Nor can I know what it's like to be a black woman growing up experiencing racial predjudice or judge Mrs. Obama's to honestly suspect that to be a source of her temperment.
I can't really relate to the special life experiences of either of these people. Nor can I judge their patriotism or degree of love for country. If I have to assume, I don't think any candidate or candidates wife would put themselves in the position to be president (or first lady) and commit their lives to public service if they didn't throroughly love their country.
I'm not sure what the moral of this story is. Perhaps you are attempting to demonstrate that you have some kind of telepathic gifting that allows you to gleen the secret thoughts and motives of others. It probably would have been easier to actually speak to and ask those "brothers" what their thoughts were instead of projecting your own thoughts on them.
That might explain your claim of the ability to read Michelle Obama's mind.

The moral of the story is, most black people wont say it but we are glad that we are now Americans rather than Africans.
Some, like Michelle, still hold racial tensions about something that happened 150 years ago. I bet she would be first in line to see white people have there land taken just because 150 years ago there were black slaves working the land, even if the land had changed hands and ownership. One white person is just as guilty as another I think would be foremost on her mind.
Like most liberals, Michelle is still living in the past and holds the white race accountable for every bad thing that has ever been done to the black race. But ignore the fact that black tribes sold slaves from other black tribes into slavery and that there were very few white owned slave ships the rest being owned by Spanish, Portuguese or Arabs.
