Michelle Obama visits Chicago Harper High School due to scores of its black students being either killed or shot by other blacks - BUT Michelle Obama NEVER MENTIONS BLACK VIOLENCE just GUN VIOLENCE

First lady Michelle Obama brought her message against youth violence to Chicago today, appearing at a luncheon with the mayor and civic leaders and then visiting Harper High School, whose students have often been casualties of gunfire.

Attending the luncheon were the parents of slain 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton, whose funeral Obama attended in February.

"This is personal," said Obama, as she told the story of growing up in Chicago's South Shore community. "Hadiya's family did everything right, but she still didn't have a chance."

Obama said it was very difficult for her to meet with Hadiya's friends before the funeral service.
