[/quote] Michelle Obama put every proud American down soon after her husband became the Democratic nominee when she said "For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country". Oh? Really? The country which gave her, her husband and all African-Americans more opportunity to better themselves than any other country in the world? Ungrateful BITCH if you ask me. [/quote] Firstly, African-Americans are Americans and come ONLY from America, why would any other country give them opportunities. In The UK for instance, black people are called, if not black, then Afro-Caribbeans, and in the UK black people are not offended if you say they are black, any more than I would be offended if you call me white. Secondly, what has the US done for black people? Self-righteous Americans should remember that it is only just over 100 years since slavery was abolished, and within this lifetime (for some of us) that they were given the vote and that segregation was abolished. I don't wonder that black people have chips on their shoulder, they have a right to. President Obama however, whom I supported and still think was the best choice, given the alternatives, has been a big disappointment to me. Sort of like a black Jimmy Carter, wonderful yet totally ineffective.
