For Michelle Obama, the world is black and white. But not about good and evil, right and wrong. Her black and white is all about skin color. She talks about it often, incessantly, even, injecting race and racism into speeches and events in which they have no business. And she did so again on Friday, when she traveled to Topeka, Kansas, to deliver a speech to graduating high school seniors. First, a background note: Her speech was moved up a day after parents complained that her visit to a school district -- just blocks from the historic schoolhouse central to the Brown v. Education Supreme Court decision that outlawed segregation -- would focus on race, not their childrens accomplishments. And that, in fact, is exactly what the first lady did.
