In an upcoming interview with People magazine, President Obama discusses his own brushes with racism, reminding everyone that race does indeed affect many throughout the nation, even one that serves as the President of the United States.
Sharing their own personal experiences, First Lady Michelle Obama recounted a time when Obama was mistaken as a waiter and asked to fetch coffee during a black-tie event.
She added “Before that, Barack Obama was a black man that lived on the South Side of Chicago, who had his share of troubles catching cabs.”
The interview will be available on stands Friday, December 19.
