Regardless of the circumstances underwhich [sic] I interact with Whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be Black first and a student second.

I find this statement ironic, considering that is exactly the attitude that Michelle herself projects. Why is it everyone else's responsibility to be welcoming and inclusive when she has chosen to set herself apart based on her race?

Good point. Lefties always do this. They accuse their political enemies with what they are guilty of doing and perpetuating.

“it often seems as if..”

Mrs. Obama harbored the bias. Can one really get away with what reads as a last minute thesis at Princeton?

Not only that, but the fact remains that she *didn’t* belong at Princeton-—not because of the color of her skin, but because the quality of her intellect did not meet Princeton’s true admission standards and true day-to-day academic standards.

Of course a person is likely to feel alienated at an institution at which, from the get-go, they were ill-equipped intellectually to compete. Mrs. Obambi has stated over and over again that she was admitted to Princeton even though she didn’t have the scores-—that is, even though she did not meet the standard for admission that most other students met.

As I’ve said before, if I were somehow admitted to the NFL despite not being able to play to league standards, admission would in no way convey upon me the ability and skills to truly play football to NFL standards on the field. Just the way it is.
