According to Tammy Bruce, former guest host on the Laura Ingraham show, Michelle Obama is "trash" living in the White House.
After a conversation shared between Obama and school children about her childhood, and her ambition to do well in school, Bruce decided to publicly criticize the First Lady in unnecessary fashion.
She mocks Obama's speech to the children about kids teasing her about her "white-girl voice" and being able to strive for an A in the classroom. Bruce acted in shock, and dismay as she provided commentary over Obama's speech.
Bruce, who has been in the trouble in the past for her comments, will most likely face consequences for her words. She had made rude and unnecesary comments about Camille Cosby in 1998, insisting she needed some sort of therapy after Cosby had released a racist remark said by her late son's killer.
The station she had been working with had fired her immediately after releasing an apology to the Cosby family.
I think it's sad to see people so immature and nasty in the media. People like Michelle Obama are trying to make things better for children, as well as adults, by sharing information about her own past. I think it was wrong of Bruce to call her trash and insist she uses her advantages in her marriage to gain power.
I hope she gets a harsher treatment, for she is out of control with her words, clearly. Freedom of speech is one thing, but to continuously bash people, that has got to stop. What kind of message does it send to future radio hosts or news correspondents?

I agree Stephenie. Freedom of Speech is one thing but it has to stop. We need to draw the line in regards to what is acceptable in freedom of speech. People abuse this right all the time and this case is no exception. It sends a bad message to future radio hosts and news correspondents. Not only is this bad but it just goes to show us that some people are still racist in this country and it takes someone like her just to prove a point, albeit a bad point. I feel bad for Cosby and her family. Great post.
ReplyDeleteWhen will certain people of this world learn to get along and love one another. This is just another racist doing what they do best. If you don't have anything good to say about someone, just don't say anything. When people like Bruce, say things like that the first thing they want to say is oh I did not mean that. Well yes you did, because you said it. Today, africian americans are not putting up with that type of mess.
ReplyDeleteHere you have Michelle Obama, trying to make a difference with children, and all Bruce wants to do is criticize her. Young people today need someone who cares, especial africian american children.
People like that should not be allowed to be on radio or television. Hopefully, she will be reprimanded for her actions.
Wow, well, I clicked on the link and listened to the video, and I completely see where your coming from.
ReplyDeleteI don't necessarily see the relevance, in terms of Michelle Obama bringing up how she was teased about talking like a "white girl." We were all teased about something as children. Maybe it would seem more clear had I heard the entire speech Mrs. Obama made. However, such is not the case.
Based on what I did hear, I agree with you. I don't understand how a high pitched shrieking woman (Bruce) commenting on the first lady contributes to today's economic crisis or educational circumstances (or lack-there-of).
I'll end this comment with the old age saying, "If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all."
It is despicable how people will take any opportunity to insult someone because of political connections.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you that Bruce needs to be taken off the air. However, this needs to be done in a free market environment where the listeners begin boycotting her shows until no station will give her a show. Freedom of speech is vital to our country's survival because if we make exceptions in one case than what stops it from spreading to another case. If we stop Bruce from going on the air because of her blatant bigotry, then it wouldn't be too long until the government can stop people from speaking out against certain political views (such as gun rights, abortion rights, gay rights, etc.). Bruce needs to be shut down by us, the public, not by the government.
