The high rates of Black men in prisons, economic disparity and lack of access to quality health care were among the examples Obama pointed to.
Obama also discussed the attitudes some Americans had about the country inaugurating its first Black president when her husband Barak Obama was elected in 2008. "The reaction to it on all sides, the vast discomfort with the notion that a Black man could be sitting in the highest level of office, we saw that. We saw the signs, we saw the nooses,"she said.Reflecting on the pandemic, Obama also discussed the issue of people who refuse to wear masks, calling their actions"frustrating."
"There’s almost like there’s a limit to our sacrifice and it was about a month and then we just got tired of the virus," she said."That’s been disheartening to see so many people who have grown tired of staying at home because the virus didn’t impact them."The country needs to think more about essential workers, many of whom are financially unstable and lack health insurance and greater risks of falling ill, she said.
In the episode, Obama speaks with Washington Post opinion columnist and friend Michele Norris about the rise in protests over racial injustice since the death ofAmid all the challenges facing the country, Obama said she's managing the"emotional highs and lows" by trying to maintain a routine, trying to not be hard on herself, getting outdoors and spending time with her family.
racial inequality? What ever happened to self responsibility?
Ahh,too bad,so sad
Michelle Obama, crying into her 700 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets, alone in her sumptuous Washington DC mansion. My heart goes out to her.
MAYBE SHE NEEDS TO CHANGE HER PARTY IF SHES WORRIED ABOUT THAT🤷🏻♂️PROVEN HISTORY
Don't we all. Please emphasize some positive thoughts and how to maintain stability during this pandemic.
She is the media darling. She’s a racist.
She should with her husband being the most corrupt president in the history of the United States.
As soon as she starts taking I get low grade depression
She’s full white peoples put them in WH Dems cheated Black people have been immigrating for decades in USA
Tucking yourself can also cause low grade depression
Me too ....it’s sad😢😢😢
Same feeling I had when she and her husband was living in the White House.
Who exactly isn’t equal?
Take two, see a psychiatrist in the morning.
Life is rough
Who cares! How is this really news
Book sales must be in a slump and can’t round up enough people to make a speaking event worth it monetarily.
She’s a weak minded anti American facts loser. Is anyone surprised? Weak emotional people cry when they lose
That moodiness you get when your black America-hating racism is no longer looked upon as 'social justice', and instead people are beginning to see you for the toxic, privileged racist you really are.
Everybody suffered from depression when her husband was in the White House.
Lol what in the world is she talking about. A previous First Lady with her choice of mansion to live in.
Everyone is suffering. Many don't have the financial where with all to weather this China virus and the riots and job loss. The democrats continue to divide people while they push hate and promote attacks on police with their Antifa and BLM 'stormtroopers'.
Poor baby
She knows how country felt when her husband got elected not once but two times. That produced a low grade depression for the whole world.
Sorry Michelle, not ever African American that commits a crime is falsely accused
I’m sure you guys can find a way to blame this on President Trump. Don’t let me down.
Her and her husband should have done something about that racial 'inequality' when they were in office. .
OBAMAGATE
Most us are! Trump’s Virus is the culprit.
Who cares what she thinks? 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Maybe Democrats should stop CAUSING racial inequality before they start complaining about how upset they are about it. 🙄 Democrats control virtually every public office at the city and local level where the vast majority of black people live. To blame anyone else is immoral.
No one could give a crap
Michelle is a strong democrat woman - Given the fact that the Democrat Party is attempting to pass off the feeble Joe Biden, who is confined to his basement, as a capable standard bearer for being POTUS would have most suffering from a 'very high-grade depression'.
Weak. Not what the country needs.
And who cares!!
It is a tough time for many Americans and kudos to Michelle for speaking out about it!
Slow Clap....
Does anyone really listen to this person?
So she hasn’t been diagnosed she just wants to play the victim? Got it
Did she say this from her Martha's vineyard mansion?
Welcome to how we felt when your husband was president for 8 years. . . suck it up
When all else fails... play the sympathy care...lol. WEAK!!!
This is racism that the MSM and Democrats ignore.
Wow... many veterans and Americans who suffer from ptsd and depression suffered under her husbands leadership but found the strength to make it through, yet now she is crying with her lavish lifestyle she lives while we fit the bill. wow... smh.
Maybe the clouds are just out today over her massive coastal* estate. *immune from all that rising seas stuff everyone has to be careful of
She’s so angry
Obama is a racist
Shut up.
Me too
Black Fragility
She should go see her pysco doc more often.
I'm thinking 'big Mike' is experiencing ED, that's causing his depression.
Its amazing how a black women from the south side of Chicago could never make it big in America. Oh wait, she did? What? I thought? Oh she's realized the American dream and now has depression.... 👌
Hiw many millions is she worth? How many jobs has she had exactly? But yeah, white privilege.
Who cares
aaaww, poor you! Maybe you should just go hang out at your 12 million dollar mansion on a 30 acre spread of land overlooking the ocean (guess no “climate change” fears lol)on Martha’s Vineyard and have a pity party, you ungrateful person!
Professional victim.
Not getting any unemployment and having to continue to homeschool the kids and not work a well paying job sent me into a mental breakdown. I am usually more sensitive, but take some Prozac and stfu. 🤷♀️
Big Mike is a piece of 💩
So sorry.
Mike - please cite all these instances of inequality you've seen. Or is it that mythical systemic racism to which you refer?
I’m not a doctor but i play one on TV... but it’s very probable her condition is from Obamagate! Yes ladies and gentlemen ObamaGateIsReal and michelle is feeling the effects of the sham and lies being exposed!
Or guilty conscience?
LOL
I'm playing the smallest violin for her.
It's called repression from hiding her true sex...
Her balls itch.
So much inequality...LA mansion, Lamborghini...so 'oppressed'. Black people need white people to feel more guilty so blacks can sleep well at night. Obama is depressed because Biden has dementia! BidenHasDementia BullshitLiesMedia BLMDomesticTerrorists
Probably more to do with ObaMAGAate
I have high grade because I'm sick of white supremacy
She should take some pills and down it with some vodka. That always helps!
Fortunately for me, even though I haven’t worked in about 6 months, with no return date in sight, I can rest easy with all of my white money I’ve been given due to the color of my skin. I feel bad for those with less fortunate pigment
Racial inequality which elected Obama. Food for thoughts.
The great depression is upon us.
The level of retardation in this is absolutely astounding. 🤣
What's racial inequality?
Her privelage allowed her to feel secure longer than us. Now she's in line with the rest of the world but we know her depression isn't about Covid, it's about Obamagate
Nobody gives a crap about what she thinks...js
So depressed she announces it to the world? shutup That's not how depression works
Racist much, Big Mike?
Sorry to hear that Michelle... personally, I’ve been feeling fantastic knowing that you and your corrupt husband aren’t in power anymore since both of you are closet marxists... but you know, different strokes for different folks!!!
Poor poor baby
Her sndboprah. Rich whiney bitches
The country (and the taxpayers) she complains about (racial inequality) has made her incredibly wealthy. Enough said.
Just listening to Michelle Obama depresses me..she, as well as her husband had every opportunity to unite this country and help the low income black communities but all either of them did was to racially divide this country..and they didn't do a thing to help black communities..
the only first lady to hate this country and what it stands for. The only one to hate white people, With her homes she has the choice of witch one to stay in. She should have a pity party with Oprah they can cry together, There is no racial inequality with the virus
Poor victim
id be depressed too if i looked like her in the mirror!
He is NO lady.
hopefully he does himself in
Are you F_ing kidding me. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 TDS LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder ObamaGate ObamaGateIsReal
Boo hoo hoo . I’m depressed just thinking about what the obama admin put us through.
😂😅🤣
It’s Michael Obama...not Michelle
MichelleObama 🤣😂
I would definitely feel depressed if a $100,000 yearly salary got me this.
I think many of us living thru this pandemic and the realization that racism is truly alive and always has been in the US and watching the abuse of the police and the overstepping of government and just plain stupidity in so many ways are feeling depression to some degree!! Sad!
We all do!!!!
Who really cares
Seriously, your husband was in office 8 years, what did he do to prepare this country for a pandemic? Everybody is depressed right now, get over yourself!
Unfortunately it’s more widespread than she thinks, quite a few people are in accordance.
Girl, we feel you.
That’s on her
What did Sally Yates have to say or is NBC not going to report on that?
:( POOR RICH PEOPLE have it SO BAD !!!!!!!!
The only thing Trump has done for you is allowed you to publicly voice your hatred while he gets richer with your money. Wise up
I totally agree with the First Lady. The pandemic is also taxing. Then there's the disgusting and despicable lies & actions of Trump and his trumpers that are also very depressing to watch.
That is very understandable, who doesn't feel that way?😔🙏🙏❤️❤️🕊️
It’s another BLM stunt to get voters
Join da club sister
LOVE LOVE LOVE HER! Miss you, LOTS, Michelle Obama
Its going to get a lot worse I smell TREASON in the air Mike.
The Obama administration was very depressing. For a time they had control of all 3 chambers of power, and they did so little !
Nothing more than good words and fair speeches deceiving the hearts of the simple.
1929 Depression is something we read about, this is history. 2020 Depression is something that we're currently living, this is our story. I have been depressed too. Thank God, I speak my mind; I expressed my feelings. I am able to chase away anything that's negative or fleeing.
We are all right there with you!
Poor her. She has no much to worry about
She’s just like us!
Look, I don’t care what kind of depression her delusions give her. She’s a terrible person and probably a man.
She’s not alone. This year has been a complete shit show.
She's still depressed from losing her White House slaves...mmm...servants.
The balls on this guy
Well her husbands 8 yrs made me feel the same way
Mrs. Obama, that breaks my heart that it does that to you, but believe me i totally understand. Wish i could talk to you and this limits me. You are feeling that way because you know if if your husband was in office, you both would have done everything humanly possible to cont
Remember when news had to fact check their stories and didn’t report stupid shit like this? Now we are reporting people’s self diagnoses? WTF?!!!
Too bad.
When they go low we go high. Her racial inequality must be hurting book sales, speaking engagements, fleecing of America?
Thank you MichelleObama for addressing this.
This is a man.
Her made up depression?
It took nearly 4 years, but my full-blown depression during Obama’s time in office has deminished into a “low-grade depression.”
Most privileged woman says what?
Boo hoo Michelle. Go cry it out at your mansion in Martha’s Vineyard . All you rich Democrat’s of color need to stop the racist division. Help people of all color less fortunate than you with your voice and your money.
Stop trying to divide the country. You did more than enough of that when your traitor of a husband was in office. Stop this political bullshit. History will show the most corrupt administration was your husbands. You can't hide the truth forever.
We ALL do now! 😭 DumpTrump2020
OMG..is she kidding!!!
I don’t care how he feels. Never did.
She should remain in depression.
Marxism does not work The Obama administration had eight years to help all American citizens and they failed us miserably
There will continue to be racial inequality when a racist, Marxist organization has us glorifying a criminal drug user over the police.
La bonne blague. 8 ans président, qu'a fait son mari pour réduire la fracture?
Who doesn’t?!!
MICHELLE KNOWS ABOUT ALL OF BARAKS CORRUPTION AND IF HE GOES DOWN SO DOES SHE. ALL SHE EVER DID WAS DANCE ON ELLEN AND MAKE CRAP LUNCHES
We had to suffer from 8 yrs of the First Mulatto President and the the first Vice President Pedophile so am glad Micheal is “suffering” living in their multi million dollar mansion. Maybe she can eat some of her own lunch meals she made kids “suffer” from
That's the idea Michelle and it is what the left is doing. Shut down the country, start a race riot, get us all fighting each other so they can take power. Its pretty transparent to most thinking people.
Bullshit. She's trying to stir shit up again. Americans are over the bullshit blah blah blah coming from the Obamas
Mrs. First Lady, I know how you feel. I have been depressed since November 2016. I hope that will change this November.
Wow Michelle. Here you stand - you and your husband as walking, talking proof that “racial inequality” is a sham - claiming that “racial inequality” has you depressed. You’ve got balls, lady. I’ll give you that.
Does it exist as concept?
We’re all there this year...
Who doesn’t?
I will fix it for you Former man Micheal Obama says whitey makes her sad and the challenge of my corrupt husbands time as president is about to be found out and it makes me sad and trump makes me 😭
you covered this and not a second of SallyQYates testimony that the DOJ/FBI completely botched the whole Russia Investigation. NBC, ABC CBSNews covered nothing. It shows the Main Stream Media is now accomplices in the attempted COUP by the Obama Administration. FoxNews
Sally yates
She should.
The high price tag of cost and not being an 100 % rating of perfection, globalism makes me feel like I might be experiencing low grade depression!
😂😂😂
I bet living in a multi million dollar home will ease the pain
I know how you can get out of your funk...throw your name into the hat for VP
She's a brave woman, and we feel the pain with her. I think many of us have had a form of low grade depression since 2016 BlueTsunami2020
I totally understand what she means.
It is overwhelming for us all. No matter where we are in life. She is a highly educated, intelligent and compassionate person. She and her husband actually care about us...still. It’s a wonder why after all that’s happened. I hope she regains herself soon.
Most of us do...thanks for speaking out Michelle
Her husband and herself literally did nothing for racial inequality
Really, this is news!!!!
I’m also expressing low grade depression. Our country is in chaos because of a lying, cruel, incompetent, undisciplined, irrational POTUS. He’s in charge of keeping America safe and he has failed. Even sleeping at night is difficult because of Trump.
Please, spare us this victimhood bullshit from this multi millionaire.
We all do!
Maybe if she works harder in school? I got that in HS too.
Moochelle is just sad she lost her government paid luxury vacations.
What she is referring to is called sadness. Depression is a real mental illness and it SUCKS. Show some respect.
You are not alone!
Depression is a real mental illness, and it SUCKS. She should not be making a mockery of it to push her agenda.
Wife of the former duly-elected President depressed about racial inequality.
Everyone should have some form of low grade depression at this point. Have you seen what's going on in the world?
It is all very sad when you thinking six very short months how many people have died in this world have a horrible disease a lot of times alone it’s very sad
Next book revenues might boost your mood up...
Me too. 😔
Maybe cuz her husband is going to jail soon
Being married to the first president that wants to have a world After America ? May do that !!
only the super rich get on TV to sell there books
Her husband was the president for 8 years why in hell didn't fix it
Its contagious.
She’s so brave. 🙄🙄
LMAOO what is low grade depression ? She’s got money she’s good
but still she is smart👌
If she said this pre pandemic it be fully clear.But during a pandemic pretty sure we all are. Everything’s been taken away from us.being inside and seeing nothing positive about him and having to hear about him during sports is wack. you don’t hear the positive on him ever
If you aren’t fighting at least a little depression during this pandemic, you are in denial. Thanks to former First Lady Michelle Obama for speaking up.
That poor Slave Descendant !! LMFAO !!! Just GO AWAY!!
Me too!!
Interesting how it’s always the same shameful bunch who refers to OUR FIRST LADY as a male...a wife, a MOTHER, a graceful lady in every way imaginable, one who is leagues above the current mail order bride occupying the White House...but it’s not her race and y’all aren’t racist!
I think the majority of us that care about this country have it in some form or another. I know I do!
That's because she is low-grade..... called her husband the N-word on her podcast.... you cant take the ghetto out no matter what... If democrats could remove the rules of english language and replace it with ebonics, they would...
Trump about to sign exec order to PREVENT EVICTIONS he gave working class Americans financial protection through this crisis NOT PLATITUDES ....SECOND TERM
I will pray for you Mrs. Obama
Michelle better focus on her recipes now. She won’t have time for it once she gets picked as a VP.
Not just her...we’re all suffering from some sort of depression.
No one gives a shit. She’ll really be bummed when they close the cell door.
Some form You know it's bullshit LMAO how pathetic
I am sure many of US do. I think, therefore I am sepressed? REALITYmatters ClimateChange matters. Trump knows a USAF veteran is in prison for informing US Russia attacked/hacked into our elections. Welcome to WTFcksville
Well, then think of all the people who suffer from depression/ptsd because your husband bombed all their families to death in the middle east.
Ms. Obama you are not alone —don’t forget the root cause (hint:DJT). We shall (all) overcome ...someday .
I don’t think she should have said that ... I liked when she was only taking the high road .. that itself is a cure against getting depressed ...
She is a menace to society and a 'false prophet'. BEWARE: a wolf in sheep's designer clothing
Yes, I agree, Michelle Obama is depressing!
MichelleObama You are not alone.
I have high-grade depression. No amount of meditation and avoiding the news helps. My antidepressant dosage keeps going up and up and up...
So this is confirmation that COVID-19 is racist. I had a feeling.
Imagine how much better off we'd be today if there were no transatlantic slave trade back then. Curse those slave traders for creating such huge problems
Same. Seriously though, blame Trump and the corruption in the Republican party. We would not be in this position if Republicans in Congress had tried at any point to hold Trump accountable for anything, ever.
Boo fucking woo good grief
His votes got lost......
Low testosterone.
