If that's true, have you ever considered that the higher incidence of violent crimes committed by black males may have something to do with that? The instinct of self-preservation is the strongest instinct any animal possesses, humans included. If I live in a forest and I know that spotted animals are more likely to rob, rape, or murder me than striped animals I'm going to be extra cautious around spotted animals. It's not necessarily racism. It may just be common sense and a strong instinct to survive. Food for thought.

This has probably already been mentioned in this thread but they found a tape of her on David Letterman a few years back talking about this same incident at Target except that this first time she talks about it like it's a totally innocent situation and how the lady who asked for help was SHORT and couldn't come close to reaching the top shelf for what she needed. (The outrage!!)

In fact, back then it had nothing to do with racism she was explaining how happy she was to be out shopping "incognito"( she was dressed down in workout gear and baseball cap). Now apparently they needed her to drum up a good ole racist "incident" and suddenly that's the best story for the narrative she could come up with?

So because Michelle is the First Lady, she is incapable of helping someone out?

Interesting.

Honestly, I'm surprised that's the best they could come up with. They were born in the 1960s and lived in Chicago. You would think they would have experienced actual racist incidents on at least a few occasions.

Solid piece of objective, verifiable, reproducible evidence with high inter-rater reliability. You're not an accomplished researcher, are you?

Didn't Barry's own "typical white person" grandmother expose him to the sting of racial bias?

You would think the Secret Service, wouldn't let someone get that close to her.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say white people are asked for help more frequently than black peeps these days. There can be a certain amount of humbleness and trust involved on the askee's part, no doubt.

LOL.

Keep trying to pretend you live under a rock.

I also don't have a lot of research on the fact that if a hot chick walks by in a bikini in Baton Rouge, a subset of men will turn and look.

You have any other things obvious in life you need "researched"????
