Former first lady Michelle Obama condemned what she called the systemic racism emanating from the White House and elsewhere around the country in an explosive statement on Friday that addressed recent killings and racial unrest in Kenosha, Wis.
These past few months, Ive been thinking a lot about what our kids are seeing every day in this country the lack of empathy, the division stoked in times of crisis, the age-old and systemic racism thats been so prominent this summer, Obama said.
Sometimes they see it on the news. Sometimes they see it from the White House Rose Garden. And sometimes they see it from the back seat of a car.
Obamas statement represents another intense criticism of President Donald Trump following her Democratic National Convention speech last week.
It also comes as the violence in Kenosha has emerged as a new flashpoint of the 2020 White House race.
