Sometimes you should just STFU, seriously (by WalkSoftly)

"" The Obamas talked with People magazine
about dealing with their "own racist
experiences," as the magazine described.
Michelle Obama told one story that
recently took place, even as she was first
lady of the United States.
"I tell this story – I mean, even as the first
lady – during that wonderfully publicized
trip I took to Target, not highly disguised,
the only person who came up to me in the
store was a woman who asked me to help
her take something off a shelf. Because she
didn't see me as the first lady, she saw me
as someone who could help her. Those
kinds of things happen in life. So it isn't
anything new," Michelle Obama, who is
5'11", said.""
Link.

Im scratching my head here....was ol Michelle asked to help because she was black? Or because she was tall? Or because someone thought she worked there?
I cant count the number of times Ive been asked to help someone at a grocery store or a department store.....oh the horror.....everything isnt always about race. Sometimes, people just need some damn help.

Btw, by definition, the job of you and your elected husband is to help and serve ALL the people of this country. Get the fu.ck over yourself Mrs. Obama.

@WalkSoftly: A little old lady, about 90 yrs old asked me if I was making French onion soup. Maybe, I should of called the manager & the cops or flipped her taxi over... Because she was hungry, or forgot or couldn't see well, or just wanted someone to talk to. *sarcasm*
People are just people most of the time. And should lighten up.
