#1 Discrimination is everywhere.

#2 So, maybe FLOTUS should organize and lead some museum field trips for minorities?

Oh, that's right, it's easier to pontificate than to do - if she weren't so irritating, she'd make a good arts critic.

#3 She's just like The Once. Everything is about her.

#4 Visit to the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago and tell me how well behaved the neighborhood 'yoots' are in and around the exhibits, please. These kids were never taught to respect the rights and properties of others.

Any Art Museum display in that particular area would have to be heavily secured to a wall or column and bulletproof.

#5 Oh, really? If they never went any place they weren't welcome, they sure wouldn't be at the mall.

#6 Remember Asians are the new 'whites' and do not qualify as a minority.

#7 Maybe the reason you don't feel welcome is because you are a completely spoiled bitch who's sense of entitlement alienates everyone near you.....

Nah. Gotta be racism.

#8 Stirring up trouble where none exists. Maybe FLOTUS should go see a therapist about these feelings. "Normal or nuts?" I'm going with nuts. She is a similar to the former erstwhile FLOTUS, Hillary.

#9 An attempt to extort 'donations'? Give us some cash or we'll send armies of misbehaving children to annoy your regular patrons.

Don't schools take the kids on exciting field trips to museums, plays and sewage treatment plants any more?

#10 Could it be that museums are generally where you need at least a rudimentary ability to read reason and a background education of basic history and science? The things there connect with those and expand on them unless you don't have them. Then they are just annoying buildings full of the proof of white privilege.

#11 This is the clearest thing she's said ever.

Basically she is saying feelings of persecution and being an outsider are self-ingrained in blacks. Long after the "White's Only" signs were thrown away they have a lingering effect.

MLK would cry to hear such a thing. He'd encourage far more field trips (and proper behavior) to encourage young blacks to erase that nonsense from their heads.

#12 Basically she is saying feelings of persecution and being an outsider are self-ingrained in blacks.

'Self-ingrained,'.... who knows. But it certainly appears to be is a highly desired end state.

#13 Put a liquor store sign in front of a broken window at the museum entrance. Now that appears welcoming.

#14 Airandee, I believe you've got something there. Maybe stick a drug dealer near the entrance too.

#15 Ah... Mrs. First Lady Ma'am. Have you ever walked the first six or so blocks of San Francisco's Mission Street before? The one with the dozen or so museums dedicated to minority groups on it? No? Does that not fit the narrative?

#16 Same shit, different day. Why does anyone invite her to anything to hear the same old spiel?
But maybe she was just afraid none of the museums doors were wide enough for her gigantic ass to get through them...

#17 Ditto TU. I anxiously await the day they depart the WH and we [hopefully] never hear from either of them again.

#18 All those masterpieces by dead white males need to come with a trigger warning.

#19 But charger, lots of those dead white male artists were GAY, which should make their art acceptable, right?

#20 First Cultural Commissar Michelle Obama,
Wanting the welcome for waifs to be warmer,
Invited them in with torch, sickle, and hammer
To serve as exhibits in her Wunderkammer.
