Michelle Obama: Blacks Have Been ‘Frustrated and Invisible’ for ‘Decades’
From the article:
First Lady Michelle Obama urged students at Tuskegee University, a historically black university in Alabama, to remain involved in civic life during a time of tension regarding race relations across the country.
At the school’s commencement address, the First Lady listed scenarios in which African-Americans feel they encounter systemic discrimination, such as “nagging worries that you’re going to get stopped or pulled over for absolutely no reason.” She said those feelings are “real,” but disengaging is not an option.
OMGosh, what a joke. Our close to a decade “Black President” doesn’t count I suppose?
Remember this is coming from a woman who is one of the most, if not THE most well known and recognized woman in the world. But she’s down with you bro’. Of course the bro’ she’s speaking to is in college.
Anything to stay relevant. NOT

From Wikipedia.com:
Oprah Gail Winfrey (born January 29, 1954) is an American media proprietor, talk show host, actress, producer, and philanthropist.[1] Winfrey is best known for her talk show The Oprah Winfrey Show, which was the highest-rated program of its kind in history and was nationally syndicated from 1986 to 2011.
No one has a nationally syndicated program for 25 years and remains “invisible”. How about Whoopi Goldberg? Not exactly invisible, huh? She’s very outspoken about several things. I’ll bet no one knows who Colin Powell is?
Here’s a list of more invisible black people (yes, I’m being sarcastic):
