I wonder if FLOTUS could take "ethnic identification" lessons from Rachel Dolezal.
Michelle Obama is currently on a whirlwind European tour (on the taxpayer dime, of course) and she's currently on the London portion of her trip. And take a wild guess what she chose to spend her time doing while in London.
If you guessed "Speak to a school for Muslim girls in a super-radicalized Islamic neighborhood," you would be 100% correct!
According to this, Michelle Obama spent part of her time in London yesterday speaking to a group of female students in a predominantly Muslim school in a predominantly Muslim neighborhood. And she called the area "diverse" and praised the people there for their "diversity." Even though the area, called Tower Hamlets, is a well-known hotbed of Islamist extremism and anti-Israel sentiment. BUT NO BIGGIE! 'Cause FLOTUS told the girls that she can TOTES RELATE to their story –
“When I look out at all these young women, I see myself. In so many ways your story is my story,” she told the room full of hijab-wearing girls. “I know I don’t look [older than you all]”, she crowed. And then went on to praise the local area, which is known for being a hot bed of Islamist activity and sympathy.She described Tower Hamlets as a place where “families are tight knit… with strong values”. Perhaps this is true. There has certainly been evidence of a very “tightly knit” cabal attempting to rule Tower Hamlets. And there are certainly strong values too. Almost half of Britain’s 1300 cases of Female Genital Mutilation last year were from London. No prizes for guess which areas these emanate from.
Yeah, let me reiterate that last part – Tower Hamlets is such a close-knit Muslim community that they actually had to have a special conference in the area where health officials worked to promote an end to female genital mutilation. And it's not like this is in Pakistan or Iran or Saudi Arabia. This is in FREAKING LONDON. Great Britain. A (supposedly) center for western civilization (though, admittedly, not so much anymore).
So – yay. Michelle Obama identifies with girls living in Islamist neighborhoods dripping with radical ties. She certainly doesn't identify with anyone in any American neighborhoods, that's for sure.
