The Audacity of Hopelessness

Guess Michelle isn't proud of her country anymore. Nice while it lasted. "See, now we're feeling what not having hope feels like. You know, hope is necessary. It's a necessary concept. And Barack didn't just talk about hope because he thought it was just a nice slogan to get votes."

The racial undertones of that meme are disturbing.

'member when the Right told us that they voted for trump because the left hurt their feelings?

 

[BarcaDeac]

well she heard our soon-to-be president talk so much about how we never win anymore, maybe it sunk in.

Barack has been reasonably classy so far about the election.

Why? If you saw a pic of Rosie O' Donnel and Kate Winslet with that caption would you bat an eye?

Classier than Hillary or his wife, but that's not saying much.

Are you really justifying that caption. It is racist.

You're surprised? He's a classy dude.

He can be when he wants to be. But I mentioned it because on this occasion he took the high road, unlike his wife, or Hillary, or Bill. So good on him.

Michelle Obama is hella classy. I've always found most of the criticism of her racist as fuck.

 

[ImTheCaptain]

well-spoken, too

I find her a bit lacking in hope right at the moment.

I can see people whose worldview is defined by race, like a Klansman or someone who is steeped in pc culture, thinking that meme is racist. To me, what I see is someone taking one of the most unflattering pics of Michelle they could find, meant to make her look as homely as possible, and comparing it to a glamour shot of Melania. I find it no different than someone taking an awful pic of Rosie and putting it next to a pic of Angelina Jolie and using that caption. If you see it as being racist that's on you. As for me, I'm color blind when I look at people, I love all people regardless of race. :heart:

Fascinating and thoughtful, as always.
