Michelle On Risk of U.S.

Michelle observes that Obama as a Black man in the US could be killed going to the gas station...they were not raised to let the threat of white violence stop their day to day trod.

In Obama's 2nd Trayvon speech, and remember it did take TWO, he echoed Michelle's line of thought: 'hey...it could have been me'.  Isn't this defeatist.  The Same thing in his Henry Louis Gates speech, (before he bumped his head and called a white cop 'stupid'), he first said 'you know, that could have been me in my house'.

So they mean: 'We run the risk of being niggerized by being here in the US (i.e. where racism-yt supremacy-in it's most lethal form 'lives').  We were not raised to let the fear of that paralyze us.'

How much further though is it to move from not being afraid of it, to actually moving to stop racism-yt supremacy Directly?

It is a long long way.
