Former First Lady Michelle Obama, one of the most admired women in America, has again pulled the race card. The Obamas recently purchased a $12.7 million dollar house in Martha’s Vineyard, within walking distance to the ocean, yet they stoke fear in others about climate change eroding the coast. Michelle opposes school choice but chose to attend a high school outside of her own neighborhood.
Her own children attended private schools, yet other parents are denied the same freedom for their own families. Democrats still hold a large percentage of the black vote, and the Obamas could foster a great deal of racial healing, but instead, they choose to pull out the race card.
Using the race card leads to the victim mentality that plagues American society today. Additionally, it leads to a lack of individual accountability.
