Caught In Their Own Web Of Privilege: Obamas 'Rage Tweet' And Cry About Supreme Court Ruling From Their Luxuriously Lavish Getaway With These A-List Celebrities (Pics)

Leaked photos have revealed that the Obamas were enjoying a luxurious vacation in Greece, accompanied by Hollywood star Tom Hanks and his family.

This comes as the former first couple took to Twitter to express their thoughts on the Supreme Court's recent decision to strike down affirmative action.

Michelle Obama, in a statement posted on Twitter, shared her personal experience as one of the few Black students on her campus.

She expressed pride in being accepted into a respected school and acknowledged the doubts that affirmative action can sometimes create. "It was a shadow that students like me couldn't shake, whether those doubts came from the outside or inside our own minds," she said.

Michelle Obama emphasized the importance of creating a level playing field for all students, regardless of their background.

"So often, we just accept that money, power, and privilege are perfectly justifiable forms of affirmative action, while kids growing up like I did are expected to compete when the ground is anything but level," she stated.

She concluded by expressing her concern for young people who may be questioning their future opportunities and called for the enactment of policies that reflect the values of equity and fairness.

Former President Barack Obama also weighed in on the Supreme Court's decision, acknowledging that affirmative action was not a complete solution but provided an opportunity for marginalized students to prove their worth.

"In the wake of the Supreme Court's recent decision, it's time to redouble our efforts," he said.

According to Keep Talking Greece, the Obamas are currently enjoying their summer vacation on the islands of Paros and Antiparos, accompanied by Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson.

Paros Mayor Markos Kovaios confirmed their arrival and expressed his joy and honor at having the former president visit their island.

However, some critics have pointed out the lavish lifestyle of the Obamas. Benny Johnson, in a Twitter thread, highlighted the former first family's multiple multi-million dollar properties, including a 29-acre estate on Martha's Vineyard, as he questioned Michelle Obama's claims of oppression.

In a significant ruling, the Supreme Court voted 6-3 to declare race-based admission programs unconstitutional under the equal protection clause in the Fourteenth Amendment.

Chief Justice John Roberts, in the ruling, emphasized that courts cannot separate students based on race without a compelling justification that can be objectively reviewed.
