And that’s really my challenge to all of you today. As you go forth, when you encounter folks who still hold the old prejudices because they’ve only been around folks like themselves, when you meet folks who think they know all the answers because they’ve never heard any other viewpoints, it’s up to you to help them see things differently. And the good news is that you probably won’t have to bring a lawsuit or go all the way to the Supreme Court to do that. You all can make a difference every day in your own lives simply by teaching others the lessons you’ve learned here in Topeka. Maybe that starts simply in your own family, when grandpa tells that off-colored joke at Thanksgiving, or you’ve got an aunt talks about “those people.” Well, you can politely inform them that they’re talking about your friends. - Michelle Obama I cant believe I was roped into a comment thread where people think this speech was somehow offensive or harmful. When I gently asked for an explanation of what the problem with the speech was to them I got responses like youre so naive and THEY ARE COMING TO TAKE YOUR GUNS. Its a great speech and in particular for the place it was delivered. Enjoy... https://facebook/eli.neuberger/posts/10203478785866298
