NOT! Let me explain something to you. Calling out racism for what it is and what it does isn't immature, it's courageous. Speaking the truth about our culture isn't immature. It's courageous. You acknowledge that racism is inherent in our society, so why shouldn't she speak out against it? Is she supposed to just be a good little black girl live with it so you can continue to live your life of privilege without guilt? If her words hit a little too close to home for you, maybe you need to look at why. Awww…look…my first troll…isn’t it sweet?

Not all of us appreciate her and there is no law saying that we need to appreciate her. Hearing someone say "scratch his eyes out, for the first time I'm proud of my country, America is mean, Hillary wasn't watching the house, They(meaning whites) raised the bar on me, etc.on and on etc. shows a basic immaturity and inability to deal with the racism that exists in all communities in the United States. It shows that some serious maturity is needed and some introspective work on some serious inner issues would certainly help. You are certainly free to express your slobbering love for Michelle Obama but don't expect all Americans to feel the way you feel.
