Former first lady Michelle Obama spoke out about the Supreme Court’s Thursday ruling against affirmative action, recalling her own struggle to feel a sense of belonging as one of the few Black students at her university.
“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,” Michelle Obama wrote in her statement. “So today, my heart breaks for any young person out there who’s wondering what their future holds — and what kinds of chances will be open to them.”
The former first lady recalled her experience as one of the few Black students on campus during her undergraduate years at Princeton University, explaining that she sometimes questioned if people assumed she had only been accepted because of affirmative action policies. But over time, she said, she and other students of color showed that they, too, belonged in elite academic environments.

...here, at Princeton. STFU, Mike.
Definitely promoted beyond her abilities.
Barely literate.
So discriminate against whites and Asians to put token blacks and muslims in our universities? We figured that both you and barack were given an advantage over other deserving students.
barack was a “B” student in high school. No way he gets into an Ivy League school without playing poor victim.
Yes- it is believed that you attended Princeton via affirmative action. Own it.
“So often, we just accept that money, power, and privilege are perfectly justifiable forms of affirmative action”
Damn! Big Mike is walking down Barry’s memory lane.
Her senior thesis is available for reading.
She did not belong at Princeton or Harvard.

YOU UNGRATEFUL WITCH!! YOU GOT INTO PRINCETON BECAUSE YOU WERE BLACK!!
To be an affirmative action admit to Princeton University back in the day ( not valid these days - morons get admits.) you still had to have a lot going for you, even if you would never make it in without the affirmative action card.
You were second tier but still quite impressive
Michelle Obama received a back door admit given to the well connected who made it in because they had connections , not qualifications. The people who got this type of admit were generally very unqualified and very unimpressive
Deep State Media cracks open the door on Michelle’s campaign— set to go when Demtjoe steps aside.
The memes will be spectacular 😂
Without AA she would have never been admitted to Princeton. Nor Harvard Law. I always reference Christopher Hitchens review of her Princeton thesis: he tried to read it but it was not written in any known language.
Some people go through their whole life with a chip on their shoulder. It is a poor way to live your life.
You forgot the “barf” alert.
STFU, Mikey.
...here, at Princeton. STFU, Mike.
As a Transgender life was hard on Big Mike.
now let’s talk about the foreign aid that barry soetero aka obama received to go to college...

Jeez, self-awareness is clearly not one of Big Mike’s strengths.
