Is Michelle really proud?

So on the way home tonight I was listing to the radio and the topic was about Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain.
The host is a real Obama supporter and I don’t think that there is anything the Obamas’ could do that he would not excuse.
Anyway he was talking about he comment that Michelle had said about her not being really proud about America and was giving the excuses for it, and ho Cindy doesn’t have a right to say anything about it because she had a different experience than a black person would have had growing up.
His basic premise is that because there are black people that experienced the racism against them that a black person could have ill feeling.
Ok to be fair I’m not saying that everyone should be forced to have great feelings, but if you have hard feeling towards that country why are you supporting you husband in running for the top job. I know to make it better. By telling white folk that they really screwed it up and it will take a black man to make it better? That’s really color blind.
Anyway the host keep jumping back to that Michelle was totally justified in having hard feeling toward the us because of it’s racism past.
I just have a few questions.
How long do was have to pay for our racism past?
No one I know or was related to has owned a slave or asked a black man to got to the back of the bus.
If you really are only proud of the country now, why would you run for the top job?
And please don’t try and tell me that Brack is running not Michelle, If he is running, she is running because of how she has put herself in the front lines. I mean how much effort you are going to put into something that you have hard felling about.
I also know that I do share most of the feeling and thoughts of my wife. The ones we truly differed from we have mostly come to common ground, and we have only been married seven years.
One last thing, Cindy may have brought it up in an interview today, but then again so did Michelle on the View. So it’s not just he vast right wing conspiracy talking about it.
