Michelle Obama Ticks Off Marine…So He Rips Her to Shreds in Must Read Letter

Tuesday, February 9, 2016 6:48

This is what happens when Michelle Obama ticks off a Marine so much that he decides to respond.

This letter is brutal and filled with hard truth…not to mention, it also echoes what so many of those who love our country feel about MO and BHO.

Mrs. Obama,
It sickens me that I have to take time to write you this letter. I am a Marine who doesn’t recognize color because every color has lived and died for you. You live in a free country to blame your life on the color of another man’s skin. All colors have given their lives for an educated woman to have the freedom to be so ignorant. I don’t blame black people for the ignorance that comes from your mouth.
I love all colors because I love all that God creates. I don’t have to like you to love you because we can’t always like the ones we love. Just because I don’t like you today doesn’t mean I can’t like you tomorrow. I don’t like you or your husband today because of what you’re doing to this country. Isn’t it funny how the truth always reveals itself in time. You and your husband never showed this side of yourselves in 2008 before he was elected.
You both live better than 99% of the people in this world because of this country. You said that you are for the first time proud to be an American. Well, I will tell you that most of us are ashamed of you. You and your husband have become millionaires off the people of this country, but demonstrate very little appreciation for all that we give. White, black, brown or indifferent millions have fought and died for you to have the freedom to say the ignorant things you say.
You are educated, but clearly have very little common sense. You blame past generations of Americans for the troubles of a few. Stop blaming white people for your misery and take a look at yourself in the mirror. We are responsible for our own happiness and misery. The KKK is ignorance wrapped in a sheet while the Black panthers are raised on ignorance and hate. No different from the teaching of Islam thinking their race is better than all other men.
God is love and creates every color to include everyone’s skin. To truly love God is to love all that He loves. For that I love each of you and pray that we all start taking responsibility for our own damned sins.
Martin Luther King had a dream that we would all live in the promise land. He is not remembered for being black. He is remembered for the love, and character he had within his heart. If you don’t like this country get on that plane and never come back. I will stay here and love all Americans, regardless of skin. I will love the beauty of what God created and stand tall with my American friends. Not because of their color but for the character and love they carry within. This country doesn’t owe you anymore than it owes me.
So many have thanked me for my service and I will always be grateful. I pray that one day you and your husband might cause me to be grateful for yours. You will never be remembered as the First Lady of Color but soon forgotten after you leave the White House. You nor your husband shall ever divide us. I wish you no harm, but pray you will take your troubles to a land you no longer hate. Hate shall come and go but His love shall last forever.

I have deep reservations that this drivel was penned by an active duty military person but if so he/ she isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer . The one part I found the most amusing was that MLK wasn't remembered primarily for being Black ! LMAO. Lol Wow

yea that part was funny.

i find it funny that Vambo is quick to point out some random marine who "rips" the obama's.

but i'm a vet, he never quote me being in support of the obama's.

guess he only likes the soldiers who agree with his opinions.

Sorry can't help myself .

The KKK is ignorance wrapped in a sheet while the Black panthers are raised on ignorance and hate. No different from the teaching of Islam thinking their race is better than all other men

KKK unarguably formed from racist hatred .
Black Panthers were formed for protection and for the betterment of a marginalized section of the countries citizens . What it became is a different story all together but the Panthers were anything other than ignorant .
Islam is a race ? Careful Mr. author your sheet is showing a little .

Historically service members like Republicans and why wouldn't they ? Dems usually mean a cut in funding . Don't bite the hand that feeds. I have wondered that with all the minorities and poor that fill the ranks in the military why there has never been a shift in that thinking .

i can't speak for past generations of military personnel, but i know the current generation of soldiers vote republican because they wanna deploy and make all that extra bread.

no wars = no way to ball out of control, where everyday down range is tax refund season.

people hate when i say it, but it's true. today, it's very little about patriotism and everything to do with mofo's trying to get out of debt.

especially officers, they want their units to deploy that way they can make Major, or LTC to finally make that Colonel rank.

you an LT? guaranteed to make the rank of captain as long as you don't screw anything up.

we was doing convoy security my third deployment, man this joke of an IED went off, didn't even do so much as blow a tire, barely scratched the pain job.

the 2LT made us sit there while he called for QRF and route clearance, so he can document the incident, because he was the only guy in the entire convoy without a CAB(combat action badge).

that being said, we get these stupid little pay increases that don't amount to much every year. also, when i joined, there were so many government contractors walking around, or doing things that the soldiers would typically do. the excuse was "they are here so we can focus on the mission of fighting terrorism".

oh really? so why is it that a truck driver working for KBR would pull figures a year down range, while being allowed to go home way more than soldiers, who barely cracked 50k down range depending on rank, with only 15-18 days of R&R? even though we was doing the exact same job?

the gravy train that is deployments, people don't wanna acknowledge that.

My facebook news feed is full of "non-racist christian anti-liberal" dribble like this... I'd hardly call it news or even news worthy.

I ain't buying this. What did she say or do to deserve this from anyone let alone a Marine.

Why is it unsigned,, No name?

OMG,, mine also. Anti everything. Social media is a wonderful thing that is being abused by a few as a means to an end.

it's unsigned because the marine wasn't suppose to be doing this in the first place, so of course there's not gonna be a name, because any service member doing this is subject to UCMJ action.

which brings up a question, did a marine really write this? or was it some loser posing as a marine in an attempt to try and have some credibility behind this letter?

I wonder why it took him 7+ years to be mad about something she said when her husband was elected in 2008? (IIRC, that was when she said something about it being the first time in her life she was proud to be an American.)

This "letter" has a chain email / urban legend feel to it - and I am no fan of the Obama administration.

I am certainly not a fan of President Obama but I remember getting quite a few e-mails in 2008 when he initially ran for the office. 2 that I can specifically remember regarded a lavish prison that he supposedly sponsored the spending bill with the state of Illinois. The prison was incredibly expensive looking and obviously the e-mail pointed out he was soft on crime and a big spender. It just looked wrong so I investigated a bit and found it the pictures were from a prison in Europe; Austria I think.

The other was a picture of President Obama in line with other dignitaries and he was the only one not saluting or having his hand over his heart or something like that. Supposedly it was because the Star Spangled Banner was playing and did not respect the flag etc. It turns out Hail to the Chief was playing and it would have been inappropriate for him.

IN both case I replied to all and suggested they research before they send out/forward untruths. In my opinion there was enough wrong with his ideas that I did not need manufactured issues out there.

I think this type of made up crap get traction both sides want the information to be true, no matter how ridiculous it is.

Really a sad commentary. Everyone knows their opinion is right and the other side is always wrong. I wish it were that simple.

Snopes


Claim: After being challenged by Michelle Obama, a former Marine wrote the First Lady a scathing letter.

MIXTURE

WHAT'S TRUE: Mike Shepard, a U,S. Marine, posted an open letter to Michelle Obama at the DC Gazette.

WHAT'S FALSE: Shepard's letter was written in response to a direct challenge from the First Lady.

Origin:On 17 December 2015, the web site Q Political posted an article titled "When Michelle Obama Challenged a Marine, His Response Was Brutally Honest." With the exception of a few added brief sentences, a misleading photograph, and baseless claim that Michelle Obama "challenged" a Marine, the Q Political article was simply a verbatim copy of an opinion piece penned by Marine Mike Shepard and posted on 30 May 2015 to the DC Gazette (a clickbait web site that, among other things, posts fake news items as if they were real news). That piece began as follows:

Mrs. Obama

It sickens me that I have to take time to write you this letter. I am a Marine who doesn't recognize color because every color has lived and died for you. You live in a free country to blame your life on the color of another man's skin. All colors have given their lives for an educated woman to have the freedom to be so ignorant. I don't blame black people for the ignorance that comes from your mouth. I love all colors because I love all that God creates. I don't have to like you to love you because we can't always like the ones we love. Just because I don't like you today doesn't mean I can't like you tomorrow. I don't like you or your husband today because of what you're doing to this country. Isn't it funny how the truth always reveals itself in time. You and your husband never showed this side of yourselves in 2008 before he was elected.

Shepard writes in his DC Gazette biography that he served in the U.S. Marines for 9 years:

After graduating high school I served nine years in the Marines. My loyalty is to God, country, family in that order. I am not your typical writer. I am just a Marine with an opinion. What I write is my opinion and not persuaded by anyone else.

While Q Political did not mention Shepard's race, the photograph included with their article suggested that he was African-American:
marine and obama

However, a YouTube clip of a radio interview with Shepard showed him to be white:

Shepard's letter to Michelle Obama has been republished by several conservative outlets under a variety of misleading and sensationalized titles, such as "When Michelle Obama Challenged a Marine, His Response Was Brutally Honest," "Michelle Obama FURIOUS After U.S. Marine Sends Her THIS Letter," and "Epic Letter from Marine Humiliates Michelle Obama." However, there is no evidence that Shepard actually mailed the letter to the White House, that Michelle Obama ever read the letter, or that her reaction to it was anger and/or humiliation.

It's also false to say that the letter was written in response to a direct challenge from Michelle Obama. Shepard penned his letter to the First Lady a few weeks after she delivered a commencement speech at Tuskagee University. While Michelle Obama's speech touched on race relations in the United States, she did not issue any sort of "challenge" to the military in general or to Marines in specific.

"21 things obama doesn't want you to know!!! just click here!!!"

So, it's essentially political HACKERY..LOL I just made that word up,,, I'm BRILLIANT

Bro it's just par for the course... like with Chris Rock or Bill Cosby or some other prominent black person would be critical of the black community, folks would run with it... or when one of Bush's appointees, who liberals all hated, would say something critical of Bush, liberals would run with it...

Everybody likes to see their opinions validated but when that validation comes from somebody who you would expect to be on the other side.. that's like red meat.

Lol, I still enjoyed reading it nevertheless.

j/c:

Wait a minute? Am I wrong or did an actual retired Marine write this? If so, why all the negative remarks about it being fake?

Michelle, ma belle
Sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble

Because they don't agree with it.

here's a more fleshed-out rendering of the whole affair:
http://www.snopes.com/marines-letter-michelle-obama/


Snopes is our friend.

My doubt was that it was written by an active duty serviceman and my point that the man is ignorant and judging from his words a borderline racist .

I am not saying I agree w/the message. I am not saying he is intelligent. I was responding to posts like this one:

because it was a viable question.

until those guys posted it, it was a letter written by some unknown person.

it literally could've been anybody.

on top of that, it's against the UCMJ to make political statements while being an active soldier, as the title nor article posted by Vambo suggested the marine was retired.

and amongst everything else, MY experiences are different, so i have every right to question the dude. he knows very little as to why the black panthers were created in the first place, or that statement wouldn't had come flying out of his mouth.

and MLK is also remembered for being black, as well as all of his accomplishments, as it's the VERY thing the civil rights movement was ABOUT!! blacks being treated equal.

so i responded to the original article posted by Vambo.

I think your response was created because you did not agree w/the message and you were trying to discredit the guy.

Extremists on both sides of any argument are not in search of the truth. Instead, they are in search of validating their own biased opinions. I'm not really calling you out, Swish. This tactic is used by so many. And it is not just on this board; it's everywhere.

People spend more time championing their opinions rather than seeking the truth. Consider some of these topics:

--Religion

--Liberal vs Conservative politics

--Gun control

--Race

There are extremists on both sides of all of those topics. Think about it......can you predict what many posters are going to say about those topics before you even read their post?

I just think that the conversations would be fruitful if people went into the topic wanting to absorb the information presented so they could learn rather than force-feed their opinions so they can win an argument.

A person can't walk through an open door w/a closed mind.

And I'm just simply telling you you're wrong.

On a personal level, I could less about what some jar head has to say, as it doesn't effect my life in anyway.

But you need to understand, I was a former NCO. One of the things I had to make sure my soldiers weren't doing was posting dumbass political statements, as there's senrior enlisted and officers who have nothing better to do with their time then search social media for soldiers making political statements.

It's in violation of UCMJ, and soldiers absolutely get article 15's for that. It sucks, and I have saved my soldiers for that crap quite a few times.

Had this guy in 2008 say "F bush" on MySpace, and he got got. You can NOT say that about a current commander in chief.

You're a teacher, or use to be. You said you left the profession, but I bet you still have those urges to save students from making dumbass decisions.

So when I see the title of the article, and then read the article, and there's no mention that the guy is out of the military, it worries me, because I don't want my brothers losing money over something stupid.

As far as his actual comments, I could care less.

Okay.

And the irony continues because a decade ago, when a retired or former military person would write something blasting Bush, the left would rush to it like a broken pinata with candy flying out...

As usual, it has less to do with the accuracy or authenticity of the letter and much more to do with the how much you want to defend the person being criticized.

Yes, he used his right of free speech to voice his feelings and it does seem "Borderline racist.

This happened near me and there is nothing "Borderline" about it...

Decorated Marine attacked by group of teens outside McDonald's in D.C.

WASHINGTON — A decorated war veteran is recovering after a brutal attack Friday night. He says it happened at a McDonald's on 911 E St., N.W., D.C.

Chris Marquez says a group of rowdy teens came up and started taunting him.

"They asked me if I believe that black lives matter," Marquez said. "I felt threatened and thought they were trying to intimidate me, so I figured I'm just going to keep to my food, eat my food, and hopefully they'll leave me alone. And because I wasn't respond back to them, they were calling me a racist."

Marquez says he doesn't remember much about what happened next, but says the manager told him the group followed him outside.

"As soon as I walked out of the McDonald's I got hit in the back of the head,or the side of the head. I just dropped to the ground, and he says I looked unconscious," Marquez said.

He suffered head and neck injuries along with multiple bumps and bruises.

"Kinda brought back memories of the war and stuff," Marquez said.

Marquez is a decorated Marine and eight year veteran of the Iraq War.

He shared a picture with us that showed him help rescue a fellow Marine during the Battle of Fallujah. That photo was the inspiration for the "No Man Left Behind" sculpture at two Marine bases.

Now he is battling back after a vicious attack, at a place he thought he'd be safe.

"My head really hurts. I get this sharp pain, straight down my face, and I haven't really slept too well at all since it happened," Marquez said. "I just want them to get caught, especially if they're doing this to other people."

The teens also robbed him of his wallet and credit cards. Marquez says they used the cards right after the attack.

He is hoping that will help police catch the suspects.

I said this earlier, but it seems to fit w/your post, Christian.

All well and fine until you get your head caved in by a group of violent Racists. Brings a whole new meaning to having an open mind.

The KKK was beloved in the early days by frightened Whites but soon they turned violent and disgusted their base. That was the beginning of their end.

I find these violent incidences of Racism to be completely unacceptable and detrimental to the cause of ending Racism.
They only add fuel to the fire. A fire that burns hotter each day.

That's a shame. I used to work in that neighborhood in DC, it's actually a pretty nice part of town. And that McDonalds is literally right across the street from the FBI headquarters.

I'm sure there are good people within the BLM movement who want honest, positive change... it's a shame thugs like this are co-opting their message and casting long shadows on the whole thing.

Well, whoever is running the BLM needs to be condemning the actions.

One reason MLK was so successful is that he convinced the people to not fight back, no matter one. The world got to see who the real animals were.

Today, nobody is gonna pay attention to what the cops do. If we retaliate, that's what's gonna be reported.

People are allowed to be angry, if their republicans. However, being black and angry is just pulling the race card in the eyes of American society.

But if playing the game is the only way people will listen to us, then we need to play the game.

My thought, after reading that, is that there was a group of thugs who wanted to harass people, and were looking for someone to rob, and the rest was just blabbering about something they heard.

I can't recall BLM ever calling for Black people to attack and rob anyone. One concern I do have is that this is another idea that all too quickly becomes divisive.

I'm pretty sure that what the cops do is pretty big news.. and not just because black people riot.


As it should. Cops are dying. Not just the cops who do bad things, other cops, good cops, any cop... If black folks don't want to judged by the lowest common denominator within the race, then you are correct, they must speak out against actions like this... likewise, if cops don't want to be judged by the lowest common denominator of their profession, then they also must speak out, take action, and hold the bad ones accountable rather than protecting them... There is no room for "Well we will change if they change first..." Things just need to change.


If by playing "playing the game" you are referring to incidences like this or killing cops, then I will just let you know.. it's not causing people to listen to you, it's causing people to further distrust you, blame you, and be more understanding when a black kid is shot in the street.. after all, he could have been one of these kids who thinks this is a game.

I mean playing the game as in "yes massah", because that's the only way you guys listen anyway.

And it is how it works. Yes, it is a "we won't change unless you change first".

Y'all complain about everything we do. The way our names are pronounced, our dressing style, how we talk, hell, simply existing.

If we ain't acting like Samuel l Jackson in django unchained, y'all view us as a threat.

I think you are greatly exaggerating...


This is totally incorrect.


Then nothing will change.


Nope. There are professional standards out there... hate it if you want, but those standards were developed over many decades, largely by white men... they are generally accepted as professional standards in the way a person dresses, speaks, etc. in a professional setting. If you opt to wear dreds, have your pants down over your arse, have a giant neck tattoo, and speak in slang... you will have a very hard time getting a professional person to take you seriously, thus making it much harder for you to find a quality job and progress up the corporate ladder. If you equate dressing decently and speaking decently with saying "Yes Massah" then there isn't much I can tell you.

It's no different than playing sports, if you want to play sports, there are rules, you didn't get to make them, they just exist and if you don't follow them, you will get fouls, penalties, ejections, etc... Well business has rules too, they aren't official and they vary based on company, corporate culture, position, etc... but most professionals have a general understanding of what they are... so if you want to be more competitive in business, learn the rules and follow the rules within reason... it's really not that hard... a lot of black people have become very successful within those rules and without losing who they are as a person..

It's not incorrect, it's how I view this country.

Your whole response read to me "hey, we screwed your lives up, but now you need to walk in step with us, or we will continue to screw your lives up".

You just swapped physical enslavement with a mental one.

And as a person included in the "because that's the only way you guys listen anyway." I'm telling you that's not the way "us guys" listen...


The same rules apply to me bruh.. if I wore my pants around my knees, had neck tattoos, and used slang, I wouldn't have a chance in the corporate world either... and it's not just this country.. there are differences but there are generally accepted standards for professional business people all over the world.... you can fight it if you want to.
