like a black person hanging a noose outside their home to get public sympathy when they were accused of stealing some kid's lunch money.

    Shame on the first black first lady for hiding behind the race card.

    Interesting.

    Which part of that is "playing the race card"? Certainly, using this forum as a microcosm of the country, there have been number of folks that have stereotyped her as just that, an angry black woman.

    How is stating she is not playing the race card?

    The "angry black woman" is a societal stereotype and a cultural colloquialism.

    It is not something that Michelle Obama imagined....and the way she referenced it does not constitute playing the race card.

    You can be angry without being black. Why would she refer to herself as black?

    Michelle is trash, and it has nothing to do with her race. She's the First Lady who was only proud of America one time in her adult life. She's a national disgrace. Hopefully she'll stay overseas the next time she goes on vacation or goes shopping.

    Your denials would be more credible if she wasnt a repeat offender....

    Wouldn't the race card be if she said it was because she was black, not that, as a fact, she is black?

    I don't think you understand the term...

    Righties make veiled (and sometimes not very veiled) racial attacks, and when the target responds....they are accused of playing the card.....
