The Obamas are used to this and will press on. I'm happy that she can delay the leaving home moment and enjoy the time with her family. It just kills me that people have such hatred for such a gracious and hardworking family.
Hardworking, yes. Gracious, I don't see it, they have made racial relations worse than they have ever been -- even my Latino and Asian friends talk about our "Deporter-in-Chief" in very surprising terms.
This can't be real.Yes, the Obamas, a black family made racial relations worse. Yup, worse they they have ever been. Worse than when black people were treated as property and not humans. Yup! The Obamas did that.
Yep, it can't be real that a black President with a community organizer background and an immigrant father has deported more people and broken more families than any other President in modern history....but, black or not, that's exactly what he has done, and his main legacy in the minds of millions of (perfectly legal, thank you) immigrants.
My folks weren't here 200 years ago so I can't compare then with now, but I can say that many non-black minorities see racial relations now the worse they have been in several decades, and President Obama has played a significant role in it.
Why didn't you all rally behind the Hispanic presidential candidates, Cruz and Rubio? They would have clearly made things better.
And why would a biracial Asian & Latino independent rally behind Cruz or Rubio? Perhaps you need to get out a bit more and learn about the 15 million Asians and 55 million Latinos in the US. We care about issues, not race.
But you definitely don't care nor respect the immigration laws of this land. Other than ignoring immigration laws, what other laws would you like ignored?

If you think race relations are bad today in America (de facto) can you imagine what the race relations were like in the holocaust days of lynching, raping, and murder codified and protected under US law and statutes (de jure)?

My point, in case you missed it, is that there are more than a few points of view in the Hispanic and Latino populations about the subject of immigration.
My point, in case you missed it, is that your smarty pants suggestion has nothing to do with the substance of what we are discussing.

I do not think that race relations are "worse" than they have ever been. People seem to be forgetting the period of time between the 1870's and the 1960's.
However, if you ask minorities whether race relations have gotten worse over the last 8 years, most of them will say yes. BUT not because of anything that POTUS has done or said. It is because many folks did not want a minority as POTUS in the first place and have struggled to accept it. Criticism of the POTUS gives these people a cover to publicly express their prejudices. In some ways, America was ready for a minority POTUS but in many ways it was not. His election forced many people to admit that they were not ready and forced their hand on what they really feel about minorities. POTUS was dead on - people's reaction to him has created the perfect storm for Trump. If HRC wins, I expect more of the same - except with sexism.
Well said. All of it.

Very powerful and connected people can get their kids in pretty much wherever they want. That is nothing new.
Whether she "deserves" to go to Harvard or not, the people who wrote some of that terrible stuff on Fox's blog should really refrain. Very racist stuff about "apes" and the likes. Unbelievable someone would do that in the 21st century.
