Michelle Obama went to Princeton University and graduated with honors. She then earned a law degree from Harvard. Her success story shows the American dream is alive and well.
Ben Shapiro recently called out Michelle Obama’s claims of oppression. He pointed out her Ivy League education and position as First Lady. This doesn’t match with being a victim.
Michelle faced some challenges at Princeton. One white roommate’s mother tried to get her moved because of her race. But Michelle worked hard and graduated near the top of her class.
Shapiro argues that America gave Michelle every opportunity. She got into Princeton and Harvard because of her talent. She became First Lady of the United States. That’s not oppression—that’s the opposite.
The conservative view is clear: Michelle’s life proves America rewards hard work. Her story shows anyone can succeed here. The victim narrative just isn’t true.
Liberals push the idea of systemic racism holding people back. But Michelle’s achievements blow that theory apart. She climbed to the very top through merit.
Shapiro reminds us that real oppression exists in places like communist China. In America, we have freedom and opportunity. Michelle’s life is proof of that.
Conservatives believe in celebrating American success stories. Michelle Obama’s journey from the South Side of Chicago to the White House is one of them. That’s the truth.
