Michelle Obama Whining Again About How Whites Avoid and Ignore Her
She does live in the richest of white liberal areas, so maybe those racists do view her as New Money.

Former first lady Michelle Obama said on her podcast Thursday that “white America” acts like black women — including herself — don’t exist.
“When I’ve been completely incognito, during the eight years in the White House, walking the dogs on the canal, people will come up and pet my dogs, but will not look me in the eye. They don’t know it’s me,” the former first lady said in “The Michelle Obama Podcast.”
“What white folks don’t understand, it’s like that is so telling of how white America views people who are not like them. You know, we don’t exist. And when we do exist, we exist as a threat. And that, that’s exhausting,” Obama continued.(snip)
“We were stopping to get ice cream, and I had told the Secret Service to stand back because we were trying to be normal, trying to go in,” Obama said.
“When I’m just a black woman, I notice that white people don’t even see me. … I’m standing there with two little black girls, another black female adult, they’re in soccer uniforms. And a white woman cuts right in front of us to order. Like ― she didn’t even see us,” she said.
“The girl behind the counter almost took her order. And I had to stand up because I know [Pemberton-Heard] was like, ‘Well, I’m not gonna cause a scene with Michelle Obama,’” she continued. “So I stepped up and I said, ‘Excuse me? You don’t see us four people standing right here, you just jumped in line?’”
Obama said the woman “didn’t apologize, she never looked me in my eye, she didn’t know it was me. All she saw was a black person, or a group of black people, or maybe she didn’t even see that. Because we were that invisible.”

Alternate theory:
They knew who you were and that's exactly why they wouldn't look you in the eye. -
Certain leaders will have you killed for looking them in the eye

Yeah, life has been real rough for Michelle. Just tough as nails.

Ha ha. White women treat everyone like that. Literally the most hypocritical, selfish people I know are white women. Don't get me wrong, I love me some white women, they make the best cookies. But this shit has happened to everyone.
Lastly, having attended SPS during the height of crack cocaine, my interactions with black women taught me, never, I repeat never, to stare at them. That will get you a quick, "What you looking at, honky?!" Followed by a "Don't roll your eyes at me!" When you're in the 6th grade and 8th grade girls have matured already, and they have geri curls, an ice cube tshirt under a raiders starter jacket, with cortez's on, you don't ever stare at them. Can someone photoshop Michelle Obama with this? -

It was someone cutting a line... something every human has experienced... Its more likely than not was just a simple mistake by the other person. I cant imagine a normal, well adjusted adult, even remembering the interaction by the time they have paid for their ice cream.
I made a point several months ago in the Smalls thread exactly about this;
"In the end, If you treat every shitty interaction from someone who looks different from you as a product of your own race you are naturally going to start thinking everyone who looks different than you is racist. What do you think it does person a person to constantly be told, "(this group) is hunting you"?"
What an incredible example of exactly what I said. -
