In a speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Tuesday night, former first lady Michelle Obama drew a sharp contrast between Donald Trump and his Democratic rival Kamala Harris. Obama said, “She understands that most of us will never be afforded the grace of failing forward. We will never benefit from the affirmative action of generational wealth.
” The former first lady also referred to a statement Trump recently made that immigrants are taking "Black jobs." Obama said, "Who's going to tell him that the job he's currently seeking might be one of those Black jobs?" Video Transcript Kamala has shown her allegiance to this nation, not by spewing anger and bitterness, but by living a life of service and always pushing the doors of opportunity open to others. She understands that most of us will never be afforded the grace of failing forward.
We will never benefit from the affirmative action of generational wealth. If we bankrupt a business or choke in a crisis, we don't get a 2nd 3rd or fourth chance. If things don't go our way, we don't have the luxury of whining or cheating others to get further ahead.
No, we don't get to change the rules. So we always win. If we see a mountain in front of us, we don't expect there to be an escalator waiting to take us to the top.
We know folks are gonna do everything they can to distort her truth. My husband and I sadly know a little something about this for years. Donald Trump did everything in his power to try to make people fear us.
See his, his limited narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hard work and highly educated successful people who happen to be black. Wait, I wanna know, I wanna know who's gonna tell him, who's gonna tell him that the job he's currently seeking might just be one of those black jobs..
