Fox guest to Michelle Obama: Don’t complain about racism because whites hired you for your black skin

Fox News contributor Angela McGlowan asserted on Tuesday that First Lady Michelle Obama had been wrong to bring up racial issues in a recent commencement speech because she owed her success to the color of her skin.

Speaking at the historically-black Tuskegee University over the weekend, the first lady talked about how black people were treated differently at department stores, made to feel as they were less intelligent, and had their patriotism questioned.

McGlowan argued that Obama’s speech may have been acceptable if it had been a “regular time” in the history of the United States, but that she should have avoided the topic because her husband, President Barack Obama, and former Attorney General Eric Holder had “utilized race to divide this country.”

“By saying ‘we’ and ‘against us’ is saying that there is a white oppressor, that there’s a system that’s against us,” she explained. “However, why didn’t the first lady share the reason why she got into Princeton was probably because of Affirmative Action?”

“The reason why she became an associate at a law firm was probably because of diversity, they needed a woman — not saying that she wasn’t qualified — but they needed a woman, and a woman of color. That’s a twofer.”

Michelle Obama mentions racism, Fox News elevates angry black person threat level to Super-Uppity

Hannity claimed that Obama's recent speech is "a culmination of anger, deep rooted anger, that has built up in Michelle Obama." Hannity went on, "It's kind of sad. There's a bitterness here to the whole experience of being first lady, a lack of appreciation for the opportunities that they've had."

Being angry at past racist incidents is, of course, the first step to becoming uppity. Best just be grateful. Grateful, I tell you, or creepy but proudly not-at-all-racist radio show hosts like Laura Ingraham will be scuttling out of every nook and crevice to question whether you have really ever experienced racism in this country or whether you're just making it up to make America look bad.

I don't believe that story, never did. ... That just wasn't true. But this is the First Lady of the United States who has reached the pinnacle of success in our country, her husband has, and this was a litany of victimization which is exactly what we want young African-American graduates of a terrific university to take away with.

Even Ann Coulter climbed out of her coffin to weigh in, which for Ann Coulter consisted of references to Reverend Wright and slavery and her belief that there was not one "peaceful" protester in all of Baltimore.

"As if work-a-day blacks are rushing out to protest Freddie Gray. No they aren’t,” she said.
