The TV is racist?

According to the female white house inhabitant, aka michelle obama, the TV is the reason black children are fat and she says it's racist. The kids are watching too much TV.

Now where's the accountability of the parents for turning the stupid box off and telling their children to go play outside?

Now MO also says these families have to go to grocery stores far from their homes; taking buses or taxis or walking, (gasp! walking? no, that would be exercise), to grocery stores, "just to get a head of lettuce". So they go to fast food places instead and there aren't healthy foods there or very little.

Again, where's the accountability of the parent to what they are feeding their families? If they can afford these fast food places then they can afford better foods for their families, even if they must "walk" to a better grocery store to get them. But how come MO doesn't say these fast food places are racist for making black children fat?

Or better yet, couldn't they grow a victory garden just like MO had her staff at the white house? It would be more economical, educational and gasp again, healthy and good exercise. (Yes, gardening can be good exercise.) Yes, I'm being a smart ass, because the ridiculousness of the statement just goes to show how big a white chip obama has on her shoulder, maybe both, but I can't help but wonder IF it will ever come off. I have my doubts.
