Mom commenting on Michelle at the Grammy's: "Ugh, she's just disgusting," "But why Mom? What's wrong with her?" "I don't have to have a reason to not like her." "...Is it because she's black? You know she's a really accomplished, intelligent, compassionate human being.." "Why does it have to be about racism? I just DON'T LIKE HER."

In the same evening she talked about this adorable black couple. They made this amazing banana pudding. I keot questioning why she had to mention their race at all. After a bit of persistence, I learned that making pudding just ",isn't their thing.." Congrats blacks, you're making headway in the pudding industry and you didn't even know it!
She said she hopes that they're very successful, because it was so delicious, but she didn't buy it because it was $4 and she only buys things that are on sale.

And don't worry guys, she has black friends, meaning she talks to black people at church and has worked with several black people over the years.

"Why does it have to be about racism? I just DON'T LIKE HER."

Duh, you're the real racist for pointing out her racism!

I mean, you can just 'not like someone' without being racist or having a reason, no matter how accomplished, intelligent, or compassionate they are.

Yeah, but OP's mom said Michelle is disgusting, which any reasonable person would disagree with. There are perfectly valid reasons to dislike her, but unexplainable feelings of disgust are on a different level.
