Obamas Relate Racist Experiences <http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/typepad/uIXt/~3/f64ZFONmUDQ/obamas-relate-racist-experiences.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email> Posted: 17 Dec 2014 12:47 PM PST In the article, President Obama tells of a time in high school when a white police officer accused young Barack <http://peacemoonbeam.typepad.com/Young%20Barack%20Obama.jpg> of being a drug abuser. "Being called a pothead based on the color of my eyes taught me racism isn't dead. From what I can remember, it hurt." First Lady Michelle also struggled with racist stereotypes in her childhood: "I was very tall and lanky as a young girl. In gym class one day we were climbing ropes. When it was my turn, I remember my white teacher saying, "Michelle, you should be good at this," obviously inferring that I was a big monkey. I never got over it." * [image: Young Michelle Obama] <http://peacemoonbeam.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451af9f69e201b8d0abd14b970c-popup>Young Barack, Michelle Obama* You are subscribed to email updates from Big Hairy News <http://www.bighairynews.com/> To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now <https://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailunsubscribe?k=ViXCl-gDjgRlV4COOli3f0zx_cw> .
